Feb. 9th primaries & caucuses--Dem. results thread

Hillary says some people can't tell a difference between her and Bush - I would like to let her know that we do see a difference. She's evil and divisive, and he's just stupid and divisive.

Washington, 65.8% reporting, 67.3% Obama to 31.6% Clinton

[John Dibble]

Washington with 70.3% reporting, 67.2% for Obama and 31.6% for Clinton

[John Dibble]

I knew it, the Clinton campaign has already spun that "he was expected to win there by large margins, he spent more money in these places than us...so we dont care."

in other words...you lost big and you couldnt afford to campaign there. Interesting....

Considering the number of robocalls Alcon got I would say she campaigned there enough.

[John Dibble]

What will be the impacts if Clinton gets shut out tonight (very likely), gets shut out Tuesday (likely), and gets shut out on February 19?  How will that affect the March 4 states of Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont?

She'd have to be shut out tomorrow, too. But I think it will look interesting.

It partially depends on how well she spins things with the expectations game, but it would mean a serious loss of momentum. Superdelegates would possibly refrain from endorsing her, and it would cut into her leads in Texas and Ohio due to the momentum being on Obama's side.

DAMN YOU DOUGLAS COUNTY!!

Worry not, I will personally have Douglas County fenced off and used as a lawless, free-range prison for criminals and political dissidents once I successfully take over this pathetic ball of dirt. Of course, I'll try to remember to remove those who voted for Obama before I wall the county off.

[John Dibble]

Washington with 79.3% in, 72.35% for Obama and 31.5% for Clinton

Louisiana with 7% in, 54% Obama and 35% Clinton

[John Dibble]

Well, looks like we're going to have two states with 2-1 margins of victory for Obama and another which looks like Obama will win but we don't know the margin yet.

[John Dibble]

Washington with 86.7% in, 67.63% Obama and 31.1% Clinton

[John Dibble]

Louisiana 18% reporting, 53% Obama to 37% Clinton

[John Dibble]

[John Dibble]

Washington 87.8% in, 67.35% Obama and 31.4% Clinton

Louisiana 32% in, 53% MObama to 39% Billary

[John Dibble]

What I have to wonder is how exactly Hillary is going to be able to spin three losses tonight, two of them with her losing by over 30%.

[John Dibble]

LA w/ 34% in, 53% Obama and 38% Clinton

[John Dibble]

She started pre-spin earlier today before the voting even happened.

Pre-spin won't do much - I doubt her spin before the results took into account a beating this bad.

[John Dibble]

LA w/ 34% in, 53% Obama and 38% Clinton

36% now, same percentages

[John Dibble]

[John Dibble]

Louisiana 38% in, 53% Obama to 39% Clinton

40%, 53% to 38%

44%, 54% to 38%

[John Dibble]

Louisiana 38% in, 53% Obama to 39% Clinton

40%, 53% to 38%

44%, 54% to 38%

48%, 53% to 38%

I'm going to stop reporting on LA for a while unless I see a real change in the percentages.

Obama: "The name of my cousin Dick Cheney won't be on the ballot [next November]. [cheers and applause] That was pretty embarrassing when that came out. [cheers and applause] When they do these genealogical surveys, you want to be related to somebody cool."

I love this guy.

What are you watching him on?
