It's really starting to look like it will be. Most of the polling reports I've seen over the last couple days have McCain with a sizable lead. On the other side I saw a repost that depending on how California goes Hillary and Obama could be withing 100 delegates of each other. That would be fun.

Obama is one hell of a salesman - he reminds me of a revival preacher, fantastic at selling hope. Very Christian too. I'm surprised fundagelicals can't see that. |

I was expecting more from Obama last night to be honest.
Not knocking what he has achieved, but part of me thought the Clinton vote might collapse completely, the way things were going. I am increasingly happy with the way things are going. McCain versus either Democratic option is a nice choice to have and whatever happens the US will be moving in the right direction by next year. |

All the coverage I watch about this - from the UK and the US side, make a really big thing about it being an election of firsts - either the first black man President, or female, or the oldest President.
I have noticed that the prospect of having the first Mormon President often isnt even mentioned, though I would have thought it was at least as ground-breaking as having the oldest man in there. Is this because people dont regard him as likely to win it? Or because having a Mormon in there wont be so significant as some of the other precedents that might be set? Its hard for me to appraise Mormonism in some ways as all religions seem equally absurd to me. |

*yawn* Stayed up till around 5ish, wanted to know the projected results for Minnesota, Connecticut, Missouri and California if any of them, before i called it a night.
Obama and McCain the clear winners in my area of interest, and Edwards' earlier withdrawal increased the margain. So, what are your predictions on the Democratic side for the upcoming states? We've got, Virginia, Washington DC, Texas. Others too, but they are the ones i remember being most present on the horizon. ![]() |
