Primary coverage
Jump to Comments
I’m not a huge fan of CNN, by any means, but I’ve found their website to be useful (since I can’t stand watching election coverage on the tube) in following results from the primaries. As I toddle out the door for an evening of martial arts, Clinton is holding a narrowing lead over Obama in Indiana. When I first checked, it was a 14-point lead, but it is currently (5:30 pm PDT) a 10-point lead. In North Carolina, Obama is leading 63-34%. Judging from the county results here, this isn’t a product of an urban v rural split as is evident in Indiana. However, I know zippadeedoodah about population distribution in North Carolina; other, more conversant people (and a lot of dumbasses on the tv) will explain it to us.

And even while I was writing that, Clinton’s lead dropped to eight.
May 6, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Thanks, gummitch. I was wondering how things were going.
May 6, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Wow. Obama has kicked Hil’s ass in NC. Was that expected? I’ve been a bit out of it lately.
May 6, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Hil’s lead is now down to six points, but the vote margin is holding steady.
Zo, in NC, polls showed Obama up by 10-20 points. Currently he’s up by 26 points, but that may narrow as the evening progresses.
May 6, 2008 at 6:05 pm
This from another site:
She’s ahead by 8% in Indiana BUT the biggest counties– Obama strongholds– haven’t reported yet. If she wins by a squeaker she’s in trouble.
May 6, 2008 at 6:05 pm
I was just going to report that, Gorn.
BTW, great discussion you have going with that rhino boy. He’s really leaning hard on the ropes.
May 6, 2008 at 6:07 pm
She’s not going to win by double digits, that’s for sure.
May 6, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Did you hear about the nuns that couldn’t vote in IN because of the new law?
May 6, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Both races are narrowing slowly. Hil was up by 60k votes earlier, now down to 50k, and of course the percentage is shrinking. NC is gradually narrowing, but there is such a big gap that Hil is dead meat without a doubt.
Here’s my official projection:
Hil wins Indiana by 4%, Obama wins NC by 15%. I’ll guess Obama ends the night with a net gain of about 15 delegates.
May 6, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Yeah, isn’t that sick? The only voter fraud that ever happens is AGAINST the voters.
May 6, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Even with all the shit Hillary is flinging, she’s not getting the numbers she’s hoping for.
May 6, 2008 at 6:10 pm
I hope they sue and it gets to the SCOTUS…those anti-constitution loving pricks.
May 6, 2008 at 6:10 pm
It’s never a good idea for a rhino to take on a gorilla. Rhinos are big and strong, but they’re also stupid and clumsy.
May 6, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Obama is speaking now in NC.
May 6, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Well, WE knew that, gorn.
May 6, 2008 at 6:12 pm
What is Obama saying?
May 6, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Just thanks thus far, Z.
May 6, 2008 at 6:14 pm
He looks pretty relaxed, though.
May 6, 2008 at 6:14 pm
This was supposed to be a game changer and today NC showed that the only game the voters want changed is that in DC.
And he thanked Clinton.
May 6, 2008 at 6:15 pm
He conceded Indiana to Clinton! Wow. She would never be that gracious to do that even before the race is called (maybe not even after!)
May 6, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Thanked the people of NC for a big state win, a swing state and a state they will win in the GE.
May 6, 2008 at 6:16 pm
He conceded?? I didn’t catch that as a concession.
May 6, 2008 at 6:17 pm
He said they showed that we can overcome spin, divisiveness, and the politics of Washington and that’s how we intend to change the country.
May 6, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Unless my ears are wrong, he congratulated her on a victory in Indiana, then went on to talk about his bigger win in NC.
Her lead is down to 47k now, BTW, with 69% counted.
May 6, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Excellent move by Obama, conceding IN. Especially when she’s screaming to get FL and MI counted. She looks like a screaming fish-wife, and he looks like a gentleman.
May 6, 2008 at 6:19 pm
He said he doesn’t believe that either Clinton or his supports won’t support the other. It’s not about Clinton, McCain or Obama…it’s about YOU, the people. And a party that can lead us towards a brighter future.
And we have to remember what we are as a party…what our principles are and we have a higher purpose and a common purpose and we intend to march forward as a common people - the democratic party and we can’t afford to give McCain a chance to live out a Bush 3rd term and that is why we will be united in November.
May 6, 2008 at 6:20 pm
God he’s good!!
May 6, 2008 at 6:20 pm
