McCain has had a terrible day also. 26% in NC and 22% in IN voted AGAINST him. His only saving grace is Hillary's meltdown.With Obama possibly losing Clinton supporters and McCain having problems with conservatives and both of them being hugely popular among independents, this will be maybe the most interesting election in American history.
The printer is working a little OT printing out these birth certificates.The lead is not narrowing enough. Clinton has Indiana.
Of course this reminds me alot of Missouri where he came back at the end too though.
Ballsy.Pull up Drudge and look at the headline...I switched from CNN to MSNBC. Doesn't have the cool maps but has much better analysis, plus that great prediction from Russert.I really need to switch over to MSNBC. I find that hard to believe. But I'll be
if it happens.
Agreed.But, in her camp...would this really be reason to celebrate? Taking today's results, would this really make a difference?
The fact this can even be debated isn't a good thing. I almost think it's better for Obama if he loses narrowly than this late night Gary return pulling it out. A narrow loss and he's the huge winner tonight. No questions, no issues. If he wins, it changes nothing from being the nominee. However, it just gives an odd feeling to the night.
Gary holding out until they knew what the rest of the county was doing is bad juju. This isn't a time zone thing. They are trying to make a big splash.
Meh. After Bush/Gore in Florida and other states since, the public can understand that it sometimes takes a while to count all of the votes.
Very classy.
Yes, but is there really a reason to report absolutely nothing, 0%, until the other state is almost entirely in? From the interviews I've seen, most cities have already reported their results to the county. The votes have been counted, they just aren't being reported.
Why doesn't anyone else do this? It's gold.Seriously. Most of the time, I look at stuff like this as fluff. But, it really helps explain what's going on and illustrates--literally--how the demographics work this way or that. Wicked cool.John King is freakin awesome
Oh, it's lame, but I think the only people that really care are the geeks like us staying up for the final tally.
That may be an Amish area?
The Mayor is on the phone now, they're working on getting "new numbers" out tonight so as not to disenfranchise their early voters.
Sounds to me like they had no idea how to do this quickly. Still sort of a back woods operation.
I think he should embrace being called an elitist."At the Obama campaign we're better than you, and we know it."
Listening to this guy is no great recommendation for Gary, Indiana.
I heard they had 11,000 absentee ballots in Lake county... can anyone confirm that?
It's the best result for Obama at this point in the night. He's secure in the nomination and nobody will call the results into question from Gary as to them swinging the election.
That margin shift was almost exactly the sum of the cities the Mayor from Hammond read out hours earlier on CNN. Sounds like for whatever reason they waited until all of Gary was in and reported and held back on the ones from hours earlier.
No. He's grating.
His only "talent" seems to be that he can fill silence.
He's Vin Scully without the sex appeal.
