5.00pm. Missouri now being called for McCain, who leads Huckabee and Romney 33.1 per cent to 31.8 per cent and 29.3 per cent. Democratic contest still too close to call in Missouri, but Obama holds a slight lead and the trend has been favouring him for some time.
4.44pm. Fox calls Alaska for Obama. Slow progress in New Mexico.
4.36pm. Everyone now calling Arizona for Clinton.
4.25pm. Fox and ABC call Colorado for Romney.
4.23pm. CBS, Fox and ABC (though not CNN) calling McCain for California.
4.21pm. Obama has hit the lead in Missouri, 49.3 per cent to 48.7 per cent with 98 per cent reporting, after a number of outlets earlier called it for Clinton. Given that Democratic delegates are allocated proportionately, this is mostly of academic interest. Not so the state’s Republican race, a winner-takes-all contest in which McCain leads Huckabee and Romney 33.3 per cent to 32.0 per cent and 29.5 per cent, also with 98 per cent reporting. Fox and ABC are calling it for McCain, but not CNN.
4.13pm. NBC and Fox are both calling California for Clinton.
4.12pm. CBS calls Montana for Romney.
3.56pm. CNN now calling Utah for Obama: he leads 53-41 with 37 per cent reporting.
3.50pm. No significant results yet from Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego or Sacramento.
3.38pm. Clinton leads 55-33 in California with 10 per cent counted, but pronounced regional variations can presumably be expected from a state that boasts both Malibu and Compton.
3.37pm. CNN calling Minnesota for Romney.
3.32pm. Fox’s call of Utah for Obama might also have been premature (I heard it on Fox News Radio; not sure it ever appeared as called on the website). Only 13 per cent reporting and Obama leads 45-44. Presumably the Fox call was based on an exit poll.
3.29pm. Clinton leads 51-40 in Arizona with 48 per cent reporting, but nobody’s calling it.
3.25pm. Fox’s call of Tennessee for Huckabee may have been premature (they’re still saying it on Fox News Radio, but not on the website). He leads McCain 34.1 per cent to 32.4 per cent with 83 per cent of precincts reporting.
3.20pm. McCain gaining on Huckabee in Missouri: now 33-32-29, compared with 35-32-27 half an hour ago.
3.15pm. Fox calls Idaho for Obama and Missouri for Clinton.
3.15pm. Fox calls Colorado for Obama.
3.10pm. Fox says Clinton wins American Samoa, and Romney wins Montana.
3.03pm. Fox News Radio reports McCain doing better than Romney in California from absent votes, but Romney doing better in normal votes. Clinton just ahead of Obama.
3.00pm. Also not sure why nobody giving Romney North Dakota, where he leads McCain, Paul and Huckabee 36-23-21-20.
2.58pm. Not sure why nobody calling Montana for Romney: he leads McCain, Paul and Huckabee 36-24-23-17 with 89 per cent of precincts reporting.
2.53pm. Nobody calling Missouri Democratic either, but Clinton leads 53-44 with 68 per cent of precincts reporting.
2.48pm. No one is calling the Missouri Republican race: Huckabee leads McCain and Romney 35-32-27 with 66 per cent precincts reporting.
2.46pm. A couple of outlets calling Georgia for Huckabee.
2.38pm. Fox calls Arizona for McCain and Tennessee for Huckabee.
2.29pm. Fox calls Utah for Obama.
2.25pm. Minnesota being called for Obama, who seems to be picking up a lot of the smaller states. Expectations he would perform well in caucuses have apparently been confirmed, boding well for him in Colorado and Idaho.
2.21pm. Fox News Radio and CNN call Connecticut for Obama.
2.15pm. Huckabee giving a speech, and not sounding of a mind to withdraw.
2.14pm. ABC calls Kansas for Obama.
2.08pm. Fox calls Oklahoma for McCain.
2.06pm. ABC also calling Utah for Romney; no surprise of course that he should carry the Mormon state.
2.03pm. Fox News projects Obama as winner of North Dakota, giving him seven states to Clinton’s six, and Utah to Romney.
1.44pm. Romney coming third behind Huckabee in many more places than expected. Almost time to call the nomination for McCain, pending one or two larger states.
1.31pm. CNN, ABC and Fox News Radio say Obama has won Alabama, which was lineball in late polling.
