I expect Clinton to win CA but
if Obama can hold it to 10 or so, he'll be in good shape.

1. I have to say, he has done very well.
He tightened it up in most places. I think CA will split close to down the middle.

2. It Will Be Days before we know
The absentee votes will be a huge factor (and they go for Clinton).

6. The absentees won't be enough to make it anything more than close.

3. I agree, for Clinton to declare any victory it should be over 10.
But they will spin a 5 pointer pretty hard. lol.

4. Obama has been surging like mad in CA.........
If Hillary does pull out CA, I think it will be because of early voting there!

10. Agree. I don't expect him to win the delegate count tonight. Latinos will not vote for him.
The margin is 21 according to NBC.

13. SUSA has been very accurate tonight, but the Field Poll is not matching them
the Field Poll has 18% undecided though.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18716086

A survey by the Field Research Corp. released Sunday showed Clinton ahead by only 2 percentage points, well within the poll's margin of error. A month ago, Clinton was ahead by 14 percentage points, and Clinton aides say they are counting on voters who cast their ballots early to carry the state for their candidate. If early voters favored Clinton, it could provide insulation against a last-minute wave of support for Obama in the state.

Perhaps most decisive: The Field Poll released Sunday showed that 18 percent of likely Democratic voters were still undecided.




If Obama can split the difference between the 2% and the 12% he is in very good shape, delegate-wise.

14. You know it's going to be closer than 10 points!
Much closer - why would you even suspect otherwise when polls last night showed Obama up by 13 points?

19. Over 40% would be good for Obama there and probably leave
him with the delegate lead overall.
