Running Primaries Thread

As expected, an Obama sweep.

MSNBC calls the Pelican State.

McCain's in trouble.

 

The Virgin Islands also fall over with their legs in the air.

It's a sweep, folks.

 

MSNBC says Obama will be up roughly 60-70 pledged delegates after tonight. If he stretches that to 100-120 after the Potomac, that's a significant margin in a proportional distribution system.

 

Um...AP: This sentence fails.

Early returns from Louisiana precincts showed him leading the former first lady, a black man hoping to extend a string of Southern primary triumphs that already included South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia.

 

Will it be enough to make up for the Superdelegates that Hillary is believed to have in her back pocket?

 

No, she'll still be up 20 or so after tonight.

 

I believe so, least if CNN's numbers on the superdelegates are to be believed and my math is not full of fail.

 

I don't care about the superdelegates. They won't overrule the electorate. The question is: Will Clinton overcome that lead if she wins both Ohio and Texas? Or more importantly, can Obama get enough separation and momentum to take one of those states? We'll see.

 

But he could make up the difference after the potomac primaries this week.

 

Ugh. Like it's just any black man. Jeez.

 

Absolutely.

 

I was thinking more that the former first lady isn't a black man, myself.