That’s my thinking too, Zo.
He’s given a very strong speech - relaxed and confident. He sure looks like he’s put the misery of the past couple of weeks behind him. Got his sea legs back.
May 6, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Thank goodness.
I’m off to my math exam. Wish me luck!
See ya when I see ya.
May 6, 2008 at 6:22 pm
He’s telling stories about wealthy CEO’s and out of work middle class people and tax breaks that the middle class.
Story about healthcare that regular people can’t get.
Story about the woman who gave him a bracelet with her dead son’s name - who was killed in the war. No more 4 years of war. No homeless vets. No unpaid disability for vets or having them travel for hours to get care.
All the reasons he is running for president.
May 6, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Break a leg, Zo.
May 6, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Between the two contests (so far), he’s padded his popular vote lead by another 107k votes. It will be interesting to see Hillary’s spin to show this as less than a disaster.
May 6, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Indiana: with 71% of the vote in, Hillary’s lead is down to 42k votes, ~4%.
May 6, 2008 at 6:26 pm
I’m watching MSNBC. Obama is now within 4 points in Indiana.. Wow, he started out behind 16 points.
May 6, 2008 at 6:28 pm
But Hillary has closed the gap in NC from 30+points to 16.
May 6, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Muse, they said his strongholds hadn’t reported in yet. This should be interesting.
I am disappointed that he conceded IN when it’s so close.
May 6, 2008 at 6:32 pm
He’s taking the high road, MsJoanne. Pretty smart, actually, stealing some thunder from Hil before she does her speech.
May 6, 2008 at 6:33 pm
He ALWAYS takes the high road and that is what is so damned appealing about him. He doesn’t play all the typical DC bullshit games, all the things Hillary is doing now.
He’s so fresh and so appealing to so many people.
I love this speech. He’s amazing.
May 6, 2008 at 6:33 pm
With 73%, Hil is back up to a 44k margin.
May 6, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Even Olbermann said the semi-concession to IN is premature.
May 6, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Whoa - with 74%, Hil’s margin down to 38k.
Hil’s getting a little closer in NC too, about 146k behind.
May 6, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Obama is such a class act in comparison to his opponent. I appreciate so much his consistently taking the high road. He sees what this country needs, she only sees what she needs.
May 6, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Indiana at 76%, margin closes to 35k.
NC - margin inches up slightly to 153k
May 6, 2008 at 6:48 pm
It is so refreshing to hear him speak after 8 years of George Bush… OMG…
May 6, 2008 at 6:49 pm
IN: 78% counted, margin only 32k
May 6, 2008 at 6:50 pm
I just have this sick feeling that even if Obama wins both states tonight that Hillary will find a way to dismiss it and keep going. At all costs.
May 6, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Have I ever mentioned how much I love this place and every one of you guys?
I love this community!!
May 6, 2008 at 6:50 pm
You’re right muse, but of course the dimbulb managed to beat both Gore and Kerry, both of whom could string together a grammatical sentence with more than three words.
May 6, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Muse, if she drops out, I’ll eat my hat.
There is nothing that could happen to make that happen.
She will find another way to spin it. She really is the Rovian candidate.
May 6, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Russet just said that this may give him the popular vote, too…one less thing Hils can spin.
May 6, 2008 at 6:54 pm
We love us some muse, too… *smack*
May 6, 2008 at 6:54 pm
NYT, @ 21: 49:
IN 52.1 (C) , 48 (O), with 74% reporting
NC 41.5 (C), 56.4 (O) with 55% reporting
May 6, 2008 at 6:55 pm
I love you guys too..
May 6, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Ooops, that was MsJoanne (blush). Well, we loves us some MsJoanne and some muse, lots.
May 6, 2008 at 6:56 pm
I mailed in my vote today(Oregon). Geez it felt good.. Our family sat down together and voted as a fam.
May 6, 2008 at 6:57 pm
WTF happened to Timmeh…he’s gushing over Obama.
May 6, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Gorn, love you too..
May 6, 2008 at 6:58 pm
These talking heads shift with the wind. Just watch. If Obama wins the nomination, they will figure out a way to spin it that that is what they thought all along..
May 6, 2008 at 7:00 pm
I just called my hubby to tell him Obama had narrowed the gap. I got all emotional. He starting laughing his head off. I cry over tv commercials.. I cry at the drop of a hat; I have my whole life.. Pathetic really.
May 6, 2008 at 7:00 pm
GAG ACK BARF!!
May 6, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Ah, muse, my sistah! I do the same!

