Delaware To Obama, New York To Clinton
Advantage Clinton on that one, but Delaware was seen as a Clinton state and Obama came back to win. He's up in Connecticut too. The big one is New Jersey; it would be an upset AND it's delegate-rich.
...Great news from IL-14; apparently John Laesch is winning in a rout in the primary! Laesch is a real-deal progressive running against a centrist named Bill Foster. I met both at Yearly Kos, actually, and they both seemed fine, but Laesch had a great platform.
...More great news - the Kansas caucuses are through the roof for the Dems! I've heard the same about the New Mexico primaries. Turnout is the story of this primary season.
...OK, it's not all good news. Mark Pera is getting crushed in his primary race against Bush Dog Dan Lipinski. It's hard to unseat an incumbent. They have lots of built-in advantages.
...Alabama goes to Obama, New Jersey to Clinton. It looks like the exit polls floating around were way too optimistic for Obama. So far, Clinton has 6 states, Obama 4, but delegates are the key, and I think Obama is doing pretty well on that front.
...I didn't realize Kansas had been called for Obama. Not surprising, with Sebelius' support and the high turnout. So far we've got:
Hillary Clinton
New York
Tennessee
Oklahoma
New Jersey
Massachusetts
Arkansas
Barack Obama
Delaware
Georgia
Illinois
Alabama
Kansas
Again, delegates are the key, and Chuck Todd on MSNBC said the delegates looked good for Obama in Georgia, Illinois, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
