So far, the early exiting polls are showing Obama really laying the
timber to Clinton.


Maginally, but getting wins straight up.


Very interesting.


Now pretty even up - Obama got five states, Clinton has five states.


Curiously, it seems to be breaking along race lines.


This is going to be very interesting.


Yeah, the "breaking along racial lines" bit worries me. I'd rather see
it breaking much, much closer in that area. But I can't fault black
voters for going en masse for Barack Obama. He's got a lot of
charisma, he's really smart and accomplished, and he's a positive role
model for young blacks, especially taking into account his modest
beginnings.


I'll be delighted to see him in the Oval Office, as I would with
Hillary there.


I'm very happy to see Romney tanking.


And when the voters get fed up with higher taxes, "wait-your-turn"
medical care and cowardice abroad, the Republicans will take Congress
back in 2010, the White House in 2012.- Hide quoted text -

Sour grapes. If the D's waltz into office this year it's because the
public is already "fed up" with a few other things. But it ain't over
yet. Watch for third party (ies) spoiler candidates to distort the
equation. There is a history in this country of big donors shelling
out to 3rd party players that they think will draw support *away* from
the opposition. No reason to expect this year will be any different.

Anybody running for either party, and especially the few left
realistically standing, will be a *huge* improvement over what we have
had to put up with for the last hate years. Er, I meant to type eight
years. Don't know what got into me, really. :-)
