You do know that you're allowed to vote in the general election even if you don't vote in the primary, right?  I've done it every election since '96.  Voter Registration.  You're already eligible to register now since you'll be 18 by the next election.

Yeah, poor Kucinich has to settle for the consolation prize of shagging his wife. What a shame.

obama also won white people and women, so it was pretty much a crushing victory.

He won in total amount of votes, but according to CNN, he didn't get a majority support from white folks.

I do think he (Edwards) should get second place tonight because it will undermine Hillary's integrity. She was seen by many as the candidate that would land them (the democrats) a certain victory, but it turns out that things are not going to be so easy. I think when people see that she's not the juggernaut she was made out to be, they will certainly think twice before voting for her.

Well, Obama's margin over Clinton is dwindling, since with less than 1% reporting the numbers are changing quickly, but Edwards is slowly closing the gap between Clinton and him.

Obama - 58%
Clinton - 28%
Edards - 13%

0% reporting


edit: shit shit

Obama: 52%
Clinton: 28%
Edwards: 20%

13% reporting

CNN just projected Clinton to get 2nd place!!!

edit2: ahaha Gravel has 8 votes so far...... in comparison Obama has 19,000.
edit3: McCain just got supported by Flordia governor

Did anyone listen to Obama's victory speech? every speech he gives seems to get better and better.

Iowa- Won by 196 votes
New Hampshire- Lost by 7479 votes
Nevada- Lost by 582 votes
South Carolina- Won by 150,000+ votes

He didn't just win tonight, he fucking crushed Clinton.  That's the biggest margin of victory so far on either side in the primaries.  I'm starting to like his chances much more now.
