It may not have any tangible impact on the election. I don't think his supporters have overwhelming swayed to one side or the other with the exception of a place like Georgia, where Obama saw his support among white males soar to 44%. But what it would do is steal the free media coverage for a day or two. With the California results coming in so late, HRC's campaign is probably banking on the media leading with "Clinton claims California" all day long tomorrow. I think the media has been pretty balanced in it's coverage and they all have emphasized the impact of the delegates and the fact that this race is going to drag on for some time yet, but HRC would take all the free media she can get. Especially after Obama blew her away in fundraising. Edwards endorsing Obama would shift the spotlight back to the Obama campaign while HRC was trying to anoint herself as the frontrunner.

All I know is that I'm still tied with Ron Paul for least states won.

Imagine if Rush, Hannity, and Company didn't hate McCain. They'd have a field day with this tomorrow. The three cable news channels squash McCain and cut to Obama.

Might end up being recount close.

About 1/6 of StL City and County are left to count, and only 1/12 is left to count statewide. Obama is cleaning up in St. Louis County and St. Louis City.

Hillary is going to win the majority of the delegates in the state. I wonder if the same logic applies retroactively with Missouri as it did in Nevada.

We should check infowars.com to find out if Obama is the Illuminati's candidate or not.

If this were a speech contents, Obama would win 90-10. The 10 being everyone else, combined.

Dude can talk.

Is McCain's wife going to be first lady? SRSLY? She makes Hillary look soft and cuddly.

Did CNN ever call Missouri for HRC? Because now they have it as "Too Close to Call".

No. And it's going to be absurdly close.

StL County is almost all in. StL city has a bit to go. Obama can maybe expect about 4k more net votes there, which is the difference right now.
