Obama does better than expected (Cali still out)

I am impressed by the number of states won by Obama. He basically won in every region with both big and small states. California does not look that great so far, but other than that I am happy with the results. Missouri, Colorado, Minnesota, southern states (Alabama and Georgia) are the most impressive. What is also striking is the large margin for Obama in many of the smaller states.

With the large margins in many states Obama could come out on top in delegates or keep it very close to offset California.

This is clearly the most interesting primary in my lifetime...

Update:

I also wanted to add a couple of things on the Republican side. One, Huckabee did incredibly well considering he has no money and is not an establishment candidate. I have mentioned this a few times, but do not underestimate Ed Rollins. He has done an excellent job for Huckabee. Second, John McCain only won 47% of Republicans in Arizona. Does this mean that Arizona could be in play even if McCain is the nominee? Look at the margins for HRC, Obama and Huckabee in their home states, they had blowouts. Saint McCain, not so much...
