I feel the Media let us all down
This was a publicity stunt for Hillary.

They should never have called California.

It's not over until the delegates are counted.

I think they knew it would come out that Obama is ahead in Delegates and States.

They needed to give Hillary the limelight.

I hope that is what it was. The alternative is pretty ugly.

1. I hope you are kidding.
MSNBC is showing delegates, and that Obama has 4 more than Hillary.
Hillary clearly won California - and it looks like a deafening BLOW OUT!

5. Not irresponsible
How is it irresponsible to call California for Hillary? She is literally blowing Obama out in California. With 30% reportiong, she leads 53% to 37%. And as far as congressional districts, she is REALLY blowing Obama out. Now that will tighten a bit, but I think it's very safe to conclude she overall won California.

11. Ok where the hell are people getting 37 from the SOS page
34.4 for barack and 54.6 for HRC

For the record those numbers have been getting tighter, but 37... not yet.

10. Even as an Obama supporter, I have to admit the media is biased in his favor
which is good for us :D...because so far the storyline I've seen is that Obama is better than expected and will have the advantage coming up.