Clinton is about to speak. Watch her spin this thing to make her look good and marginalize Obama.
May 6, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Damn, I got spammed again!

It must be the links. I don’t know what the solution to that would be.
May 6, 2008 at 7:08 pm
That slimeball Lanny Davis is already spinning it. “Indiana shows that Obama has lost a state he thought he would win. That’s why Michigan and Florida ought to be counted, and Obama was against a funded revote”.
Yeah, because the funding was coming from Hillary supporters. Great idea to have a privately funded election.
Gawd, these people are beyond belief.
May 6, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Can you believe it? 83% reporting and they still can’t call it..
May 6, 2008 at 7:10 pm
Gorn, and it’s just starting. They will spin it in ways we couldn’t even imagine.
She’s not going anywhere.
May 6, 2008 at 7:10 pm
You got that right Gorn.
May 6, 2008 at 7:10 pm
Obama margin now 171k in NC. Hil up 42k in IN. Net gain for Obama now up 129k and growing.
May 6, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Obama margin now 180k in NC, Hil 40k in IN, 140k net for Obama.
Sorry Hil, this is going the wrong direction for all of your arguments.
May 6, 2008 at 7:25 pm
What’s so interesting is that the entire 8 years of the Clinton administration, Illinois was Hillary’s state since she was raised here. Then when she decided to run for senator she was a New Yorker, even though she’d never lived there before, and then in Pennsylvania we found out she was born there. I’ll give her the Arkansas and the Illinois but the NY and PA are a stretch. But for them to act like the Indiana market didn’t spend all those years hearing about how Hillary was a local is BS.
May 6, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Plus Gary, a black big city hasn’t been counted yet.
May 6, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Lanny Mealymouth Davis:
“Why couldn’t Barack Obama close the deal tonight in Indiana?”
Kind of reminds me of the knight in Monty Python’s Holy Grail who kept fighting even after his legs and arms were cut off. “Come back here! It’s just a flesh wound!”
May 6, 2008 at 7:29 pm
NY isn’t a stretch because the president can go to any state they choose to live once they live office and they are automatic residents and can run for office wherever they like. It’s a perk of the job.
May 6, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Gorn, LMAO! That rocked!
May 6, 2008 at 7:34 pm
I agree MJ, the biggest stretch is the denial that she was considered an Illinois girl during the entire Clinton administration.
May 6, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Hey, it’s what they do…it sounds good so say it.
Looks like the whole gas tax thing was really a bad choice for her.
She made so many bad choices. Let’s see what her speech is like…if she will continue to make bad choices.
May 6, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Jesus, this woman and her followers are delusional. Amazing.
May 6, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Obama’s net popular vote gain so far tonight: 160k. Still growing.
May 6, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Ah…Obama out spent them, that’s why!!
May 6, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Oh. My. God.
I can’t believe how she started this speech.. Doesn’t she have a tv set..? She is acting like she broke Obama’s back and she just took over the lead!!
Basic message.. Send. Me. The. Money…
May 6, 2008 at 7:43 pm
They haven’t even CALLED Indiana yet..
May 6, 2008 at 7:43 pm
“Obama said Indiana would be the tiebreaker. Now it’s full speed ahead all the way to the White House!”
May 6, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Gorn, I believe in psychological terms, its called “magical thinking”.
May 6, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I guess so. I can see Hil standing by the cauldron…
“Round about the caldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot!
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble. ”
*cackle*
May 6, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I’m being sarcastic..
Lots of years of psycho therapy with one of my kiddos…
May 6, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Hillary, “Show me the money.”
May 6, 2008 at 7:53 pm
She’s not going to concede if she loses Indiana. That’s why she’s speaking now so she doesn’t have to speak later.
May 6, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Risky move, but chances are she’ll win it. Would be a hilarious if she didn’t.
May 6, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Obama’s net popular vote gain so far tonight: 170k. Still growing.

