Some interesting numbers from the preliminary exit polls:

According to numbers shown on Fox News, Obama holds a solid 10 point lead over Hillary on who voters think is qualified to be "commander-in-chief," 53%-43%.

We've been hearing that phrase a lot lately from Hillary, obviously, but among Mississippi voters at least her pitch doesn't seem to be working. On the other hand, that's a smaller spread than the margin of victory Obama will almost certainly emerge with tonight.

Separately, the Associated Press has an interesting finding from the exits: Obama voters appear to like Hillary better than Hillary voters like Obama. And they want him to pick Hillary as a running mate.

2. Only memo I seem to 'get' is the one that says, "Democracy doesn't count and

nor does the popular vote. Just go after the super delegates and the caucus delegates and change a few rules for me."

3. I can't believe that info re HRC as VP

I haven't heard a single Obama supporter say that'd be a good idea ...
only Clintonistas who know she needs the Obama voters to stay in line
in order to win.
