Wolf Blitzer just reported Obama won Georgia based on exit polls.
The Republicans are still beating each other up.
Let the games begin!

Huckabee is taking West Virginia.
*side note* I really enjoy elections when there isn't an incumbent. It’s just madness!
Please no repeat of 2000. please please please.

Huckabee won in the second round of voting, even though Mitt Romney led after the first round. The former Arkansas governor won with 51.5 percent to Romney’s 47.4 percent, pulling ahead after John McCain’s delegates apparently defected to his side.
The convention had to go into a second round of voting after no candidate took a clear majority the first time. Texas Rep. Ron Paul was knocked out, and Huckabee, Romney and McCain moved forward.
Paul finished fourth with 10 percent among the 1,133 participating delegates in the first round, while Romney took 41 percent and Huckabee took 33 percent. McCain, who started the day in New York City before heading to California, reached the second round with 15 percent.
But before Huckabee’s surprising turnaround in the second round, McCain delegates told FOX News they had been instructed by the campaign to throw their support to Huckabee.
McCain delegate John Vuolo said former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer approached him and other McCain supporters at the convention and told them he had spoken to McCain, and that the best thing to do was to support Huckabee in the hope that Huckabee could beat Romney in this winner-take-all state.
McCain would keep it closer but we're going to see a repeat of the midterm election. Thanks "W".
Georgia was an automatic win for Barack. He had the black vote in the bag, which is a fairly high percentage of the electorate there, and early polls showed that he was doing very well with whites too. The only other state that is more sure to go to Barack is Illinois.
True and True.
If Obama wins the nomination it will be very interesting to see how he fares in the south. Hopefully one of the first Dems. so steal a few southern states in a while.
Ohhhh Alabama is totally gonna go to Hillary.
"Alabaaaama you got the weight on your shoulders...and it's breakin' your back"
RAPE STOVE
white power?!
duuuh. Courtney is a woman.
RAPE STOVE
white power?!
I think she's more qualified, but I'll be happy as long as we don't have to deal with Mitt Romney for the next administration.
Courtney is a little confused about Hillary, we try not to give her a hard time.
I'll smother you all with my estrogen.
This year's candidates seem pretty good to me. I'd be happy with Obama, I'd be happy with Hillary, and if I could choose one Republican, it'd be McCain.
Charisma is a ridiculous reason to choose the leader of a nation. Just sayin. It's kind of like GW saying he doesn't need facts because he has gut feelings.
I'll take charisma over a Republican any day.