1.21pm. Fox calls Alabama for Huckabee.
1.18pm. Chap on Fox News Radio says McCain has won New York.
1.09pm. Fox calls Delaware for Obama.
1.07pm. CNN calls New York for Clinton, which is no surprise.
12.55pm. Fox calls Massachusetts for Clinton.
12.54pm. Chat on Fox News Radio indicates McCain is looking very good overall.
12.50pm. Winner-takes-all Republican contest for Delaware called for McCain, which was considered likely but not certain.
12.44pm. Arkansas being called for Huckabee, who is clearly doing better than expected.
12.36pm. Tennessee also called for Clinton, which was expected.
12.35pm. CNN calls Arizona for Clinton and Huckabee. The latter would be a big surprise if accurate; polls had Clinton with only a narrow lead.
12.29pm. The Times on Democratic exit polls:
The AP survey’s findings, leaked to The Times tonight before polls closed, should be treated with caution because they have been wrong before. But the early findings showed Mr Obama winning Georgia by 74 points to 25, Alabama by 59 to 37, Illinois by 69 to 29 and Delaware by 55 to 42. He also had narrower leads, possibly within the margin of error, in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Missouri. The poll indicated Mrs Clinton was leading by seven points in New York – less than expected – and Tennessee where she had an 11 point advantage, according to the poll. In Oklahoma and Arkansas she was shown as more than 30 points ahead. In California, she is shown just ahead, by perhaps as little as three percentage points.
12.13pm. CNN is also calling Illinois for Obama and Oklahoma for Clinton on the basis of exit polling, though these of course are not winner-takes-all contests. On the Republican side, Illinois (district-level PR), Connecticut (winner takes all) and New Jersey (winner takes all) are being called for McCain, and Massachusetts (two-tier PR) for Romney. All of this is consistent with pre-poll expectations.
11.33am. Further to the previous entry: The Raw Story tells us “Geraghty’s leaks of exit poll data have not always proved accurate. For instance, his information before New Hampshire polls closed showed Senator Barack Obama defeating Senator Hillary Clinton.”
11.23am. More on exit polls from Jim Geraghty at the National Review:
The early wave in California: McCain 40 percent, Romney 36 percent, Huckabee 10 percent. Fascinating and fun as it is, I remind my readers that this doesn’t tell us that much, as we don’t know what the district-by-district breakdown is. Also, there are three million absentee votes that I’m pretty sure are not included in this. So while these numbers are nice to hear for McCain fans, I take them with even more caution, skepticism and grains of salt than usual. Missouri: Romney 34 percent, McCain 32 percent, Huckabee 25 percent. Winner take all. If these numbers hold – and these are early voters, the later waves may change the final a bit — it’s a big, big win for Romney. Georgia: Huckabee 34 percent, Romney 31 percent, McCain 30 percent. Now on to the NYC-metro-area states: New York: McCain 46, Romney 35, Huckabee 10 percent. New Jersey: McCain 48 percent, Romney 35, Huckabee 9 percent. Connecticut: McCain 50 percent, Romney 32 percent, Huckabee 7 percent. More or less what we expected. Now the big Mitt states: The early wave in Utah: Romney 91 percent, McCain 5 percent, Huckabee 1 percent. I think I’m ready to call that one. Massachusetts: Romney 54, McCain 35. But in McCain’s home state… Arizona: McCain 44, Romney 39, Huckabee 8. That’s a heck of a lot closer than I had expected. On to the South, where the numbers at this point look good for Huckabee… Alabama: Huckabee 42 percent, McCain 33 percent, Romney 20 percent. Tennessee: Huckabee 34, McCain 28, Romney 23. Arkansas: Huckabee 33, McCain 21, Romney 19. Oklahoma: McCain 34, Huckabee 32, Romney 27. A barnburner! Delaware: Romney 43, McCain 34, Huckabee 18. Not a big state, but it’s winner take all, so I’m sure Team Romney would take it. Illinois: McCain 47, Romney 31, Huckabee 15.
11.14am. Various media outlets calling Georgia for Obama purely on the basis of exit polls.
