We’ll stay with this thread as long as we can. Georgia closes at 7 p.m.; if there’s a late conservative surge towards Mitt, presumably it’ll show up there first. Missouri, which is winner take all, checks in at 8 p.m. After that, it’s a long hard slog until California at 11.
Have I mentioned yet that it would be worth your while to cross over and vote for Hillary? I think I have, but in case you missed it, vote Hillary.
Exit polls as soon as I get them. Stand by.
Update: As of 6 p.m., Megyn Kelly says on Fox that Huck earns 33% of the half or so of GOP voters who voted today who call themselves evangelicals. Mitt leads among immigration voters, with 48%, but McCain leads among economy voters and Iraq voters.
Update: Mitt wins Missouri — but McCain wins California?
Update: Obama leads among black voters, 44-17, and trails among whites only 50-44. Among white women, he trails only 57-44. She’s in trouble, although she does lead big among Latinos.
Update: CNN should have Georgia results at 7 and other states at 8.
Update: “Obama large in exit polls,” says Drudge. Start praying.
Update: Via Drudge, brutal.
OBAMA: Alabama: Obama 60, Clinton 37… Arizona: Obama 51, Clinton 45… Connecticut: Obama 53, Clinton 45… Delaware: Obama 56, Clinton 42… Georgia: Obama 75, Clinton 26… Illinois: Obama 70, Clinton 30… Massachusetts: Obama 50, Clinton 48… Missouri: Obama 50, Clinton 46… New Jersey: Obama 53, Clinton 47…
CLINTON: Arkansas: Clinton 72, Obama 26… California: Clinton 50, Obama 47… New York: Clinton 56, Obama 43… Oklahoma: Clinton 61, Obama 31… Tennessee: Clinton 52, Obama 41…
Update: Obama wins Georgia on the strength of blacks. GOP is too close to call.
Update: Good lord — 86-13 for Obama.
Update: The exit polls give Huck a six-point lead among women in Georgia. It’s a proportional state, so each candidate will take about a third of the delegates.
Update: McCain wins New Jersey, Illinois, and Connecticut, as expected. Huck steals Alabama. Mitt wins Massachusettes. Hillary wins Oklahoma and Obama takes his home state of Illinois.
Megyn Kelly says Obama wins among whites(!) in Connecticut and Hispanics in Illinois, 51-47. Huckabee’s killing Romney among evangelicals in Georgia.
Hillary wins Tennessee.
Update: Wow indeed: Maverick’s home state is in play?
Update: Romney’s running a fairly distant third in Georgia right now, 37-33-25 with Huck in the lead. If Huck holds on, this makes three wins for him already: Georgia, West Virginia, and Alabama, which McCain was supposed to win.
Update: Rove is on FNC right now calling McCain’s decision to campaign in a lost cause like Massachusetts a huge mistake. Georgia was the early prize, not Mitt’s backyard.
Update: Good lord. As of 9 p.m., Fox still can’t call Arizona for Maverick yet. The Glacier wins New York and, whew, Massachusetts too, negating the Waffles/Teddy effect. But Obama wins Delaware and is in position to steal Connecticut.
Update: Whew. Hillary holds onto New Jersey.
Update: No surprise — Maverick takes New York’s winner-take-all delegates. As for Massachusetts, Hillary wins among women 57-40; in Delaware, Obama wins 90% of the black vote.
Update: Dean Barnett e-mails to say Hillary is doing better than the exit polls predicted — and Mitt’s doing worse. The only state McCain’s lost so far that he hoped to carry was Alabama. If Hillary sneaks out of California with a win, it’s a good night for her. 90 minutes until the polls close.
Update: Obama locks up Alabama. Meanwhile, Huck’s on the brink of taking WTA Missouri while McCain leads in Tennessee and it’s a dogfight between Maverick and Huck in Oklahoma. Where’s Romney? The only state he’s won thus far is Massachusetts.
Update: MM notes that McCain’s in trouble in a number of states he was supposed to win: Missouri, Georgia, Arizona, and Alabama (which he’s already supposedly lost). True enough — but it’s Huckabee, not Mitt, who’s knocking him off.
Update: Maverick knocks off Huckabee in Oklahoma. Still no big wins for Mitt.
Update: Mitt wins Utah, as expected. So does Obama.
Update: Damn. Obama takes Connecticut from Hillary.
Update: Mitt takes the North Dakota caucuses. Obama takes the Minnesota caucuses.
Update: Took him long enough but McCain came through in his home state. Arizona goes to Maverick, winner take all.
Update: Drudge says Mitt takes Minnesota, Colorado, and Montana. That’s super, but McCain’s swept all the winner-take-all states and is poised to take Missouri too. If Romney doesn’t take California, this is a disappointment.
Update: Atta girl. The Glacier sneaks through in Missouri. But does she trail in the delegate count?

