Suggestion: Create one topic (e.g., Super Tuesday Results), instead of separate postings for each one. Or create two: GOP & Dem.

CNN is calling it for Obama too. No big surprise though.

Delegate count? Nobody gives a shit who wins individual states.

CNN says the Democratic exit poll was 63% women! That's huge. I would think it's an advantage for Clinton, but I guess not.

sez Drudge? ! Every news and polling organization in the hemisphere had that one ready to go - just waiting for the doors to close.

MSNBC says Obama got 43% of the white vote in Goergia ,which is way up frmo previous states, and this in the deep south no less. This shows momentum may be building for him.

To add to 13: It's a running total. There are 103 delegates available in GA.

the GOP results are pretty interesting - mccain, romney, and huckabee each winning a few states....

@13: Georgia has 87 delegates tied to the primary. I think those 12 are pledged superdelegates (from the 16 total).

They keep showing Hillary voting in New York, but I haven't seen Obama. I heard she voted for herself, and he is flying home to Illinois to vote 'present'.

I was looking through the results page at the Seattle Times. How easy is it to get on the presidential ballot in Arizona? Most states have between 3 and 10 candidates listed. In Arizona, there are 24 presidential candidates for each party.

CNN is saying 39% of the white vote, which is still pretty good.

I love the bizarro results, like Clinton getting 1% of the voters who said they would only be satisfied if Obama wins the nomination.

BA, Bama is among the 9 states where polls will close in 20 mins. Also, a tornado just tore through Ark/Tenn while people were still voting.

obama can carry the south in the gen? is that what this is saying? a good liberal christian black man can carry the south?

Massive turnout.

Many young people voting.

And very few unpatriotic Repubs bothering to betray America by voting for the GOP sacrificial lambs.
