Early results on CNN (IN) don't look good for Obama : 61/39

[UndertheOcean]

I know , I know , too early , but still ...

[democrattotheend]

1. Look at the map

not a single urban county is in yet, and people near Chicago are still voting.

[abbyg8r]

2. Yes, it's too early.

Obama strong districts are still voting. Those polls close at 7 p.m.EST.

[stranger_with_candy]

3. You must be kidding

with 2% reporting?

[CreekDog]

4. Indiana is to time

what Florida is to elections. :banghead:

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

15. Tell me about it.

I used to work for a company where our product's location (and thus time zone, including DST) was of utmost importance. Indiana used to really piss us off. :-)

[rocktivity]

5. Nope--if he wins NC

Anything around 40% helps Obama--because what Hillary really needs is 69% of the vote.

:headbang:

[Bensthename]

6. LOL, this early in results the numbers change fast..

[monmouth]

7. 3% does not make a loss.....not yet anyway...n/t

[aquarius dawning]

8. so far it looks like what we've seen before. Obama loses the rural counties and does well in urban

areas; although, no urban results are in yet so, maybe not...but probably. I see in Sullivan county, there's about 600 votes for Democratic candidates and about 100 votes for Republican candidates. Looks the same all over acrually. There's something to talk about.

[Guaranteed]

9. WAY too early. That's nowhere near what the final will be. nt

[aquarius dawning]

11. we can always hope.

[TexasObserver]

10. Good Lord, what possible value is it to talk about the first box reported?!

Exit polls have some value, but starting a thread for the first box reported is silly.

[bigwillq]

12. 3 percent

It's way too early right now

[adoraz]

13. these are NOT the same as exits

only rural areas are reporting.

Hillary does well there.

Exits are taken from all over to get an accurate reading.

[usregimechange]

14. None of my projected counties for Obama in yet, 0%

[nyccitizen]

16. They should NOT be reporting #s with people still voting...

People in the urban areas could tune in, see these inaccurate numbers, and be discouraged from voting.

This is wholly irresponsible. There should be a law against reporting returns before all polls have closed.

[Bensthename]

17. Obama was way ahead in TX at first..

results dont mean much this early.

[aquarius dawning]

18. I'm seeing nothing but Hillary so far. WOOOHOOO!!!!

[thevoiceofreason]

19. It's all the country couonties. Hang tight.

I remember on super Tuesday, she was killing him in Missouri until St. Louis came in - and boy howdy did they come in.

[aquarius dawning]

20. He's still losing badly in every single county reporting. What happens if he can only win in 1 or 2

counties?

[Avalon6]

23. Do you Hillary supporters not comprehend the term Population density?

[aquarius dawning]

25. Do you not understand that you can't be President if you only appeal to one demographic group?

[Avalon6]

26. Silly me, I thought we were talking about counties.

[aquarius dawning]

30. you were talking about population densities actually.

are you uncomfortable with that now?

[Dawgs]

31. Huh? He wins with men, AA's, and people under 35.

Or were you talking about Hillary?

[aquarius dawning]

32. looking at the Indiana map so far, I have to disagree with that.

He's looks to be getting beaten pretty badly in the vast majority of Indiana's counties. This is going exactly as we all knew it would go, the same as it went in ohio and Pennsylvania. He's being rejected by everyone who lives outside of the urban counties.

[livingmadness]

39. Allen county has gone Obama according to CNN n/t

[SwampG8r]

36. let me tell you a secret

his appeal to recovering republicans over 40 is solid
in the GE he is going to take votes from mccain with that demographic
no one talks about this but i have noticed it a lot (its my age group)

[Guaranteed]

27. If it's the country counties, that's actually not even high. Obama can live

with that.

[TexasLady]

21. 59-41 now

[Bleacher Creature]

22. Remind me not to read your posts at 12:01 pm on election night from Dixville Notch

When the 12 people in that town vote for McCain.

[jpertello]

24. Too early to predict

and let's do some math here. He needs 280 to close his gap to the Nom.
Pledged: 1493
Superdelegates: 252
Total: 1,745

HRC only has 1602. IN nets her what? 85? 72 primary, and 13 supers. So
1602
+ 85
______
1687

Which if she does her math right for once and realizes the number to hit is 2025, this still leaves her short by 338. Where is she going to pick up 338 delegates?


NC nets Obama 115 plus, I think, 19 supers for a total of 134. Even if he lost 2 of those, which I think he has, This brings him up to 1877. Only 148 to go to hit his mark.

[stillcool]

28. Are these exit polls or returns?

[Guaranteed]

40. And the gap will continue to close. nt

[SwampG8r]

This will be much closer soon.

[dugggy]
