Boston.com sent me THREE test emails. Three. They are PRIMED.
ABC TV is not focusing on Massachsetts, must find another station.
I just got an e-mail from the Obama campaign saying they'd clearly won Illinois (although of course the votes are far from all tallied yet).
OF course, each poller at the exit polls did not ask EACH person who voted, but if a poller asked a substantial number of voters, then one could get a reasonably accurate prediction based on the exit polls.
43 delegates in Massachusetts on the Democratic side.
This is a wonderful, exciting time in our history!
Romney 75%
McCain - 23 %
Huckabee - 1 %
Paul: 1 %.
This is Belmont, only. 45 of 2,167 precincts reporting.
Well, I will be at KIVITV.COM the rest of the evening. They televise quite a bit, so let's see.....
Perhaps see you all later..........
Right now:
- Obama is ahead in Ala, Conn, Del, and a win is predicted in Ga & Ill
- Clinton is ahead in Mass, Mo, NJ, OK, Tenn
- McCain is ahead in Ala, Del, Ill, Mo, NJ, OK, Tenn, and a win is predicted for him in Conn.
- Romney is ahead only in Mass by 52%
- Huckabee is ahead in Ga only
At this point it looks like the final will be McCain/Clinton, but Obama seems to have long legs. No one can say we didn't have a lot of choice in this election!
Diane Sawyer said this was the biggest EVANGELICAL vote in history.
But the meat and potatoes Dems went for the Clintons. Sen. Clinton. Hill/Bill.
Has anyone noticed how many more people voted dem than repub across the board in every state that votes today? Almost twice as many people voted dem. That's a very good sign for the national election, hopefully.
Minnesota results here in case you're interested!
Anne B. Grote: You are so proud!!! I am so GLAD your bro is a delegate! We dems need great people~
thanks all
