MSNBC just called it.<\/p>\n<p>9:28: 58% for Hillary, to 38% for Obama, in Massachusetts per MSNBC. I&#8217;m not sure if they called it, but I would.<\/p>\n<p>On the Red side, Arkansas has been called by CNN for Huckabee (59% to McCain&#8217;s 23%), even though only 4% of precincts are reporting.<\/p>\n<p>9:30: West Virginia&#8217;s quick&#8230; 100% in. Huckabee won with 52%, to Romney&#8217;s 47%. Massachusetts has also been called by CNN for Romney, 52% to McCain&#8217;s 40%.<\/p>\n<p>9:33: MSNBC has called New York, New Jersey, and Illinois for McCain. Alabama is 40$ McCain, 38% Huckabee, but MSNBC is calling it for Huckabee. He&#8217;s got 59% in Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>In Georgia, MSNBC is calling it a three-way tie right now for the Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>9:36: Idaho has only 9% in, but is showing Obama leading overwhelmingly (73% to 23%). He has a more narrow lead in North Dakota, 54% to 43%, with 26% reporting.<\/p>\n<p>9:40: Connecticut is close, but Obama leads 50% to 48% right now, with 43% of the results in. No one&#8217;s daring to call it one way or the other right now.<\/p>\n<p>9:41: A compatriot reports that Boylston, MA went for Ron Paul.<\/p>\n<p>9:43: Howard Dean, interviewed live on MSNBC, has just called Romney &#8220;The candidate of change. He&#8217;s changed his mind on almost every single issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>9:47: Tennessee, reported on MSNBC and CNN, has closed down some polling locations as a tornado blew through Kentucky and Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>10:05: MSNBC suggests that Obama&#8217;s leading in Utah. I haven&#8217;t seen results yet, though.<\/p>\n<p>10:10: Huckabee is speaking live now, and is talking about how he&#8217;ll be in office in under a year, and how much he looks forward to putting his &#8220;Out of Business&#8221; sign on the IRS.<\/p>\n<p>10:19: Well Kansas has sure changed. 64% are in; Obama&#8217;s winning 72% to 28% now, and MSNBC has projected it for him.<\/p>\n<p>10:24: MSNBC is saying Barack and Hillary have 6 states each right now.<\/p>\n<p>10:25: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/ELECTION\/2008\/primaries\/results\/state\/#MA\">CNN&#8217;s exit poll data for Massachusetts<\/a> suggests an overwhelming female turnout, 58 to 42%, in the Democrat primary. It was almost the exact opposite in the Republican primary, 57% male to 43% female.<\/p>\n<p>10:27: 72% in, but MSNBC has called for Obama in Connecticut, 50% to 47%.<\/p>\n<p>10:32: Minnesota is Obama&#8217;s, 64% to to 34% right now.<\/p>\n<p>10:43: Huckabee&#8217;s taken Georgia, per MSNBC.<\/p>\n<p>10:44: Very few results are in from Colorado yet, but Obama has a sizable lead there right now, 65% to Hillary&#8217;s 34%.<\/p>\n<p>11:02: North Dakota, per MSNBC, is Romney&#8217;s.  Minnesota is going to Romney so far, but Ron Paul surprised me by getting 16%. More interestingly, 21% in North Dakota went for Ron Paul, too.<\/p>\n<p>11:11: California&#8217;s been closed for 11 minutes. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/ELECTION\/2008\/primaries\/results\/state\/#CA\">Results<\/a> haven&#8217;t really come in yet in numbers. MSNBC shows Obama as having taken 11 states thus far, whereas Clinton has only taken 6.<\/p>\n<p>11:17: Arizona went to Clinton. California&#8217;s being led by Clinton right now, but there are so few results that it&#8217;s still showing 0%.<\/p>\n<p>11:20: California&#8217;s at 2%, but early results are that Clinton has a strong lead (57% Obama, 32% Obama, Edwards has a surprising 9% of the vote&#8230; Good for someone not even in the race.) On the other side, McCain has a very strong lead over Romney.<\/p>\n<p>11:25: Now Obama has 10 states, Hillary 7. Not sure where the error lies. Of course it&#8217;s too early.<\/p>\n<p>12:05: Alaska&#8217;s coming in, and Obama&#8217;s winning by a landslide! Missouri&#8217;s incredibly close.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not a lot of results are in, but based on exit polls, people are predicting: Obama takes Illinois (his home state) and Georgia Clinton takes her home state of New York, as well as Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Arkansas (another Clinton &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/2008\/02\/05\/exit-polls\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,17,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2","category-obama","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
