Election Results

Fox News just called New Hampshire for McCain with only 12 percent of precincts reporting. Those exit polls must be pretty definitive.

It appears the Obama-Clinton race is going to be closer than most predicted this week. Obama has been built up so much that even if Hillary loses, she could still be seen as a "comeback kid" if it is close.

Update: You can follow the results here. The RCP blog has some interesting information in their election night thread.

Update 9:00: With 26 percent of precincts reporting Hillary leads Obama 40 - 34 percent. I have to agree with what Ace said:

I think the Old Gal just might win. And that would make it a good night.

Think about it: She might be standing in the way of history, and of hope itself. Not Republicans. But Hillary.

And won't that be special?

Brit Hume said the exit polls showed Hillary a close second finisher and he just asked Michael Barone whether or not, based on the numbers he was seeing, Hillary could still win. Barone said it was possible.

If Hillary does win, my best guess about the discrepancy between the exit polls and actual results would not have anything to do with polling methodology. I think the frenzy that has surrounded Obama in the media the past week would be to blame. Think about it. Would you want to admit to voting for Hillary when you could claim to have voted for the rock star? Then why not go ahead and vote for him in the privacy of the voting booth? I am sure you can imagine lots of reasons for that. Unfortunately, most of us at one time or another have, for one reason or another, voted for someone we would rather not admit to having voted for. This is going to be an interesting night.

Does this finally end the R... (Below threshold)
Alan Orfi:

Does this finally end the Romney campaign? His outlook in SC, Florida and most of the Super Tuesday states is bleak.

From a Romney 's supporter ... (Below threshold)
LoveAmerica ImmigrantL:

From a Romney 's supporter (Hugh Hewitt). Looks like he still has more delegates than McCain even after a 2nd place finish tonight. Even if he continues to be 2nd while the other top-tier candidates trade places for 1st, he still may have more delegates!
