Tsunami Tuesday Liveblogging
I'll be here from now (8:32 PM) until at least 11:00PM ET, and I may stay later depending on how crucial/close California is.
Newest posts will be at the top, so scroll down to see older things. Also, feel free to comment on this post. I'll check and answer them in the body of this post.
12:29: I'm going to bed. A good night for McCain and Obama, if TV coverage is any indication. I'm sure Gary will have thoughts tomorrow.
12:14: FoxNews is calling CA for Clinton and McCain
12:09AM: The Democratic side of this is going to go on for at least another month.
11:55: With 11% in, it's McCain 44 Romney 25 in CA; Clinton 55, Obama 32
11:51: Obama: "Our day has come."
11:47: Back. caught Barack and McCain speeches. They seem happy. Romney is making more play in the west.
11:10: They're kicking us out. I'll continue when I get back to my room. Maybe 15 minutes or so.
10:41: Big night for McCain, but also for Huckabee in the South. Not a winning night for Romney thus far.
10:26: They've run out of Dr. Pepper. That's a shame.
10:18: Obama is doing good out West. I think this contest is really only beginning between Obama and Hillary, and the longer it goes on, the better shot Barack has.
10:13: Huckabee is speaking now. I can't hear, really, but he looks happy.
10:06: Being interviewed for the student paper, The Review.
10:02: FoxNews is projecting Obama is going to win Utah.
10:00: One of my professors asked me if seeing Obama and Chelsea this week has converted me to being a Democrat. My reply: "No."
9:55: If Romney doesn't win any states besides his "home" turf, then he's done, and McCain and Huckabee are the last men standing. I stand by my prediction that the Democratic race will not be any more decided after tonight.
9:53: Clinton wins her two "home states" of New York and Arkansas. Looks like Romney will do the same If he doesn't win Utah, then he's done.
9:33: One of the Comm professors is making my point now. Excellent.
9:28: There's a lot of talk of "identity politics" - how religion, gender, race, etc. affect voters. Interesting, but I think it's dumb for blacks and women thinking they must be for Obama and Hillary, respectively. Make up your own mind.
9:26: Obama's won 4 called states to Hillary's 6 so far, but he's leading in other close states.
9:17: CNN is calling Delaware for Obama and McCain. I think his visit here (covered by yours truly) put him over the top.
9:07: The other two professors are from the Communications department, which explains why I don't know them.
9:05: Romney is only ahead in Massachusetts, all other states are being led by Huckabee (4), and McCain (the rest).
9:02: CNN and the AP are projecting that Clinton will win Massachusetts. Guess that Ted Kennedy endorsement really helped Obama.
8:50: Probably no Obama sweep in the South, as Hillary seems to be winning Arkansas and Tennessee.
8:47PM: Exit polls show a potential Obama sweep of the South.
8:46PM: FoxNews and Drudge are saying McCain wins Delaware.
8:41PM: So to give you some background, I got here "on time," and barely got a seat...in fact, I'm kind of off in a corner (for an outlet)...so I'm more horizontal to the stage. That I know, Profs. Pika, Wilson and Mycoff from the Political Science Department are here (all of whom I've had), and they're talking right now. Also, multiple TVs with CNN and FoxNews. Here's a picture from my seat:

8:36PM: Looks like Huckabee won West Virginia...he's still in it!
8:34 PM: Lots of turnout, couple hundred people...will post photos soonish.
