Supah Dupah Tuesday – Post 2: The Results (FINAL UPDATE: MO GOES TO OBAMA, ALASKA GOES TO ROMNEY, OBAMA)
**This post is the second part of my first SDT post, and will be updated throughout the evening, with the newest updates being posted at the top, rather than the bottom of the post. Please feel free to utilize today’s open thread to post about any non-Campaign 2008 related news stories, so they don’t get lost in the shuffle of posting/commenting in this thread. **
Final Update – 9:07 AM Weds.: Obama ends up winning MO over Clinton, and Alaska goes to Romney and Obama.
Update 37 – 12:14 AM: Fox just called CA for Hillary and McCain, with about 15% reporting.
Also, the polls will be closed in Alaska in about 15 minutes.
I’m wiped out and headed for the pillow. I may check in later if I’m having trouble sleeping, but somehow I doubt that will happen 
See you in a few hours to follow up on today’s events.
Update 36 – 12:03 AM: Looks like McCain will win MO, while Clinton may squeak by there as well. 96% are reporting.
Here’s how CA looks right now.
Update 35 – 11:58 PM: I had to mute Obama’s speech to his supporters in Chicago, right about the time he started promising Socialist solutions to America’s problems. Not only that, but he starting lying about the Republican candidates, taking John McCain’s “hundred years in Iraq” comment out of context, and lying about the tax breaks Republicans are talking about renewing for the American people. Obama’s speech tonight provides a reminder to anyone who thinks Obama is a candidate for “change” is deluding themselves, because he will lie just like the rest of them, and the only “change” and “reaching across the aisle” he plans on doing is reaching across to the few Republicans he’ll need to pass his liberal agenda.
Another interesting thing is that while most of the candidates gave about five minute speeches, his has gone on for close to 15 – proving that he knows if he keeps talking, he can keep mesmorizing people with his empty rhetoric while ignoring his thin political record. In fact, there are several people in the screenshot behind him who look like they’re about to faint in adoration.
Update 34 – 11:50 PM: CNN calls CO for Romney. Geraghty has a count of the states won by the Republican candidates. His post on the Dem wins is here.
Update 33 – 11:44 PM: CNN calls Idaho for Obama.
Update 32 – 11:27 PM: MSNBC has called AZ for Hillary. The St Louis vote must be coming in, now, as McCain is now slightly in the lead in a very tight race in MO.
Update 31 – 11:13 PM: Fox calls CO for Obama. CNN calls MO for Hillary. Keep your eye on CA. We likely won’t know the winner of CA tonight, they had over 3 million absentee ballots submitted by last night.
Update 30 – 11:09 PM: Fox has called Montana for Romney.
Update 29 – 11:00 PM: The CA polls close.
The Obama campaign is claiming that so far tonight they are up in the delegate count 606-534. ABC’s delegate scorecard says something different. 66% reporting.
McCain is barely edging out Huckabee in MO, while Hillary is ahead on the Dem side there, but St Louis has not reported yet.
Update 28 – 10:49 PM: Take a look at MA. Loser of the night? The Kennedy endorsement.
Update 27 – 10:42 PM: TN and GA are called for Huck, AZ is called for McCain. Looks like those bad exit polls coming out of AZ that showed McCain in trouble were just that – bad.
Update 26 – 10:38 PM: Sorry – took a little break … Fox earlier called MN for Obama, and ND for Romney. Romney is currently making a speech to a group of supporters, and is saying he will be in this this ’til the end’.
Update 25 – 10:18 PM: Fox calls CT for Obama.
Update 24 – 10:09 PM: Huckabee is speaking right now to a group of supporters. In the meantime, Fox has called AL for the Huckster. The story of the night, in addition to who wins CA, is that Mike Huckabee is the second man in this race, not Romney.
Romney has to do well in CA tonight in order to remain a viable candidate.
Update 23 – 10:04 PM: Fox calls ND for Obama.