11.10am. Jason Zengerle at New Republic on exit polls:
The perils of posting these are obvious (President Kerry and all that), but the exit poll results that I’ve seen show: Obama trouncing Hillary in Georgia, Alabama, and Illinois; Hillary trouncing Obama in Arkansas and Oklahoma; Hillary with leads in New York and Tennessee; and Obama with leads in Delaware and Utah (although there’s only one wave of exit polls for Utah). Everywhere else–including Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Arizona, and California–is extremely close.
8.20am (Eastern Australian daylight time). This post will be used to cover today’s Super Tuesday developments, though I don’t promise that my coverage will be greatly timely or comprehensive. We’ll see how we go. The action will begin in earnest when polls in most of the eastern states close at 8pm US eastern time – noon eastern Australian daylight time. Polls in all-important California close three hours later. The one conspicuous exception is West Virginia, which uniquely held a state presidential convention today rather than a primary or caucuses. This has already wrapped up, resulting in Mick Huckabee securing the 18 delegates under the winner-takes-all vote. Huckabee won on the second round of voting after trailing Mitt Romney at the first by 464 votes (41 per cent) to 375 (33 per cent), with John McCain on 176 (16 per cent) and Ron Paul on 118 (10 per cent). Paul was then excluded, and at this point McCain’s supporters were reportedly instructed to throw their weight behind Huckabee to thwart Romney. This delivered victory to Huckabee with 567 (51.5 per cent) to Romney’s 521 (47.4 per cent).

Champaign glass have been out and ready for a while now and I’m already chilling the bottles (but I’m getting complains about the amount of space I’m taking up in the fridge and the time they have to stay chilled – its a real dilemma).
One theory why Clinton did not spend so much advertising money in today’s states has it that she’s keeping her powder dry for the big ones to come. One wag points out the flaw in this tactic, with two words: Rudy.Giuliani.
Ta booooooom!
Gotta love the wit and spin filtering that the web shows in this primary season, it augurs well.
Looking out the back of the bus it is becoming clearer that the loss of South Carolina on the 25 January 2008 was the turning point for the Clinton camp. If she was going to win the Democratic Party nomination that was the one she needed to win and couldn’t. Since then it has been a slide downhill that is fast becoming an avalanche.
Apart from the initial Iowa win. This is where Obama finally showed that he could take away her huge lead and trounce her.

understand the problem re Champaign glass have been out and ready for a while now
I’ve overcome my space problem by ‘leasing’ some our various neighbours refigerator space
try it
oh, the bribe is they get to see an hour tape of Romney’s most “inspiring” speech
Just came across the following youtube post – yes – its a pro Obama thing – but aside from that its rather interesting because it focussed on the differences in character of the two Democratic party candidates – and it does it using a rather interesting presentation style.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdDzvmY1XPo
davidoff 1054-thanks for that link. Moral character and integrity vs expediency and win-at-all-costs. I think that sums up the difference between Obama and Billary. It’s not all about policies.
1052
davidoff
That’s a brilliant piece of, what? Art? Rhetoric? Political Theatre? It’s impossible to classify exactly, because it’s all of them.
It sums up all that is wrong with going back to the Rovean monster machine of US politics and all that is healthy and morally courageous about Mr Obama.
Worth watching.
“Worth watching.”
I’m giving it four stars, Kirri.
Hello fellow PB’s-
Having been off line for the past week , I’ve only seen the MSM’a take on it: Obama did well, but HillBilly the frontrunner, and McCain the sure fire repug.
Having had a brief trawl here it would appear the message is not quite so clear and Obama is looking pretty good.
Thanks for the update.
Is the feeling that he really can pull off the nomination and then the election , or am I still whistling Dixie?
Evening all.
I’ve just had a bit of a squiz at the upcoming election schedule, and thought I would share some ramblings.
It seems to me that common consensus on the Democrat side is that Obama is going to clean up the next few primaries. In doing so, the delegate count will even up to the point where he might even inch ahead.
HRC, it appears, is banking all on on Texas and Ohio. A win there and she has enough credibility to continue on to the convention, and pressure shifts to Obama to pull out for ‘party unity’ and VP.
All this is on March 4. The last primary before that is February 19. Those two weeks in between will define the next few months – are Democrats talking about a vigorous primary, or about ending it all to unite behind one candidate? Will Huckabee pull out to mount the pressure, or fight until he is knocked out for good on this date? Will the really big guns come out with endorsements or sit on their hands? A dangerous time for Obama, because while a lot of people think he can run again in 4 or 8 years, nobody thinks Clinton will get another crack.
