Obama now guaranteed to win more states tonight...
10 have been called for him:

AL, CT, GA, IL, ND, DE, ID, KS, MN, UT

and two more almost certainly are going his way:

CO, AK


Hillary has 6 wins so far:

MA, TN, AR, NJ, NY, OK

and 2 more that she is likely to win:

MO, AZ


That makes the score Obama 12, Hillary 8... with CA and NM still outstanding.



Bottom line.... Delegates look to break slightly in Obama's favor..... States will break in his favor..... If he wins California, this will be portrayed as a very victorious night for Obama. If it is an essential tie, it was still a bigger night for Obama than Hillary.



This is a good night for Obama's campaign.... a very good night.

7. At 14% of the vote, what on earth would make you think this is accurate?
Spin?

3. I'm not getting over excited for CA.
I think it will be close (within 7% difference) - but I still view that as a victory for Obama. It still gives the momentum to pull through.

5. I think it'll be closer than that, even. 3-4 percent would be my guess. NT

6. my CA county has more people than either Idaho DE or ND and almost as many as
Arkansas and Kansas or Utah.

And both obama and hillary will probably get more votes here than in many of those states.
