Calling Nevada Seems A Tad Premature Don't You Think? 52-44 Is Kinda Close

A margin that is not a great deal larger than that which was reversed when they actually counted the votes in New Hampshire.

1. Are you going to ask for a recount?

[Bicoastal]

2. No, c'mon. No one expected Obama to beat Hillary for a Blue Dog state...

...I'm glad he did as well as he did.

3. most of Clark county reported and they have all the people

Clinton is 12% ahead in Clark county, don't think there's enough people anywhere else to turn the tide

[althecat]

5. How much of clar has reported?

What happened to the casino caucuses?

[NMDemDist2]

8. check it out

10. Obama seems to be gaining 50 to 45 now.... and Clark is only 88% reported.

Edited... misread the table first time.... oops

11. read it again, 77% reporting and HRC has 54.74% to BHO 43.34%

[althecat]

12. Thanks AZDemDist6....

I haven't been able to read the NH Sos website from here at all. Kinda annoying withthe recount.

They report mighty fast in those caucuses....

[althecat]

14. What has happened in the casino caucuses. Did they go ahead?

[NMDemDist2]

15. yes, but there are only 9 of them

lots and lots of precincts in Vegas

[SallyMander]

4. How come 69% of precincts have reported for the Dems

but only 38% for the repukes? (According to CNN)

[durrrty libby]

6. 80% of the vote is in. Give it up

[althecat]

7. Give what up?

[durrrty libby]

9. The premature meme

[althecat]

13. Ah. the premature meme. Yip looks droppable on the basis of those stats.

(edit) On reflection and reeducation... Yup this meme is done :)

cheers and goodbye... I thought CNN was reporting results yet to be announced.... and then suddenly we project the result. Plus what time is it in Nevada like 4.30pm. That was what surprised me.

[onenote]

16. could you explain your NH reference?

Did the result in NH change by 8 percent after the recount? 5%? 2%

[althecat]

17. Exit polls has obama comfortably ahead 6-8 points before the count.....

During the count it settled down to roughly the final result rather quickly. This did not make a lot of sense however as in Nevada they count their votes at light speed and so the projection was in fact the result. Its just really really fast. I am used to my US elections extending into my NZ afternoons so was somewhat confused.
