I had no idea idea some of those precincts are so tiny. Some have less than 50 votes total.

Actually, [Romney has a plurality of delegates to date](http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/), despite winning only in Wyoming.

I’m pulling for Obama, but the sports fan in me likes a horse race.

Obama and Romney are making slight gains, but there’s still a long way to go…

This will help with the results by precinct.
It does show Obama doing much better in the southwest and central part of the state.
He can still take it.
[/QUOTE]
That’s a neat map, and it seems to show that the areas around where Obama was doing the best have the least reporting in so far.
Seems to show is the important thing, since it’s a little hard to use.

I’m glad the Dem race tonight looks close…
Relieved actually. I want people vetted. And the temperature only just started getting interesting…

But as has been said, it all depends on what precincts are still out…Less than half in…

True. It’s just that the number of votes Obama has to make up in those outstanding precincts doesn’t seem to go down. (At 150 of 301 precincts reporting, Hillary’s up by 3,700, now.)

I had to click on Democratic result, and it’s slow as molasses, but neat.

163 of 301, it’s 3,400 votes.
It’s going to be a squeaker. The funny part is it’s going to be a one or two delegate difference anyways, but the “win” will mean much more…

And I am fucking tired of two dinky non-important states getting to choose the President. :mad: I so hope for a Hillary win, just for that.

Neat, though it doesn’t look like the more populated districts in the S are particularly favoring Obama.

Makes you wonder whether Hillary’s choking up actually helped her?

With races being declared “won” by single digits how can they be sure when they only have results for 55% of the state?

Romney and his magical underpants needs to show me one thing…the location of the sacred golden plates.
Then I’ll believe.