Texas is polling at 48-38% for HRC, while Ohio was polling at 45-19% – back in early December (ie completely useless now).
What will be interesting to watch is whether Obama can pull in that margin. Can he win one of the big states? Winning, of course, is purely a symbolic thing – as long as he gets within a few percent the delegates split pretty even – but it would be a huge statement.
After this date, the whispers about ‘party unity’ will start to grow louder in the face of a Republican nominee.
Parallels to The West Wing are starting to get freaky.
Apologies for comment moderation delays.
Hi Jen, welcome back to the bludger cages, and as for your question, yes he can! Well, he can if he can keep within a certain range of Clinton so that neither get past the half-way number so it comes down to the Super D’s.
Then the game gets interesting.
So far the polls show Obama as the better performer against McCain, ie he wins, whereas Clinton is either close, or loses.
The Super D’s will have to decide if HRC can win, and, I think, whether there will be enough party unity left if they endorse her. She’s losing lustre, there are a lot of serious Democrat heavies who may think re-running Hill-Billy could be toxic, and Obama smells so very fresh in comparison.
Interesting times.
Someone earlier named 3/3/08 as the possible concession date, but I can’t see Hillary pulling out before March 4.
She has a huge emotional investment in this (yes, yes, I know they all do, but all the other candidates – on both sides – have probably had significant doubts in the past year about their ability to win, whereas you get the feeling it’s only just dawning on Hillary that she might not win).
She won’t want to be looking back in old age and saying to herself “if only I’d stayed in till March 4″.
Hi KR -
interesting times indeed!
Trying to catch up on some of the links and comments it doesn’t look so good for Hillbilly: maybe like Howard there’s an It’s Time factor: even though it’s her and not Bill in the driver’s seat we’ve pretty much seen and heard it all before. And ,as you say, Obama is fresh. (Wish he’d lose the Bob The Buider thing though).
Certainly if it looks like he has more chance of defeating the Repugs than the Clintons then it must be workig in his favoiur.
Although is it truly possible that after the duisastor of the last 8 years that is Bush , that Anyone would vote for a Republican?
Apart from Glen , and thankfully he doesn’t get one.
And in very poor taste, a friend of mine asked the big question tonight.
If Obama wins, will it be called The Black House?
And if the HillBillies win, will it be called the Clampett’s Mansion?
And if McCain wins will it be called … ran out of ideas at the very thought.
Seems to me that a decision on continuing or pulling the plug may not be up to Clinton. Her campaign is apparently already struggling financially and with Obama about level on delegates and probably about to pull ahead it’s going to get even tougher for her, especially given that he’s was pulling in 2 or 3 times as much in donations as her even when he was well behind.

jen
The Clampetts is funny.
Yeah, I’ve always thought that Obama had an exceptional way of catching that disgruntlement and turning it, with his special alchemy, into a positive force. Hillary seems to somehow amplify the toxicity, never lets you forget how much she hates, and how much she means to do them over by winning the presidency. It feels like some Pro Wrestling tag team match, in one corner, the Demon Rove and Bubba SideKick versus Hill and Bill the Slayers, doing their umpteenth show, and now threatening to blow away the old timer who’s staggering up to the ring as the heir apparent.
It’s got a tacky feel to it somehow, and Obama just senses an opening for something which will totally distract everyone’s attention from that old feud.
Good luck to him.
Some of the comments on this story are real gems.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Clintons_money.html
yes Dyno , I called the 3/3/08 as the possible Hillary concession day
By then she will be under pressure to withdraw in the interests of the Party
as I’m predicting by then Obama will have won 24 of the 37 States contested
Also he would be leading by 130 to 150 in the delegates you win through Primary wins (against Hillary holding approx net 90 Superdelegates)
Obama will have the moral high ground to say pull out…unite
Also Hillary’s money will have started to dry out
Many of us big O supporters are claiming victory & getting bottles chilled to open
MF @ 1068,
It’s an interesting theory but the Clinton camp are already talking up March 4 (and beyond) as D-Day – the point being “don’t take too much notice of what happens before then”. They know they’re going to lose (nearly) all the contests between now and then, so they’re re-defining the word “success”.
