Semi Super Tuesday Election Results Thread

So far Obama & McCain have won Vermont. McCain Ohio.

Predictions? Rants? Hail Marys?

I'm guessing that Clinton will win Ohio by around 5-10%. Texas could go either way. Probably Clinton will win the primary and Obama will win the caucus, which may give Clinton a small win in total.

My guess is clinton will win both Ohio and Texas.

Let's Hope Obama pulls out both Texas and Ohio so we can move forward without contesting whether or not he is the front runner

Did you see the resolution Vermont passed to have Bush and Cheney arrested?

Thin mountain air and little-known psychological effects of Lyme disease. Gotta love 'em, though.

Obama is showing as winning Vermont and has the lead in Texas.

Interesting. It appears Obama is getting his ass handed to him in Ohio, but he'll probably win in Vermont. Texas is still anyone's game if you ask me.

I still have a strange feeling Hillary will pull it off in the end, and that's too bad.

I'm rooting for several local Republicans. Shelly Sekula-Gibbs for Congress; Charles Bacarisse for County Judge, and John Davis for state representative.

I had to vote in the Republican primary. I'm saving my voting receipt, which says "REP" on it, so I can freak out people.

Ouch! Ohio hates Obama!

At least that's how it looks right now.

Guess that just reinforces my ideas about Ohio.

I am tryingto stay awake until the results come in and since it is so early and only 1% or so in, I'm gonna stop calling it.

It's very interesting seeing what happens though.

HUCKABUMP CONCEDES!

Clinton was just projected the winner in RH.

Gosh, what a terrible result in Ohio so far! It beats even the very worst expectations. Let's hope that it's only the "given" Clinton precincts that have reported so far, and that the numbers will change as they get to the bigger cities.

If my experience voting absentee in Ohio is any indication, I can say that 80% of the folk who were there when I voted early were staunch Obama supporters. (Based on paraphernalia I saw and conversation I heard... nothing truly scientific.)

But Clinton, in my opinion, did do a better job of campaigning in Ohio in recent days. She did a bus tour of ALL 88 counties, and whereas Obama spoke in a working-class suburb on Cleveland's west side, Hilary spoke on Cleveland's east side, the hub of Ohio Jewish voters, who many speculate have a bone to pick with Obama after this latest Farrakhan debacle.

my guess is a mccain win for the gop, an obama win for the dems, and a ron paul third party bid after he secures his congressional seat tonight. then you'll have nader taking from dems, ron paul taking from the gop, and the first black president in the us.

Texas is still very close, though Obama still has a lead as of 9:30 pm EST. However, MSNBC was doing some delegate calculations which showed that Hillary Clinton could presumably win the popular vote in Texas, but because of the allocation of delegates by state legislative districts plus the additional caucus, Obama could actually come out ahead in delegates.

As for Ohio, I give Hillary credit for actually campaigning across the entire state, and it looks like it will pay off for her tonight. Had she done some of this in the caucus states prior to Super Tuesday and in Maryland, Virginia and Wisconsin, she would probably be leading right now and would be looking to sew up the Democratic nomination tonight. As it is, she is fighting for her political life and trying to derail Obama's nomination.
