Clinton 53%
Obama 26%
Edwards 17%

McCain 32%
Romney 26%
Huckabee 18%
Giuliani 17%

If Hillary wins with less than 55%, this will be her second straight primary "victory" where she finishes with a lower percentage against non-competition than Obama did against an aggressive Hillary and Edwards onslaught in SC.

[MarkWarner08]

Mostly Hillsborough and Lake Counties. Not sure who that's good news for.

Aren't those areas considered Pro-Romney?

Well, Hillsborough's favoring McCain, so if it is that's terrible news for Romney.

[Sam Spade]

What is this, like 2 precincts?  It's too early to tell.

They should be pretty close to the mean average of the state I would think. Hillsborough is Tampa.

12....but still small yeah

North = Romney bias
Central = no bias
South = McCan bias

Hillsborough has a few thousands votes in but still 0% of precincts reporting.  chill with reading into it.

Well I have been down this road before. Dollars to donuts those two precincts  are the one in each county into which all the absentee ballots are dumped, so what we know are the absentee totals of those who voted prior to today in Hillsborough and Lake Counties.

Panhandle= Huckabee bias
North = Romney bias
Central = no bias
South = McCan bias

CNN has the following numbers:

Clinton - 58%
Obama - 21%
Edwards - 17%

McCain - 29%
Romney - 28%
Giuliani - 18%
Huckabee - 18%

But this is also with <1% reporting.

[J. J.]

Intrade has McCain as a 70-30 favorite.  looks like it's over.

Sell McCain, it's overpriced.

can you drop the Intrade God complex?  it's very annoying

No, "When J. J. posts, people listen."

Romney +191

[Daniel Adams]

On the Democratic side, Mike Gravel has once again managed to be dead last, behind withdrawn candidates Biden, Dodd, Kucinich, and Richardson.

[Sam Spade]

Romney should lead early, if he does.  McCain will eat into it as the night goes on.

Why...what counties do you see being counted first and why would they go for Mitt?

[Bacon King]

Dollars to donuts those two precincts  are the one in each county into which all the absentee ballots are dumped

Bingo. I'm guessing that's all we have so far; look at Thompson's vote totals. He's actually getting support from the early votes.

[J. J.]

Anybody have a link to the results?

[Meeker]

Edwards isn't doing as poorly as I thought he would... so far

If that's true, Rudy's screwed.

[Daniel Adams]

Anybody have a link to the results?

I'm using the Tallahassee Democrat and Orlando Sentinel. They're reporting the results pretty quickly.

[J. J.]

MSNBC is saying the panhandle is important.