I have a feeling that Hillary’s sense of entitlement is so strong that she’ll fight to the bitter end.
Mind you, if Obama can roughly “draw” Ohio+Texas, he will be on the way to the White House.
Likely to be compelling viewing, whatever happens.
Jen #1067 If McCain wins he’ll invade Iran and it will be “McCain, you’ve done it again.”
Hillarys problem Dyno with talking up March 4 (and beyond) as D-Day is
she wins 3 primarys that day & loses the next 3 in the next 2 weeks
leaving Obama then 27 to 15 on “State” wins
expect the Superdelegates to have stampeded to Obama before then
Hell Robert , that really is doomsday type scenarios !
Ron.
I can guarantee you that pretty much nobody is even THINKING of claiming victory right now. The very second the Obama campaign becomes complacent is the second he loses the nomination. There are no second chances now, at least not for him – the press have been going easy on him so far, but would take him down in a flash if a good story presented.
The Clinton fortress has been breached. It has not been overrun. It has withstood 15 years and more of attacks, it isn’t about to fold to a black senator from Illinois. Not without a fight.
This will go to the bitter end. The only time Clinton will pull out is if she is told that in terms of cold, hard numbers, Obama has the votes to win the nomination – in order to avoid prime time humiliation on convention night.
Having said that, I agree that if he has more pledged delegates at the end of the primaries, the party will unite behind him. To vote otherwise would disgust so many Democratic voters that McCain would win in an absolute landslide, especially if that lead was decisive (ie 100+ delegates). And if Democrat voters stay home, they will miss this once-in-a-generation chance to get a grand majority in Congress. The party isn’t that stupid. Then again, that’s been said before.
Someone suggested that Obama could promise to give Hillary a job on the Supreme Court to help ease her pain a little. That way he could get a Vice President with good economic credentials on his side.
codger-my response to your question is at 915 now (out of moderation).
MF- I think you are on to something there. As a discloser, my understanding of how these campaigns work financially is purely from reading “Fear and loathing on the campaign trail ‘72″ by Hunter S Thompson but the man was a genius so here goes.
Hunter set an enormous stake on the role of the people bank-rolling the campaigns. The candidates lived and died based on the money-men. And when things turned bad, they cut you loose with no qualms. It was just business. They will be watching how Billary goes tomorrow and the next week before deciding whether to invest in Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania. If they don’t like what they are seeing, it’s goodbye Billary.
(BTW I’m sure that they pulled Romney’s funds which led to his withdrawal. He clearly did not do it for any altruistic reason.)
1078 Diogenes, all this makes the Clinton Camp’s crying poor after Super Tuesday very difficult to understand. The story of her having to loan her campaign $5 Million was politically not very astute and I see they are scrambling to reverse their position with stories of money pouring in tonight. Their campaign seems muddled and lost at the moment and I get the impression that something is very, very wrong.
Max , you may be right Hillary may hold firm
but my sense is the media pressure on her due to Obama’s moral lead in the States won & the money drying up on the other hand may create ‘inevitablity’
in March
and her choice of a dignified exit in March or dragging but hurting the Party to June when Obama should be leading by 100 plus delegates will be immense
If you are right , the champers have to be drunk anyway
the 400 odd Superdelegates are the key
Diogenes BTW I’m sure that they pulled Romney’s funds which led to his withdrawal. He clearly did not do it for any altruistic reason.
No , think Romney was the exception to the rule. He still had plenty of his OWN money left but someone (perhaps his wife ! ) said statistically you cann’t win so stop wasting your money
40 million of his money spent…we could have all shared it
1081 Ron, but don’t forget Romney had stated only hours prior to withdrawing that he was pressing on regardless and he gave no indication of what changed between then and when he decided to pull out.
you are right Steve
perhaps his wife had just returned from shopping on his ‘plastic’
seriously Steve , spending $40 million of your own money on a campaign rather
makes one think of the benefits that money could otherwise have provided
will anybody take a bet?… I got lost with the shitfight that Ron started before (about bookie styles) and he ruined the original idea, I would like to place a bet with somebody, I think Mrs Clinton will win the nomination. I will put $50 on this. (ie: I’m right, I keep my $ and the person that bets against me sends Billbowe a $50)… I’m wrong then the other guy keeps his dough and I will give BB the $50…
I will also lay a bet that Mr Mcain will be the next POTUS… this I will bet $100
same rules as last bet. its a one-one type bet…
anybody?
