Obama has, at this point, won 11 states, of 22 in play. Worst-case scenario, he's already won half. If he picks up Alaska, which I suspect he will, he wins the battle of the states.

California is looking like it might head SUSA's way, so that'll be good news for Hillary. But the rest of the night is bleak. She didn't exceed expectations anywhere. She lost states she led big in just a few weeks ago. She's hurting for money. The calendar up ahead is tailor made for Obama. The momentum is there.

And hey, look at that -- Obama just took the lead in Missouri. The rest of the counties are Hillary counties, so this might still swing back her way. But wow, did the morons who called this one early at MSNBC and Politico blew this one.

Update: Never mind, Boone is out, it's a college town, and Obama leads 61-36 with only a quarter in. Obama wins Missouri.


on edit: Let's keep the big MO going! I am - I'm going here to donate!

10. Perhaps you have some counterpoints?
Or did you just stop by with your spin?

9. And Kos' opinion means??
Sorry, but I've caught some of Kos' late night postings--and retractions. The guy tend to be a bit amateurish.

12. Actually, he's quite sharp and he's spot on far more often than
not.

13. I've seen him misread news stories completely
just get the whole thing embarrassingly wrong--and then run with it. Usually an attack on Hillary.

Kos ain't ready for prime time.