May 6, 2008 at 8:06 pm
They’re talking now that Obama might agree to pay off Hillary’s debt. Well I won’t be donating any more money to him if he does.
May 6, 2008 at 8:09 pm
F*** this Lanny Davis guy.
“Obama is not able to connect with working class voters.”
Excuse me, hasn’t he won just about every single major city? Isn’t that where the working class live?
He loses the farmers, but they’ll be voting Republican anyway.
May 6, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Why are the Lake County votes being held back? That’s Obama country, and a big chunk of the Indiana population.

Apparently, the county where IN University is still out for the count.
This could be very interesting!
May 6, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Interesting, MJ. Currently Hil’s lead is just under 40k. If those were the only votes still outstanding, Obama would need 80% to overcome the gap (assuming 50k voters). Not too likely.
Not that he needs it to win this thing.
May 6, 2008 at 8:28 pm

Obama’s kicking butt, Hillary’s in denial, and there are possible voting games being played in a heavily black county. In short, business as usual.
May 6, 2008 at 8:44 pm
How was your test?
May 6, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Woo… Hillary’s lead just got cut in half, only 20k!
May 6, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Hey, Z!
May 6, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Whoa! Now what’s gotten into Tweety? He did a Shame On You shoutout to all the people who were involved with Limbaugh’s antics to mess with democracy and that people died for us to be able to vote and said he hoped they would take it with them for the rest of their lives.
What aliens invaded Timmeh and Tweety tonight??
May 6, 2008 at 8:46 pm
My test was easier than I thought it would be.
No more math!!
May 6, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Lots of good math news tonight!
May 6, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Are you two talking about IN?
I notice they’re only 4% apart!
May 6, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Yep, IN. Her lead is now only 2%. Going down to the wire. The remaining votes are from near Chicago, urban area, heavily Obama.
May 6, 2008 at 8:49 pm
You bet, gorn.
I’m throwing all my math notes (at least 500 pages) in the recycling bin. Joy!
Gotta walk the dog and get some food — be back in a flash.
May 6, 2008 at 8:49 pm
OMG — 2%!
May 6, 2008 at 8:54 pm
He needs about two thirds of that final county to overtake her. Possible, but not too likely. That would be just too funny, after Hil staked her campaign life on the fact that “Obama couldn’t close tonight” in Indiana.
May 6, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Obama’s net popular vote gain so far tonight: 205k. Still growing, but close to the end of the game.
May 6, 2008 at 8:58 pm
I think Mr Dean needs to have a little talk with Hillary.
May 6, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Hil didn’t happen to mention anything about her own failure to “close in NC?”
May 6, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I read Gary would be 75% Obama to 25% Clinton and Clinton has canceled all her morning show appearances.
May 6, 2008 at 9:02 pm
What kind of suspicious stuff in Lake Co, Gorn?
May 6, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Awwww, why would Hil cancel her morning shows? Could it be……sour grapes!? Reality?
May 6, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Well, the precinct count got stuck at 86% for what seemed like hours. The one county being held back was Lake County, adjacent to Chicago (Gary/Hammond). Not clear why, but strange for sure.
But then some results came in (75% for Obama) and now it’s stuck again at 91%.
May 6, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Now at 92%, margin is still 20k votes.
May 6, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Timmeh just said that Obama is the dem nominee and Clinton is done. Wow. Just wow.
May 6, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Whew. All sweaty but before I shower, I really needed to check in at CNN. Holy Toledo! or Maybe Holy Gary!
With 92% of the votes counted in Indiana, Clinton has a 2% lead. Two! Compared to 14% for Obama in N.C. She’ll bulldog this thing forever, though, unless all the contributors dry up the well.
May 6, 2008 at 9:16 pm
OMFG, what if Obama actually wins in IN? Hil has already spoken, right? Talked about her big win, right? What if she has to eat her words? She will be so done.
May 6, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Do I have to read all of these or can someone just clue me in. I just got in from a long night of fish slaughtering
May 6, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Hi, dbadass. Obama won NC, and he’s within 2% of Hil in IN.
May 6, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Read the last 20 and you’ll be good, DB.
Obama kicked ass in NC and may eek out a win in IN.
May 6, 2008 at 9:21 pm
MSNBC’s website actually says, “Hillary Clinton sounds triumphant in Indiana, but the state remains too close to call…”
This after reporting PA as a “decisive” win for Hil.

