8. As far as I can see, Boston, Cambridge, and other college town are not in.

[Mass]

10. Seems that MSNBC has called it for Clinton, but I am sure that the results will be a lot closer than

it was predicted a couple weeks ago.

12. Isn't MA the state both candidates said the popular vote winner

might lose the delegate count. The number Obama was trying to hit was at least 40%. He just slipped from 39% to 40%. Can someone confirm whether or not the state in question was MA -- where both camps acknowledged this?

13. that is correct - Hillary will win, but

the Boston precincts are not in yet, so the numbers will get a little closer.
They will get about the same out of this state, I think.

19. It's so disgusting the way everyone is knocking Kennedy's

assistance to Barack Obama. Regardless of who wins, won't the Kennedys' participation be welcome?

They said on MSNBC that the Obama camp was hoping to get to the magical 40% vote. He actually jumped there once but it has slipped back to 38%. If he maintains at 40%, the delegates he will win will be exacted what he hoped for.

And, he was polling 22% of the vote in Massachusetts before the Kennedy endorsement. How can people say the Kennedys had no influence. I call that a heck of an influence.

Additionally, here's the big one: among the exit polls, Obama is getting about 38% of the Hispanic vote, reducing Hillary's former command of about 6 to 1.

I think Ted, Caroline and Kerry helped Obama tremendously in Massachusetts.

PS the magic number for delegates is 840 - the Obama camp says they are on track.
