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.

Dude just TOOK THE LEAD. crazy.

BTW, McCain has basically won Missouri, which is winner take all as well. If McCain wins California, this nomination is over, barring a Mets like historic collapse.

some chick on FOX said that Clinton had a lot to take away from this and Obama had to have a good speech because of how disappointing today was for him.

HUH

The rest of StL city just came in. I think most of the rest of the votes are from rural counties that Hillary is going to win.

It's going to be very close.

Idiots. He overcame HUGE poll deficits in a week and came out in a dead heat. Tonight was a win for him.

Analogy fails. I'm dancing on the field (the Phils) and way ahead (the Mets).

Paul Begala is a total choad.

California going for McCain and Clinton...

Can John Zogby have his pollster's license revoked? The man is a complete and total moron.

Karl Rove is a talking head at FOX apparently. Did they ask about Scoots?

I'm no expert on Missouri politics but here's what I came up with. CNN has four counties that aren't 100% reported: Boone (city of Columbia), Jackson (Kansas City metro), Ray (Rural KC), and St Louis County. Boone had the least percent reporting: 60%. It was at 61-36 Obama. Jackson and St Louis were high-90% and were 61/62-36 Obama. Ray County was around 85% and was 66-30 for HRC, but Ray County is the smallest of the remaining counties. Not sure how many more votes are out there.

I guess it really depends on that remaining 40% from Boone County.

EDIT: Just saw meatball's post up top. Took too long on Wikipedia figuring out where Ray County Missouri was.