Romney is bombing big time in the South, and coming in third just about everywhere. Huckabee is currently leading in TN, GA, MO, and AL.
Update 22 – 9:57 PM: Fox calls OK for McCain. I’m waiting for them to call GA for Huckabee. UT has been called for Obama and Romney.
Update 21 – 9:40 PM: Fox calls KS for Obama.
Ok, I’m taking my own little poll here at the ST blog: Tell me how you pronouce Missouri. Do you say “Missoura” or do you say “Missouree”? Rove and Wallace, and Carl Cameron have been calling it “Missoura.” I’ve always called it “Missouree.”
Update 20 – 9:28 PM: Fox just called AL for Obama.
Hotline On Call has the exits from Arizona, where the race is tight for both parties.
Update 19 – 9:18 PM: Fox is calling NY for McCain.
Update 18 – 9:11 PM: Fox is calling NJ for Hillary. Huckabee, IMO, is on his way to winning in GA. So far, this has not been a great night for Romney.
Update 17 – 9:01 PM: CNN is calling NY for Hillary. Huge.
Fox is calling DE for Obama.
Update 16 – 8:52 PM: Fox just called MA for Hillary. I think she’ll take NJ as well.
Update 15 – 8:45 PM: Polls close in 15 minutes in AZ and NY, and the caucus doors “close” In MN, MT (GOP), ND, and NM (Dem). Huckabee is making a strong showing in GA, and is in the lead right now with 25% reporting (ahead of McCain by about 9K votes).
Update 14 – 8:36 PM: Fox calls DE for McCain.
Here are more exits from Geraghty, which includes a surprising tie between Romney and McCain … in Arizona.
Update 13 – 8:30 PM: Polls close in Arkansas. Fox is calling the state already for Hillary and Huck.
Update 12 – 8:13 PM: MSNBC has retracted their call for OK to go to Hillary. Interesting.
Here’s a reminder as to which SDT states are winner take all.
Update 11 – 8:02 PM: Fox, other nets, call several states: NJ, IL, CT for McCain. AL for Huck. MA for Romney. TN and OK for Hillary and IL for Obama.
Update 10 – 8:00 PM: Polls close in the 9 states I mentioned earlier. Huckabee is in the lead in GA with 2% reporting.
Update 9 – 7:50 PM: Geraghty explains how GA’s delegates are divvied up.
Update 8 – 7:40 PM: I swear, this marathon blogging almost makes me wish I drank coffee 
20 minutes til polls close in the following states: AL, CT, DE, IL, MA, MS, NJ, OK, TN. That’s when we’re really going to see what the night will shape up to be like for the candidates.
Update 7 – 7:26 PM: Votes are starting to trickle in from GA. Keep refreshing that page for updates.
Update 6 – 7:23 PM: A victory for voter ID in GA, via WMGT:
Today’s election is the first true test of Georgia’s voter ID law requiring photo identification at the polls.
This is actually the fourth contest since the law was approved by a federal judge in September. But it’s the first statewide vote under the new rules.
Opponents of the photo ID requirement argue that the law could disenfranchise the poor and elderly. They believe the rush to polls of what’s expected to be more than a million voters could offer a chance to prove their point.
For state election officials who insist they’ve done their best to publicize the new requirements, the election is the best opportunity to show they’ve made good on the promise.
The argument has also been that voter ID laws had the ‘potential’ to disenfranchise the black vote. Doesn’t look like that happened.
Update 5 – 7:05 PM: Check and refresh the CNN results page for vote numbers as they come in from GA. Check this site, too. Major Garrett on Fox is reporting that the Clinton camp is now “very worried” about NJ, where they thought they were going to do well but apparently have gotten some inside info that it’s going to be tighter than they thought it would be.
Update 4 – 7:00 PM: Fox News and CNN both are projecting Obama will the primary in GA, where polls just closed.
