That's interesting...

Bad news for My Man Mitt.

[MarkWarner08]

With just a few thousand votes out:

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.

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

Aren't those areas considered Pro-Romney?

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

Added...

Is there a map somewhere?

A Clinton <50% win does not augur well for Feb. 5th...

[MarkWarner08]

What the hell just happened?

Looks like Lee County (Ft Myers) with a 6000 vote margin for Mitt is a big piece.Still no significant counts from the big southern 3 - Dade, Broward, Palm Beach.

Nothing still yet from Hillsborough, Duval, Pinellas (7%) or the Panhandle either.

Romney or Huckabee, will proabably win there.

Hillsbourogh, Pinellas are Tampa-St. Pete - swing areas.  Duval - Jacksonville - should be Mitt.

Panhandle is hard to figure - Military and evangelical.  Redneck Riviera.

Pensacola has a big black population, it could favor Obama by alot. Walton, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa are big tourist/retirement areas...probably favor Clinton.

I'm talking about the races that matter - the Republicans.  At least until Clinton seats the Florida delegates.

It'll take a majority vote to seat the Florida and Michigan delegates. Unless Hillary picks off some Obama and Edwards supporters, FL and MI won't be counted.  Those two states will be counted if Hillary has over 2,000 delegates, but then it won't matter...

[MarkWarner08]

The outstanding areas favor McCain... This race is over.

[MarkWarner08]

The next question: How much money will Romney spendon Feb. 5th? Will he use his remaining funds to bludgeon Grandpa McCain?

[MarkWarner08]

Obama’s argument: “Breaking… Obama and Clinton tie for delegates in Florida. 0 for Obama, 0 for Clinton.”

[MarkWarner08]

Obama’s argument: “Breaking… Obama and Clinton tie for delegates in Florida. 0 for Obama, 0 for Clinton.”

Actually, considering the amount of hype Obama had in the past week, he should have been doing a lot better.  17% is a big gap, all things considered.  This slows his Mo-bama.

Obama beat Hillary by 7% among the late-deciding voters according to CNN. That shows his mo is working.

[MarkWarner08]

I'm looking at the exit poll numbers and I see the same problems I've noticed for Obama as before - I'll put out the detailed stats in due time.

Yeah, he did poorly among Catholics, Jews, seniors, women, Latinos, blue-collar workers etc.
