Ah, shouldn't Obama's margin be a bit better?

The night is still young, Jimmy John....

Okay Neutered Weasel.

I am actually holding Nibbler right now...whoops he just weaseled away...

It looks like so might Obama's big win.

[Lief 🗽]

57-41 with 60% in.... hard to see him cracking 60%

moral victory for clinton.

Only if March 4th counts as a moral victory for Obama...

[Flying Dog]

Some rural black counties still not reporting.

[Alcon]

This win is not going to weasel away.

The remaining unreported counties tend to be black, but not exceptionally so - Obama will probably win them at a similar clip to what he has left, maybe a bit less.  Again, I don't know MS so hot.

Washington County, Mississippi, is the only majorly-populated county at 0% that I see.  It's also 2/3 black.

[exopolitician]

An 18pt loss is a victory for Clinton....I guess so?

[J. J.]

What is the delegate count out of MS?

I heard 20-13 Obama.

70 in

Now, does Obama even win the month?

[Democratic Hawk]

Here's hoping he can slip three points now that Jackson is pretty much all in.

Phil confirms it . There is definately a lot of lurv for Clinton among Republicans

he won Texas and probably only lost March 4th by a handful of delegates, so I'd venture to say yes

[Sam Spade]

Map of Mississippi CD's is here. Clinton has no doubt won one, in the NE, and Obama won one.

If she wins Wicker's CD, then she will probably win Taylor's CD, which is less black.  Pickering's CD looks lost - it was probably too black anyway.

If so, then it will end up Obama +6. (I'm presuming Thompson's is 5-2)

I'm not sure what TX net was, but MS was suppose to serve as a counterweight (with WY).

Congressional updates:

- Erik Fleming beat perennial candidate Shawn O'Hara for the right to lose to Thad Cochran

- In MS-01 on the Republican side, Southhaven Greg Davis was favored to win big but thus far is struggling. Former Tupelo Glenn McCullough is currently ahead with 41%, but most likely both will end up in a run-off. Regional ties are big so big swings may come as the remaining vote comes in. State Representative Steve Holland and local county official Travis Childers also are heading towards a run-off for the right to lose as the Democratic candidate

- In MS-03, again on the Republican side State Senator Charlie Ross, local county GOP chair Gregg Harper and wealthy businessman David Landrum are in a close three-way battle for the two run-off slots, currently the percentages are 33-29-26 respectively with 74% of the vote in. Looks like Joel Gill won the Democratic nod, whoever the hell that is

- Bennie Thompson easily dispatched a primary challenger 84% to 16%

Texas was +3 or +4 overall for Obama.

Erc has TX +3 Obama.  I don't see why he'd need to 'counterweight' a victory.

according to Erc's total, Obama entered tonight down 6 in March, which he should net in Mississippi.  so it'll be a draw.  and draw = Obama win at this point.

Wow, I just realized MS will have two U.S. Senate races this November. When was the last time this happened? CA in 1992?

Wyoming will also have two Senate races.

Tennessee had two in 1994

There was Ohio; I was referring to March 4.  A draw is not a win; Obama needs to shut the race down; he's failed and PA is coming up.  It's going to be a long six weeks.

[Torie]

Obama has probably won all 4 CD's but CD-1 is tight. The McCain drain hurt Clinton substantially.

[Keystone Phil]

Tennessee had two in 1994

Oh, that's right. Thanks.

[Flying Dog]

39% Clinton! You can do it!!
