Running Primaries Thread

What's the total out of the Virgin Islands?

Mike should go there to give us coverage.

 

I think it's worth three delegates and the Obama folks were hoping for a 2-1 split.

Have not seen any returns, and I dispatched Mikey hours ago...

 

Washington has McCain at 27, Huckabee at 26 and Wacky Ron at 21. Of course, that's with just 16% reporting, but still...

 

Wacky Ron will do well with the Northwestern Republicans, who tend toward libertarianism. I'm really surprised that Huck's doing that well.

 

Not a good day for McCain at all, especially if Huck's number stays there.

 

Obama now up 50-37 in LA with just 2 percent reporting.

I can't get the link at the LA SOS site to load, so I'm going off TPM, but if anyone else has a better site than that, please post it.


EDIT: Now 52-36 with 4 percent in.

Yeah, that won't load for me.

Take the ball and run with it, Doc.

 

I really think Obama needs 60+ in Louisiana. Given Hillary's mailing it in there it's a great opportunity to put a cap on the day. If she's within spitting distance, it will be spun as some kind of victory for her.

 

Obama 52-38.

 

He needs a solid win, but 60+ in a primary is a little nuts.

He needs to win by a solid margin to cap a fantastic day and own the next couple news cycles. I'd be ecstatic at 55.

 

Meanwhile, the Huckinator is winning in LA and is down just one point in Washington.

Jones, your boy is having an awful, awful day.
