SUPER TUESDAY LIVEBLOGGING II

>


I just got back from dinner. While I was out I see the networks called Arizona for Clinton, Minnesota, Colorado and Idaho for Obama. Missouri is too close to call and California looks like it's coming in for Hillary.

IL-14 is tight as can be, with the Blue Dog's home county, Kane, coming in pretty big for him.

Tennessee was just called for Huckabee; he also won Georgia.

Obama took Alaska.

The Blue Dog is up by 365 votes over John Laesch; absentee ballots haven't been counted yet.

CNN just called Missouri for Obama.


UPDATE: JOHN LAESCH TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT AT 3PM (CENTRAL TIME) AT FDL

It won't be a concession speech.

Obama and Clinton fought to a draw last night. New Mexico is still counting. March 4 is Texas and Ohio and that's where the race moves now.

120 votes separate Obama and Clinton in New Mexico and recounting is underway. "Clinton had 65,845 votes to Obama's 65,728 votes with complete but unofficial results from 31 counties and incomplete tallies from two counties at 1 a.m. today. The totals did not include more than 16,000 provisional ballots that state Democratic Party workers will begin going through one at a time today."

Because it still isn't a two-pygmy race on the other side, McCain's losses in Alaska, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota (to Willard) and Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee and West Virginia (to The Huckster) just look like skirmishing. Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Hewett and the rest of the hate-America extremists can't do anything about preventing McCain from being their dead party's next Bob Dole. Tomorrow he'll appear at the extremist pow-wow CPAC, although the organizers have promised him that the deranged Ann Coulter, previous star of their events, will be kept away.


UPDATE: ONE LAST THOUGHT ON SUPER TUESDAY-- WHO WON?

Hillary had more votes than Obama... 64,000 votes to be exact (out of the fourteen and a half million cast). He won the most delegates and the most states. I'd call it basically a draw, no?

The NM results tell me that a Richardson endorsement would have been huge. Also, didn't Hillary once have a huge lead in NM?
