cnn has just called virgina for Obama with in seconds of the exit polling being closed

My new favorite phrase: "Obama is projected to win [state] by a substantial margin."

[demostrat]

Amen George! Amen!!!!!!!

Game! Set! Match!

So this is where things stand:

Clinton is now forced to win Ohio and Texas on March 4th by significant margins. If she fails to do that, she will fall behind in the pledged delegates permanently. If that happens then the only way she can win is by hoping that super delegates reverse the decision of the voters and in doing so, reject the brightest star that the Democratic party has seen since JFK.

Let's go for the knock out blow now. Keep the momentum in Hawaii and in Wisconsin. Then let's win Texas and win Ohio.

THREE WEEKS from today we could be watching the Clinton concession speech. Yes, it is in sight.

The Clinton spin for these contests should be interesting, given how dominating Obama really was in all demographics. So far, the strategy seems to be to ignore them and hope the country didn't notice they took place.

You guys, this is go-time. Obama is trailing in Ohio and Texas. We've got to step it up!! We could END THIS RACE on March 4th. You read that? THIS RACE WILL BE OVER if we win Wisconsin on the 19th, Texas and Ohio on the 4th.

[JM from Cincinnati]

Folks, I sense a lot of enthusiam here in Cincinnati for Barack. If Hillary thinks she's gonna come through here and win Ohio handily, then she'll be in for a rude awakening. Obama will win Ohio.

Todd, the Idea of this campaign being decided in just a few weeks gives me goosebumps. I hope it unfolds as well as this.

JM I really wan't to believe you. Do you have any solid non-anecdotal evidence to back up your prediction? Please note this isn't a challenge but genuine interest. Thanks.

I've been looking for information on what Obama's chances are in states like Texas and Ohio. I came across this interesting read written by Phillip Martin at burntorangereport.com/. It explains how Obama can win Texas.
