You convinced me Alfred, I'm changing to ABC.

Drudge calling NJ for HRC.

(Via ABC.)

Plouffe: Clinton Debate Plan Resembles “Second-Tier Congressional Campaign”

zing

Echoing gff and Sara, the place where I caucused (near the U of M) was crazy full! There were about 200 people in line on the sidewalk in front of me and just as many behind me by the time I got to the front of the line. Apparently they ran out of ballots within a half hour of opening, so everything was on paper slips, no chance to include anything but presidential candidate preference.

Public radio was talking about traffic jams all over the metro area, people even abandoning their cars in the road to go poll.

rad!!

i mean, take the bus or walk, fules

ABC calls McCain in NY.

Also appears to be calling AL for Huckabee, though he uh has less votes right now.

Oh cause all the evangelicals came out.

cspan's feed from ap... i hate listening to the networks 'call it' one way or another, tbh

Yep, caucus in St. Paul had a huge line, maybe 10-15 minute wait to get into the building.

ha u weren't at the middle school on summit were you??

watching George Will and Cokie Roberts is like drinking warm chocolate milk.

there was definitely a big line when i was there, but i mist have timed it right, cos it moved pretty quicky

xp uh

I was at Macalester one a block away.

That was coherent.

vomit inducing?

yes -- a purgative.

The plummiest of spews.

"Lickchunder"

One of Nitzer Ebb's finest B-sides.

Meantime, Ben Domenech cries, pukes up, wonders if that plagiarizing racket might be good for him yet.

I advise everyone to stay away from The Corner tonight -- holy shit.

Are you kidding? Entertainment galore! Andy McCarthy having a meltdown is pure roffles.

He must feel really good about his choice of people to support over this past week. "GUILIANI! Uh...okay, ROMNEY! Er.."

You have to wonder if the total disaster that was the Bush administration has made people care about politics again.

obv

Yeah, I'm not wondering at all, frankly.

could just be the internets

The YouTubes?

Well, I guess one good thing had to come out of it...

Heh - watch Huck get courted by McCain for veep.

^^^ yeah I was thinking in a defend the indefensible scenario, at the very least Bush's arrogance/ ignorance will cause a massive turnout this go round.

Didn't you guys think the same last time around, though?

VOTE VOTE VOTE Americans, come on. (What time is it over there?)

Huck's Arkansas victory speech = wet towel

xpost There was record turnout last time around!

why isnt california on cnn's map of yellow states??

Corner watch update -- Lopez lamely noting "This room (ie Romney headquarters or wherever she's at) needed the Utah win." Like THAT was in doubt.

Last proper election? I can believe that, but Bush still won. xposts

Blame Karl Rove, yo.

this state by state thing is cool and all but are any networks/sites displaying a running count of total delegates?

bush had the evangelical turnout that he didnt have in 2000

xxp

Mike Huckabee: "Every person has intrinsic worth and value . . . " Blah, blah, blah.

Shut up, Mike Huckabee. Stop hurting Mitt Romney's chances.

ABC projects Obama winner in ND.

huckabee "this ol' razorback" lol

yeah, after tonight I can't see how McCain WOULDN'T court Huck as a veep nominee. Listening to conservative talk radio the last few days has been instructive -- Limbaugh, Schmitt, et al excoriating callers for their enthusiastic support for Huckabee, deaf to the fact that he'd won their hearts.

But Huckabee will be a liability in those swing states.

We'll be debating evolution in the Northeast!

SHUT UP, GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE.