Any inkling of what Huck’s wife is telling him?
praying for him….and for us
Proceedings, USA, which are of deep interest to me. I am confident. It will go well, Obama.
However.
Now, NOT the USA.
Shortly, my Parliament is to convene. That will be in Australia.
Momentous day, William. Hope we get a special thread.
Democratic caucuses in Maine start around 1.00pm EST (about 5.00 am out time) and run thought to about 8.00pm EST (about mid-day local time). Expectations are that this state will be a big win for Hillary although at the end of the day this is a small state in terms of delegates – 24 pledged delegates and 10 super-delegates. Polls from back in October put Clinton ahead of Obama by a massive 46/10 and more recent polls by the American Research Group place the race relatively unchanged at 41/17 for Clinton. At the other end of the spectrum the Obama team’s leaking projection sheet is suggesting a much closer contest with a Clinton win of just 2%. If this pans out it will be a battle between the entrenched older, blue-collar workers and the younger college educated demographic in the south.
A big win by Clinton in Maine will capture headline before we head into the DC-Maryland-Virgina race (12 Fed) and as such represents important media capital. On the other hand, if Obama holds the Clinton machine to a marginal win the media will call it a draw. But what if its an Obama win? That would the equivalent of a scud missile into the Clinton campaign headquarters (but I doubt this will happen). My guess is a Clinton/Obama split of around 45/30 on the basis on a large undecided vote (but I’m hoping for an upset all the same).

Interesting info on Maine polls, thanks.
As a general comment, a lot of people have been very sceptical of American presidential electoral systems, as they are a bleeding mess, some caucuses, some primaries, some open, some closed and different ways to allocate delegates to the big tent, but you know, one thing that strikes me about the Democratic race is that if it had been like the Republican’s, it would be all over red rover for Obama.
What their system has done is give the real underdog enough time to stay in the race and prove himself a potential president, and of course he’s used that opportunity and not wasted it.
I know I have a personal preference for Obama, for lots of reasons, but even if I didn’t, I’d be impressed with a system which allows the candidates to really have a shot and not be knocked out by power and money in the first round.
It’s an interesting process, eh?
Huge shakeup at the top of the Clinton Campaign team.
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/02/hillary_top_staff_being_reshuf.php
Two quick points,
1. Obama is leading with 59% precincts reporting in Maine, 57 to 42, a lead of 15 points, but only 350 votes.
2. American news sources are reporting Clinton has replaced her campaign manager with Maggie Williams. My intial thoughts are that the timing of it after the clean sweep yesterday may look desperate.
59% reporting and Obama is on 57%. The scud may have landed.
Some of Hillary’s Oz supporters are largely motivated by foreign policy concerns, there’re the anti-anti-neo-conservatives. I think the race theme is overstated in the media conservatives are claiming a racial division in the Dems to cover their own intention to race-bait Obama (Sheridan in The Oz on Saturday). Asian-Australians strongly voted for Rudd does this mean the Oz election was about race?
I can only concur with this blogger.
“HRC is in deep, deep trouble. If she loses maine, she loses MD, VA, and DC. Add that to yesterday ( losing in NE, WA, LA and even the virgin islands) and that will be EIGHT straight losses.”
If she loses Maine and shuffles the deckchairs on the campaign on the same day, it’s bye, bye Billary.
I just tried to look a little more in detail at the results and noticed that none of the counties at CNN are showing any results reporting at all. Seems a mystery to me how they’ve come about the current results. I doubt very much they’ll stay that way.
Wow. Surely Hillary would only fire her campaign director at what seems to be the worst point in time from a PR perspective to seek to head off some sort of internal breakdown of command/confidence???
Al @ 1092 – It probably only looks desperate because umm..it is!
NYTimes has Obama killing it with 59% counted, 57/42
Hill-Billy are sliding, and anytime soon we can expect Hillary to turn into the frightening Alien monster and come out ripping off heads and salivating copious quantities of slimy saliva.
Where’s the popcorn, the circus is about to turn into a horror movie!
Still trying to work out how this works (God, where’s Adam when we need him). It’s a real-time map of votes in Maine from various sources.
