Today's primaries: Nevada and South Carolina

Looks like the Nevada Mormons are out in force. The race was called for Romney by the media with just 5% of votes in. Now the battle is on for second, with 36% of votes in, Paul and McCain are tied.

Dems started two hours later. Exit polls have Clinton winning comfortably.

South Carolina is not starting out well. McCain's camp released this early today:

South Carolina is full of dirty shit birds who will do anything to win an election.

So, Obama's union support came to nothing?

If you're interested in the breakdown of counties in the Dem caucus:

Apparently women voters came out in force. 58% to 42%

Wait...women can vote now?

Uh oh...

Romney will be the GOP candidate.

Obama leads in SC polls still...

Supertuesday states split their delegates by percentage of votes...

John Edwards could still save Obama if he would only GO HOME and give over his 18 delegates...

watch for Bloomberg to declare if Obama doesn't win SC

As an Obama supporter I'd say if we can declare Romney the GOP candidate, we can't say Obama is in trouble. It's all about delegates, and unless someone is jacked up in their reporting, Obama and Clinton have the same amount (not including Super Delegates). I'm not so sure Edwards ducking out right now would be a great thing for us. We'll see how it goes.

Declaring Romney the candidate because he won a state with a large Mormon population and anther where his father was a well respected governor is a bit ridiculous.

Thank you for your clinical intervention. I did drop the blades.

I guess today Clinton's delegate count went to 50, while Barack has 25? Edwards has 18? C'mon JOhn, turn them over to BO, you know it is the right thing to do.

But yes, superdelegates...

ANd Romney has 73 delegates, Huckabee has 34, and McCain has like..16?

I am just counting delegates btn barfing and wrist-cutting...

Exactly, it pretty much seemed like a given that he would take this one.

Wait, how did you get Clinton to 50?

For today only, they are predicting 13 for Clinton, 12 for Obama. Previously I believe the delegate count was 24 Obama 23 Clinton. Now, it's 37, 37.

but again

just counting delegates, not conjecture...

DEM's NEED: 2,025

Hillary 211
Obama 122
Edwards 52

GOP's NEED:1,191
Romney 72
Huckabee 24
McCain 19



CNN election scorecard

In defense, it might not be just today that would give someone a "feeling."

He has been putting in a good showing elsewhere, and has the most delegates to date, plus lots of money. He could continue pretty steadily. It's certainly not a fact that he will be the candidate- but anything is possible at this point, and Romney is a pretty big possibility.

Agreed.

If Clinton wins South Carolina, I'm going to be very disappointed.

I am divorcing RON after today, that's all I know...

Do you get free exams?

We will in Montreal

Paul has jumped ahead of McCain with 96% counted. There is a God.

I am so confused. David Axelrod is smiling saying that Barack won more delegates today in Nevada than Hillary did

He say HC got 12 and BO got 15???

ahhh the AUDACITY of HOPE is back!!!
