Yeah, it probably does. But unless you feel strongly about it, I'm not going to move it.Faramond wrote:Hey, Voronwë, doesn't your post belong in Obama Phenomenon? I suppose you are a part of Obama's delegate math!
This probably should go in that thread, too, but I'm already typing here and arguably this is also about Obama's delegate math. I just got an email from my sister in New York surprisingly stating that she voted for Obama after all, after stating all weekend that she was supporting Clinton. Apparently the arguments that I made (and that my brother-in-law her husband made) ended up convincing her that Obama was a better candidate after all. I'm very impressed!

I voted in a neighbor's garage. (I'd never seen/heard of such a thing before moving to SF; in San Jose, I voted at a labor union's local facility and in Virginia, we normally voted in schools. Is SF unusual in this, or is it common to have individuals make their residential garages available for voting in national elections? )
I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can't write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh
When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "You're out of time,"
But still I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in, think again
Don't be surprised, I will still rise

Connecticut and New Jersey have been called by CNN for McCain, while Massachussetts has been called for Romney.
On the Democratic side, they have called Oklahoma for Clinton, and Illinois for Obama (in addition to Georgia).

CNN is now projecting that Arkansas goes to Clinton and Huckabee.

Oh man, I hope you're right. I'm seeing some very discouraging things in exit polls for McCain. But who needs exit polls? Bring on the real thing!solicitr wrote:Very early Georgia returns have McCain and Huckabee in a statistical tie 36%-35%, with Romney ten points behind. If this holds up, McCain may have a very good night overall.

I know...both candidates have SUCH attenuated ties to Arkansas!
You don't? Dude, this is like...this week's Big Game. How are you going to celebrate it properly?

I would be very wary of early exit polls.
Tennessee has been called for Clinton. And I think I forgot to mention that Illinois went to McCain. That should cheer you up, Faramond.

Delaware for McCain, Alabama for Huckabee.
New York polls close in 6 minutes.

AP by way of the New York Times' front page (though the NYT also has McCain leading with 10 percent reporting.)

New York has been called for Clinton and McCain. Clinton has also taken New Jersey and Massachussets. I guess the Kennedy endorsement didn't help too much.