Update 3 – 6:49 PM: Bad night for Hillary ahead? Drudge posts exit numbers:
Alabama: Obama 60, Clinton 37… Arizona: Obama 51, Clinton 45… Connecticut: Obama 53, Clinton 45… Delaware: Obama 56, Clinton 42… Georgia: Obama 75, Clinton 26… Illinois: Obama 70, Clinton 30… Massachusetts: Obama 50, Clinton 48… Missouri: Obama 50, Clinton 46… New Jersey: Obama 53, Clinton 47…
Here’s more, via MyDD.
Geraghty’s got tons of numbers on Republican exits (h/t: Memeorandum), and ends his post with a statement I echo:
I can’t believe I have to write this, but if you’re in a state that votes today and you haven’t yet, go out and vote. Don’t let some report on a blog discourage you from exercising a right that our forefathers fought and died for.
10 minutes til the polls close in GA.
Update 2 – 6:38 PM: Drudge has an unlinked headline that reads “Obama large in some exit polls.” I heard this on Fox News a few minutes ago, too, but they said they were still crunching the numbers and that Obama’s presence in the exit polls may be overstated.
Update 1 – 6:30 PM: 30 minutes til the close of polls in Georgia, a state which is expected to go for Obama (a la South Carolina), due primarly to the high percentage of black voters, and a state where Mike Huckabee has been competitive.

I really hope B. Hussein is making sure his back is protected. People who cross Bill and Hill have a tendency to, well, you know.
Just a bit of fun….
ELECTION RESULTS:
When you rearrange the letters:
LIES – LET’S RECOUNT
Clintons will not go down easily or without a fight, one way or another. This is Hillarys only chance at the Presidentcy…how easy or nice do you think she will play if that is really in jepeordy?
As for McCain / Huckabee / Romney, it does seem to be a 2 vs one now, with Huckabee attacking Romney for McCain it seems. Does that leave McCain to take the ‘high’ road?
I voted for Romney at 6:40pm here in southern NJ. I was voter #55 on the GOP side; that’s about normal for a primary here. On the Dems side, there were at #88 at the time, which is about a third higher than usual.
I did expect a higher turnout than usual because of really good weather – near 60 today – and the novelty of finally getting a meaningful presidential primary here after voting in June all those years. That doesn’t seem to have affected the GOP side…and maybe the increase in the Dem side is all the Obamamania kicking in.
Nah, it is some back room deal that these two have entered into. Both McCain and Huckabee know that Huckabee will syphon votes from Romney, and with all of those “independants” voting for McCain, John should be a shoe in. Now the only question that begs to be asked is, what sort of reward does Mike get for his collusion?? Veep?? Cabinet post? Ambassadorship to say Martinque?? or Bahamas?? Only time will tell. – Lorica
Mizzoree.
I’ve always wondered why the tourism commission didn’t use the slogan I sent them: “Missouri loves company.”
Ah, well. I was noticing today that African-American turnout in my precinct was greater than I’d ever seen it since I moved here in 1999. I did not see anyone getting turned away for not having valid ID, either.
Um, my precinct in Georgia, SW of Atlanta. Not in Missouri.
I will say this, if McCain wins the nomination, and Obama is Democrats Nominee…then the Presidency will be for Obama anda Democrat will be in the Whitehouse again.
I do not think McCain is electable, whether against HIllary or Obama, I truly dont think he can win.
Call it a case of sour grapes, but we had a chance at someone really good as a Nominee – and we get rid of hte good ones and keep…McCain and Huckabee?!?!
I really dont think Conservative values are really what people are interested in anymore if this is our choices now.
I agree with sanity. I will vote for McCain if he wins the nomination, but I think that he has zero chance of winning the Presidency.
If Obama gets the Democrat nomination, no contest. Empty-headed beauties always clobber sour old goats. If Hilly the Hun wins (a far more likely scenario, IMO), she and the MSM will bury McCain in a tsunami of mud.
So far it looks like a pretty good night for the Hun. But we will know for sure after California.