May 6, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Z, it appears they are handcounting absentees in Gary.
May 6, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Limbaugh IS gross.
May 6, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Heh. I love it, MizzJ.
Hillary must be embracing the great porcelain god right about now.

“Read the last 20 and you’ll be good, DB.”
What, and miss out on some of my very finest writing ever???
May 6, 2008 at 9:35 pm
At 95%, Hil’s lead down to 17k.
May 6, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Everyone over at BlueOregon is excited. If Clinton keeps campaigning, people will actually pay attention to the primary in Oregon for the first time. The numbers I’ve seen lately have been difficult to believe. I’m sure Obama will take the state, but I’ve seen polls with a 2:1 margin.
May 6, 2008 at 9:36 pm
16k difference in votes between Obama and Clinton now. Still 2%.
May 6, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Ever, gorn? I think you are kicking some serious ass on the “elitist” thread.
May 6, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Of course, the Mariners are down 10-1, so I can’t have a completely good day.
May 6, 2008 at 9:39 pm
You’re too kind, Zo. Didn’t think anyone would still be reading over there.
May 6, 2008 at 9:39 pm
gummitch, both of my sons are so excited to vote in the OR primary — Obama, of course.
May 6, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Are you kidding, gorn? I’m riveted by the conversation.
May 6, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Difference is now 1.5%. Woohoo…

Righto, gorn!!
MizzJ, I’ll put up a link for ya.

MizzJ,
Excuse me…who’s an elitist?

Can’t believe they’re still stuck at 95%. This is liking watching grass grow. Or chads being counted.
May 6, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Indiana official: “we are counting right now, and this should be over very shortly”.
May 6, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Good, it’s been over 24 minutes since CNN updated the site.
May 6, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Just jumped to 99% and Clinton has kept her lead of 17k, so I guess this thing is over.
May 6, 2008 at 10:10 pm
That’s a win of about 1.8% or so.
May 6, 2008 at 10:11 pm
With 95%, Clinton leads by 16k.
That’ll probably be too much to overcome with the remaining 5%, but who cares.
The THUMPING she took in NC, and the delegate difference (16 from NC?) should be the knockout blow.
Now Superduperdamn delegates, do your effing job and decide@!
May 6, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Excuse me, that’s a lead of 22k. Now THAT looks fishy to me.
In any case, Obama still picked up over 200k in popular vote margin and a good chunk of new delegates.
May 6, 2008 at 10:11 pm
They just called Clinton 51-49 with about 15k votes.
May 6, 2008 at 10:12 pm
I think we’ll begin to see prominent Dems begin to endorse Obama very soon.
Hil is toast.
May 6, 2008 at 10:12 pm
The idiot mayor of Hammond is calling it “a great victory for Hillary”. Gag.
May 6, 2008 at 10:13 pm
I wonder how much she offered these cronies to look in the camera and spew such nonsense daily.
May 6, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Hey Al Gore, how about an endorsement? Methinks it’s long overdue.
May 6, 2008 at 10:16 pm
IN is even less a “great victory” for Hil than PA was. Ridiculous.
May 6, 2008 at 10:17 pm
That’s just who I was thinking of, gorn.
May 6, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Rush gives Indiana to Clinton. She should be so proud.

Hil’s no dummy, if she looks at this realistically, she knows it’s over now.
Of course, she has tended to create her own reality lately…
May 6, 2008 at 10:25 pm
CNN reports that the deciding factor in the Indiana vote was not racial or gender, but age. Hillary had a landslide with voters o