Watching Obama speak - you can almost see the Kool Aid being passed around.
Of course Obama knew that McCain wasn’t finished with his speech before he began.
I wonder if Obama would support torture if some Islamic fascist knew where the bomb was in his house. Just wondering…

Hey, where’s Ned Lamont? Kos is gonna cry.
C’mon Hillary. You can do it girl. She would be less bad than Obama if the purists manage to hand the White House to a dem.
funky chicken on February 5, 2008 at 11:56 PM
He’s not a screeching haredon. He fairly and thoroughly parses his opponent’s arguments befor breifly noting that he disagrees. This alone makes him a 70% improvement over the type of progressive we’ve suffered over the past several years. But mak no mistake: he’s a lefty.

jerrytbg on February 5, 2008 at 11:57 PM
I like your confidence. Obama will be tough to crack, but I agree that Romney would have no chance - he’s already 14 points behind Obama in matchups, has limited appeal to independents, and that’s before the media swooning over the Messiah reaches top gear. Better still bring on Hillary.
Pax americana on February 5, 2008 at 11:57 PM
Give it a rest already. Now you’re just sounding like a poor loser. Go support the democrats if you must. You would’nt appreciate it if your guy won and the backers of the loser just kept pounding it out of spite.

I am voting Republican no matter who wins the primary. How about you?
Hmm. Which one is more loyal to the party, then?

For the third or fourth time, I’ve voted against McCain in the Arizona GOP primary, which he’s one, and I’ll vote for him in the General.

Chakra Hammer on February 6, 2008 at 12:00 AM
Being such a close race on the democrat side helps Republicans, but Hillary will be brow beaten to put Obama on the ticket with her if she wins. That would be a hard combination to stop.
myamphibian on February 6, 2008 at 12:01 AM
I thought I made it clear when I said i registered as an independent. It is obvious to me after these election returns that the Repub party has drifted left. I can’t and won’t support that. If it is not loyal to me it cannot expect my loyalty.

It’s McCain’s fault the exit polls sucked? Sheesh.
Good day for Huckabee. If McCain wraps up the nomination, he’s going to have seriously consider him for veep. Too bad, I was hoping for a McCain/Giuliani ticket (how freaking crazy that that’s even a possibility).
…sincere thanks to everybody who voted today (especially if you voted McCain) and boo to the states that continue to ignore the voices of Independents in the presidential selection process. And if your state still has a primary, you can still push for a brokered convention, so cheer up.

Obama: “We all lived in van down by the river”.
How much time is Fox giving to Obama after cutting off McCain (not that I’m a McCain supporter)? What a windbag.

Not as stupid as voting Democrat.
myamphibian on February 6, 2008 at 12:03 AM
I get the feeling listening to this Obama preacher give a Sunday morning sermon to the choir, that they all really just want to chant AMEN BROTHER every time he pauses.
McCain looks so wooden and old… and yet next to this slick snakeoil salesman it almost seems endearing.

Chakra Hammer on February 6, 2008 at 12:05 AM
I’m sure many of the anti-McCain people will actively assist the Democrat Candidate and the MSM.
Listen, Don’t project your own misgivings on us. You all were the ones who have been convinced all along that McCain is a “liberal” of whom there is no distinction to be drawn from the Democrat contenders and who is viewed in that light by the MSM. Not we.

@ myamphibian on February 6, 2008 at 12:03 AM
As long as dumb republicans will continue to vote for fake conservatives, real conservatives will not run. Sometimes you have to stick to your principles instead of blindly following a group.

Too much Kool Aid!
mogilla on February 6, 2008 at 12:06 AM
Obama sure couldn’t wait to promote the government gravy train for the midwest storms today. Is it just me, or does he like to hear himself talk down to people?
So Romney’s up to what… 6/7 states total? McCain has 8, maybe? Huck has 5? I know our state has the caucus Saturday (about half), and the primary the following Tuesday. Seems several states still have delegates to give up (like WV) because of similar processes.
McCain has a third of what he needs right now to win… and this is supposed to be his big night, with HALF of America holding either a caucus or primary.
Colour me *yawn*…. not impressed.
And for the love of GOD, you’d think after 25 years perorating in Congress he’d have developed SOME locution skills. He’s so unnatural and stilted in his speeches. Compared to Romney he has zero energy and enthusiasm.

SouthernGent on February 6, 2008 at 12:07 AM
I’ll be voting for Obama in the Dem primary. If he wins the popular vote, Hillary will be forced to bludgeon the win out of the super-delegates, using bribery and blackmail in a really ugly display of nastiness. Nothing would improve the GOP chances more.
Then I’ll vote for McCain in November, with an air sickness bag handy.

funky chicken on February 6, 2008 at 12:08 AM
McCain was very generous to Huck and Romney in his speech.
Pax americana on February 6, 2008 at 12:08 AM
I won’t go so far as to say I will vote for a Dhimmicrat. That just will not happen.
But I won’t cast a vote for someone who is not a Republican either, especially one that has spit on the GOP for their own personal and political gain.
Fred! gets my vote on March 4th and in November.

Come on Hillary. Seriously, she’s not as bad as Obama.
I wonder how many dead people from East St. Louis (which is in IL) came over to vote Obama in St. Louis, MO? It could be at least 2500.

I preferred Romney over McCain too, but the people that are acting as if the GOP or conservatism is going to die if McCain wins make me sick.