For the life of me I cannot understand the vehement opposition to voter ID. I have to have a photo ID to drive a car, I have to show one to buy Sudafed for crying out loud, but for something that is really important, that is the cornerstone of democracy, that is the duty fo every citizen, you just waltz up and say “Hi, I’m Joe Schmuck here to vote!” and it’s cool?
The only reason at all that I can see to oppose voter ID is because one has a vested interest in vote fraud. Stupid hysterical shrieks about minorities, the poor, the elderly, cute little puppy dogs with big eyes notwithstanding, why is it in anyone’s interest that we can vote without verifying eligability? Do these opponents have a clue how venal and corrupt they sound? They sound as convincing as the guy trying to get free legal advice at a party from a lawyer, with the stories about “A friend of mine is in this situation…”
Hey Sista,
Great job. You are stronger than I am. I couldn’t watch all of it. I have been checking in and out. Had to watch the new “House.” I just can’t get excited about this. It is too depressing.
So we will have Clinton v. old war hero RINO part II. Didn’t like the original and we know how sequels usually turn out.
And for the life of me, I cannot understand how people think McAmnesty can beat Clinton or Obama. Old gragity fat white white guy v. the first woman or the first black.
Will McAmnesty finally jump to the Dem party or at least become totally irrelevant in Rep party. He will lose the “maverick” support from the MSM. But will he fade away or become a sour grapes loud mouth in the cheap seats trying to ruin it for everyone else.
Let me know how it turns out…
I say Mizzouree, too. I also call it Looeezeeanna, no matter how many others think it’s cool to call it Loozeeanna.
Still more primaries to go, Folks. This only clinches things if one of the candidates drops out.
*hint hint Huckster!*
The fact that McCain is the frontrunner, if because Dem’s and Independents have been able to vote in many of our primaries. They know McCain can’t get the support from Conservatives, making it more likely to get a Hillary or Obama presidency.
And to answer Steve’s question, the reason the Dem’s are so against voter id’s, is because they have traditionally and consistently used voter intimidation and fraud to get and remain in power.
I, personally, won’t support McCain, but I will vote for him, because we have got to stop Hillary or Obama.
“I, personally, won’t support McCain, but I will vote for him, because we have got to stop Hillary or Obama.”
And this is why we keep getting lousy Rep candiddates. The Rep establishment, liberal wing counts on the right holding their nose and voting. And we do. And can’t figure out why we get lousy candidates.
Think about Blacks and the Dems. Schools stink, blacks vote Dem, schools stink, blacks vote dem, and on and on, Why? We say it’s stupid and then do the EXACT same thing in supporting people like Mccain.
If we hold our nose and support McAmnesty, the next “establishment” candidate will be even worse.
Sanity, I am thinking that fear is to blame. People are afraid of getting another Clinton admin, fully aware that it will be far worse than the 1st. So out of fear they are believing what the MSM is saying about John’s electability. Plus, I believe there is more than alittle manipulation on the part of Dems and Independants to get John the nomination, fully aware that the MSM is going to turn on him like a pack of wild dogs. There is absolutely NO interest in the MSM to get another “Republican” elected to the presidency. If John gets the nomination, I will consider all lost. I know it sounds like I am sinking into despair, and I just might be, as I am running out of hope fast. – Lorica
The MSM does not want a conservative, so the pump up McCain. Run their phony polls showing his “electability”. The MSM will turn on him as Lorica says. And Jumping Johnny will wonder what happened. His poll numbers will fall and his “electability” will go away. And once agian, Rep will wonder what happened, the estabishment blu bloods will says he wasn’t moderate enough, had to move to the right to please those in bred conservatives, etc etc.
Have to stop, too early in the A.M. to start drinking..
.
Applause! Bravo!
Would this fit under Ronald Reagan’s defination of insanity?? Doing the samething over and over and over and expecting different results??? Why would we want to fall into this trap?? God Bless you Ronaldus, we definately miss you now. – Lorica
Applause! Bravo!
