The long wait...

Well, they've called Tennessee and Oklahoma for Clinton, and Georgia and Illinois for Obama. No surprises there. But we're going to be waiting a while to hear about those battleground states whose polls just closed - especially Mass., Conn., Missouri, and New Jersey. These are all going to be very close.

FOr the time being, Georgia augurs well for Obama. He has increased his turnout among both blacks and whites compared to South Carolina. And, with 7% reporting, he has about an 18 point lead over Hillary. The leaked entry and exit polls we saw earlier suggested something like 75% for Obama, which would be very good for him, but 18% would still be pretty, pretty good. In the words of Larry David, who has, by the way, endorsed Obama, with or without his activist wife.
