Obama wins in Vermont. A sizable victory there could offset any Clinton gains in Ohio, which is still too close to call.
Update 4: Clinton has a nice double digit lead in Ohio, with Texas now neck and neck. Most large cities have yet to report, and that’s where a lot of Obama’s base is. I think he’ll close Ohio to within 10 and win in Texas, which based on where he was in the polls a few weeks ago, seems pretty good. The press of course, is calling this a Clinton comeback.
Update 3: John McCain just said, “we are the captains of our fate” in his victory speech. I don’t know if know if Long John McCain really wants to be making voluntary pirate comparisons for the voters. Aye lads, vote for ol’ McCain and together we’ll plunder the Iranians. Argh!
Update 2: Well not only did Vermont vote for Obama, but Brattleboro Vermont voted to arrest Bush or Cheney, if they were ever to set foot there. I understand the argument against doing this kind of thing, but in a perfect world, these guys should be arrested. In a less than perfect world, there should be sane pockets of the country that at least think they should be arrested.
Update 1: Clinton is doing pretty well in Ohio, but Obama is dominating early voting in Texas. Looks really hard for Clinton to pick up any delegates at all tonight, and if Obama wins Texas, that makes her “he can’t win big states” argument a little less solid.

What’s gonna happen with the superdelegates??? Once again, FTP is my election night headquarters…

According to Tom Brokaw, Obama has 50 more superdelegates ready to endorse. I don’t think undecided superdelegates are going to endorse Clinton if Obama maintains his lead in pledged delegates and the popular vote.

I’m getting a little nervous here… also, do you think Bill Maher is funny? I think he is kind of unfunny.

Yeah, I’m nervous, too. I think his writers give him some good stuff sometimes. I think he’s a little obnoxious and conceited and not really that all-knowing.

Relax fellas. Clinton will wise up or lose everything. Either way, Dirt can’t stop Obama. Sometimes destiny plays tricks on old hands. It’s our turn now, and then yours, generationally speaking. I’m tripping President Obama is my generation.
