It seemed obama was gaining strength in the polls, the longer the primary lasted, the more power hillary lost.

It was really nice of them, on the behalf of hillary, to do all of those primaries as soon as possible.

If it's Hillary Vs. A Republican, Hillary will probably lose, but the Republican will suffer dearly for daring to run up against her, The average American will know more negative things about that candidate then about Hitler or Mao. Just look at Obama, luckily; his pwnage and his glossy smile made all of the dirt slide right off.

Looks as though Illinois went to Obama and McCain, McCain for Connecticut and New Jersey, Romney got Massachusetts, Clinton got Oklahoma and has strong leads in Alabama and Tennessee.

Im getting all this from msnbc.com

CNN's delegate count:

Democrats
Clinton: 253 (60 Pledged/193 Superdelegates)
Obama: 199 (93/106)
Edwards: 26 (All Pledged)

Republicans
McCain: 190
Romney: 99
Huckabee: 54
Paul: 6

So far, Huckabee has been the big surprise.

Missouri is going to be interesting. 72 Delegates for the Dems and 58 for the Republicans and right now Huckabee is leading 36% to McCain's 31% to Romney's 23%.

However, what's driving this right now is the rural counties are reporting in and they tend to be Evangelical (we have several Baptist Bible Colleges around the Missouri/Oklahoma border) and that could be skewing the results.

Hillary is leading 56% to 37% here.

It'll be interesting what happens when the Central, Northern and STL & KC parts of the state report in.

It looks like Clinton is going to be the next president of the united states.
If these super tuesday numbers is anything to go by.

Here in Kansas, we are seeing a huge turnout, 3 or 4 times what was expected (2000 show up in Prairie Village when 500 were expected). I think we will go to Obama tonight.

You a Missouri grad?

I would like to see at least one party go to the convention...

Why did you guys win? To be honest I don't follow Basketball. Football, yes. Of course I want the Tigers to do well, but I don't really care either way!

Obama got Connecticut, Utah, North Dakota and Kansas

Well it's pretty close here in Missouri...between Huckabee and McCain.

Current Delegate Count per CNN:

Democratic:
Clinton: 299 (106 Pledged/193 Superdelegates)
Obama: 225 (119/106)
Edwards: 26
Needed for the Win: 2,025

Republican:
McCain: 383 (366/17)
Romney: 135 (126/9)
Huckabee: 87 (84/3)
Paul: 6
Needed for the Win: 1,191

On the Republican side I think it will be over once McCain+Huckabee=1,191. Or of course, Romney=1,191.

I voted...
For Hillary Clinton.

Frankly, I was AMAZED at the amoun of young Latinos were in today, all from my district. I was so proud.

Will Clinton win California? Will Obama win Missouri?

Today is crazy.

Doesn't matter, I believe Missouri is a proportional state on the Democratic side and at about 98% reporting it is 49% Clinton and 48% Obama so they will split the delegates evenly so it's more of a bragging rights victory rather than anything other than a null event.

What matters in this race in Missouri is the Republican side because the winner get ALL of our 58 delegates.

Clinton: 306
Obama: 235

McCain: 406
Romney: 151
Huckabee: 93

It does look like Huckabee is hurting Romney here in Missouri and McCain is starting to become a true frontrunner...

Well CNN is calling Missouri for McCain over Huckabee by less than 1% giving him all 58 delegates (giving him 475 delegates). They are also calling California for him and Clinton.

Although, they have yet to award California delegates to either candidate. There are 370 for the Democrats (plus 71 Superdelegates not decided by the Primary) and 170 for the Republicans (plus 3 unpledged RNC not decided by the primary).

I do agree with Glenn Beck that it will probably be McCain vs Clinton. However, I don't think either one totally has a lock or owns the nomination.

I was one of the ones who voted for Obama.

Damn...with the super delegates, Clinton will have the lead.

It's good to see another KU man on these boards.

This is what is so great about this primary season. The super delegates are a wild card, however if there is no change from what CNN et al are claiming, Obama could still pull ahead because he has thus far won 7 more primary delegates than Hillary (137 to her 130) so if he could pull ahead he could still win the nomination.

I think the Democratic nomination is far from won. However, the Republican nomination is looking like it will be wrapped up here shortly.

And I'm out until tomorrow...

Hilary is in the lead in California, as well McCain.

Really, why do the hispanics love Hillary so much? I honestly cannot see her particular appeal to that demographic.

Well, not with the news that you're watching...
But, through the years, she's cropped up in local Mexican news stations because she does things for the Latino community. So it's not like she suddenly became a Latino's good friend over night...she has built this reputation, and now she's reaping the reward. It's very different with Bush who, although he speaksSpanish and has a Mexican relative here and there and been a governer in Texas-- he has never really done anything community based for the Latino community.

Plus, she's looking like she's willing to listen and compromise with the Latino community on the immigration issue. Unlike other delegates, she's not wanting to rip up families apart with promises of doing this within 90 days of the presidency--

Latinos also believe she will be like Bill (but better.)

I'm thinking that she's popular with the gay vote too because, though her endevors haven't been chronicled widely-- it's at least been read by the gay community in gay zines and newspapers through the years.

And like Latinos, some may think she's going to be like Bill... but without the retardation of "don't ask, don't tell" policies.
