Alameda Country in California still has no precincts reporting. |
|
Population: 1.5 million
Largest City: Oakland
Obama held his biggest rallies in the state in Oakland
Just sayin'....keep watching.

All Alameda Co. polls were open until 10 due to the ballot crisis. This was especially a problem around the Berkeley campus. That explains the lateness of the numbers trickling in.

CNN exit poll did not poll the black vote. It read N/A.

10. 14.9% African American in Alameda County |
|
Not huge. Alameda County is arguably the most liberal county in the state (tied with SF and Marin) and possibly in the top 5 liberal in the country.

7. Alameda County 51% (sorry it's 35% actually) reporting 9k margin to Clinton |
|
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 02:09 AM by CreekDog
Not as slam dunk as you think.
So far only Marin and SF counties give Obama a lead and it is not that big of a lead. Clinton's got the state, but Obama actually will end up with as many delegates (probably) because of the screwy way delegates are apportioned here.

13. CNN (sorry 35% reporting) |
|
Alameda updated 26 minutes ago Clinton 48,164 50% 35% reporting Obama 40,006 41% Edwards 7,007 7%
(at this rate, the margin might be around 24,000 votes in Alameda)

16. Now I am going to ask the stupid question of the night |
|
how can CNN have data that the SOS site does not? Here is a link to Alameda http://vote.ss.ca.gov/Returns/pres/dem/01.htmThey are not giving you state data... so where are they getting it from?

19. This has happened often during the primaries this year |
|
Official sites have been behind while news outlets have more up-to-date info. It's happening now in NM too.

it's on the county's website: http://www.acgov.org/rov/current_election/index.htmthe state website has been lagging the county's. it's true that the votes counted probably are dominated by early votes already tabulated though.

12. Once again Alameda has YET to report |
|
are your numbers coming from CNN, who is also wrongly reporting on Obama's vote, higher in fact than it is right now
(And that is making me go hmm)

17. Looks like the AP/NPR site is ahead |
|
Official site says at the top:
County Status 26.4% ( 6103 of 23109 ) precincts reporting as of Feb 5, 2008, at 10:56 p.m.
This is actually older data than what the AP and CNN have. Not uncommon in this race.

counties report totals to the state, state posts them with all the other counties.
if the state is lagging, cnn checks with the county instead of the state.
i supported obama, but i see nothing wrong with this. there are lots of Hillary supporters around these parts. most men I knew voted for Obama, but most women I know voted for Hillary and more women vote than men. Furthermore, older women, Hillary's strongest demographic, vote early and ALWAYS ALWAYS vote and those votes are the ones we are seeing completely counted so far. and Alameda county is not just Oakland and Berkeley but stretches out to far flung suburbs and exurbs.

http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/demmap/index.htmlRefresh and click on any county. This seems to have the most up to date information.

20. And I am telling you that is wrong |
|
http://vote.ss.ca.gov/Returns/pres/dem/59.htm#RacesCheck the SOS site, he does not have 37% (at least not yet... which makes me wonder, what the hell do they know that the SOS site is not reporting?)

27. Alameda County is tied now, with 56% reporting |
|
Obama will end up leading in the county probably, but maybe not by a huge margin.
