Imagine being here in Washington, if you don't caucus your vote doesn't count. But be sure and vote in our meaningless primary too! Even my republican mother asked me "why do you guys put up with that crap?"
I had no answer.

Clancy, I've been reading that the woman who replaced Blackwell is great and working hard to get the process working again. But she's got her work cut out for her.

I just read that Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) won't START reporting their results until around 4:30am because they kept the polls open later there. I know that the Buckeye State's electoral system has suffered from years of neglect and malfeasance at the hands of the GOP, and is only now recovering . . . but surely that can't be the only reason their voting system is so screwed up.

I hope they get it squared away by the general.

Keep in mind as well that he was really behind here until very recently.

I'm seeing Houston with only 2% reporting and Obama is leading 62 to 48 percent. If that spread holds, he'll make up a lot of ground as we keep reporting in.

I notice that Obama has started to turn the tide in Texas as some of the Dallas precincts are finally starting to report.

I guess it's time to put all my eggs in the Texas basket. That's a pretty big basket, you know.

Damn about Ohio, but not a surprise. She worked hard there. Congrats to her team in Ohio.

Clancy, I hear glue is great for a Fineman ass itch. Put it to good use.

lol, Clancus. It's not too late to start back up.

Besides, this is a great place for snark. Surely we don't have to stop the snark after the primary?

addy, I can't take the anticipation! The uncertainty! I can easily accept Hillary as the winner, even though I voted for Barack.

Yeah, Eve, I've been laughing at how well Hucks. Tells me that there is a big chunk of the base that doesn't like McGrampy. Expect to see him swing to the right, while the party works hard to get those people to toe the McCain line.

Good point Bucky. I hope you will all join me in the wedding planning insanity. More chaos to share!

My this is agonizing. I wish it weren't raining so hard, I'd go for a walk just to force myself away from the computer & tube.

Damn. Ohio just called for Hillary. It looks like I picked the wrong night to quit sniffing glue.

Oh, Addy Hussein, if it's not one thing it's another. I figure we'll still hav you whining and moaning around here for some time to come.

At least I hope so.

A Clintonista speaks:

Don't cry for me California.....the truth is I never left you. Through all my wild days, my mad existence , I kept my promise...don't keep your distance.

Yeah, looks like a rout for her in Ohio. I'm a little surprised at the point spread. But she's been doing her work in Ohio for some time.

Texas is a tie right now, but the big cities are just now starting to report in Houston, Austin, Dallas, Ft. Worth. And is winning by wide margins there so far, so he may still pull out a solid win. Most of the rural counties are in, and Hilary did really well percentage wise, but winning 65 percent of 285 votes isn't the same as winning 50 percent of the big urban population centers.

But eve, it being over would mean you wouldn't have me whining and moaning here for another month or so. Are you saying that wouldn't be worth it? Darn.

What does it say about McCain that Huckabee is getting about 35% of the vote in Texas and almost that much in Ohio?

Yes, NTimes. Tried the Secretary of State Page, but not loading right on my computer. Maybe too much traffic.

I'm beside myself. I was hoping it would be over, but it seems Hillary may win big in Ohio.

I'm looking at the NYT page, you Eve?

Corpus is Nueces County (Clinton Ahead 65 to 33 with 33% reporting). Can't imagine that figure will dramatically change.

San Antonio is Bexar County (only 4% reporting but Clinton leads 54/45)

Bucky, I see the counties with no Democrats voting.

::rubbing hands together::

Ohhhhh, my first acolyte. Chocolate is yours, AHMcS.

Only in power for a few moments and already the people are being bought off follwing me!

so far -- Dallas County is 65% for Obama. He leads in Tarrant County (Ft. Worth), too.

Which counties, Bucky?

Put me in charge of your chocolate cartel and I am your willing acolyte.

Corpus Christi seems to be going for Clinton in a big way, which tells me she is going to sweep up the Latino vote. San Antonio is just starting to report in, but she's leading there as well but by a smaller margin.

I think this is going to be close here.

And I'm highly corruptible, Addy Hussein.

Eve:

Was everyone playing nice-nice?

Are you glad you went?

Do you feel empowered?

More Texas voting trivia -- three counties in the Panhandle have reported 100% of the Dem votes. Which was easy to count because there weren't any dem votes. Not a single one.

I need to move there. I could completely own the Dem political machine!

The power will be mine!

I don't know who won. There were at least 400 people there and I just stayed for the sign up and vote for a candidate part. We wrote our name and address and who we supported on a list.

It was obvious that it was more people than they expected. Instead of checking each person's voter stamp that we voted in the Democratic primary they decided just to check it against the voter list later.

For a sucky speaker he sure gets the votes. I wouldn't underestimate him. I sure won't now. I thought he was a dead issue when this all started.

You know what they say ... as goes Glasscock ...

And for those of you following the hard-fought and nail-biting dem race in Glasscock County, Texas, the final results are in with all 19 Dem votes counted. Clinton wins with 11 votes or 58%!!!

I want to know all, Eve. Who won the caucus?

McCain is a major league sucky speaker. Oy.

I went to my caucus!!! Hundreds showed up.

As one guy at my table was making jokes about republicans, one couple said "we're republicans and there are others here, too".

If he does, I don't want to know. ewwww

I think he (Fineman) is an ass too. I wonder if he makes himself itch?

Feinman makes my a** itch.

sorry, saw it in a movie.

Clancy, I remember reading some rumors about defections from the Clinton campaign if she doesn't win big tonight. We'll see. Money seems to be moving to Obama.

Stop it Clancy!!! Nahahahahahah I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

Please let it be over?

Fineman on MSNBC a few minutes ago: Some inside Clinton camp say Ohio is not enough. She may want to continue after tonight if she doesn't win Texas, but many of her campaign people may not.

I will if you'll work on my family. My mom is cracking, which amazes me. She had a big argument with her ex about there being more terrorists now then before our Iraq invasion. She thinks it just makes sense that there are. Now if I can convince her McCain is all war all the time, we might be able to move her.

Can I put you to work of some -- well all -- of my family A. Hussein?

Mixed marriages can work. But as you know, my nagging abilities can be quite high. He will vote as I tell him to....er, advise him to.

Hey Addy! Was wondering when you were going to show up. A mixed marriage huh? Those can be difficult.
