[David Dunham]

1. Clinton -- 15%, 5 minutes (exit polls will show Clinton by 15% over Obama)

[Skink]

2. clinton gets the popular vote by small percentage net gain in delagates for Obama....

That won' be determined for weeks however.

[bilgewaterbill]

3. Clinton. 4%. 45 minutes.

I will be putting my free trip up for sale on eBay.

[Frank Booth]

4. Does this include lodging at the Bakersfield Holiday Inn Express?

If so, I'm in for sure. Their continental breakfast rules.

[bilgewaterbill]

6. Sorry. Lodging is provided by the Airport Howard Johnson's.

You know, the one by the airport?

[Frank Booth]

9. Well, if I can get a room with a kitchenette, I still might participate.

[bilgewaterbill]

10. Hot plate and complimentary kielbasa. Oh and the ice machine is within walking distance of all rooms

[Frank Booth]

11. Done and done. Hillary by 9, called 1 1/2 hours after polls close.

Man, now you've got me worked up dreaming that I'll be in Bakersfield for Stampede Days.

5. Dead heat tie

It's also kind of dead heat in Bakersfield too.

[bilgewaterbill]

8. Whatya talkin'? Bakersfield is lovely this time of year. Oilfields in bloom....

[nolabels]

12. Watch out because with oil at $115 a barrel those oilfields might really get hot

14. I don't know. Are you a Fed?

[nolabels]

15. Yea fed up

I sure will be glad when this primary is over, it's seems like its been going on forever :argh:

[bilgewaterbill]

16. An Obama win tomorrow ends it. I don't think it will happen, though.

[nolabels]

21. It should be interesting

I think the Obama team got goaded into pouring it a little heavy in Pa. They run the risk of getting little bang out out too much buck. Kind of like a sailor at a port of call.

A state with a population of an older median age and kind of stuffy and slow to adapting new ways kind east coast establishment mindset wouldn't be something i would ever bet on (theoretically, of course):shrug:

[bilgewaterbill]

22. This year I think excitement trumps reliability.

We'll see what kind of turnout Obama can generate in PA.

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. The prize is funny

Hillary 4 points, 10:20 Pacific time

Straightstory, one of my favorite DUers lives in Bakerfield
I hope he has room!

[bilgewaterbill]

17. Obama by 1.5%, too close to call until 11pm nt

[bilgewaterbill]

18. The 1st Obama backer! Good luck.

[ecstatic]

19. I'm about to make a slight change on my announcement time prediction

[bilgewaterbill]

20. Wait 'til the actual announcement and then say that you intended to change your prediction.

You'll be able to run for office then.

[IndependentDem]

24. Clinton by 6 about 50 minutes...
