Election 2008 Obama Politics The Clintons

Too Close to Call…

Drudge has it too close to call with the exits showing a 52-48 win for Hillary Clinton.

Others seem less optimistic noting the high turnout of seniors and women. Marc Ambinder quotes an Obama advisor pointing out that based on the current exit polls, Obama improved his performance in all demographic groups over his Ohio loss.

Mark Halperin points out that Obama’s statement from earlier today:

…I don’t try and pretend that I enjoy getting only 45 percent and that’s a moral victory. You’ve lost the state.

A 52-48 showing will significantly strengthen Obama’s strategic position in the Democratic race – and will probably cause a good number of superdelegates to endorse him.  Anything better would lead to a stampede.
