I never thought I'd say this, but... Go, Hillary, Go!

Open thread.

[UPDATE by Erick:] Let me throw this into the open thread discussion. A friend of mine who is a very reputable pollster tells me that in California the major media polling firms did not do any spanish language polling. He also said that in Texas, despite the lessons they should have learned in California, the media is again not doing serious spanish language polling. With the Latino vote around 30% of the primary, Hillary could have a bigger polling advantage that we've seen, which is probably why Obama is setting the bar higher than "win" to "win with double digit lead."

[UPDATE by Ericka Andersen:] Amazing there is actually footage of John McCain in Vietnam but it’s helpful in times like these -- when Gloria Steinem is questioning his service and Liberals are downgrading the significance of his POW status as well. But the following John McCain video will touch politicos of any party or ideology, so watch and be moved:

As in all Democratic primaries, I'm rooting for injuries. In this case, that means rooting for Hillary Clinton. Can you imagine the delicious schadenfreude if the polls yet again consistently show Obama with a comfortable lead, and yet when the Democratic voters go into the booth in private, they yet again pull the lever for the white folks?

I'm rooting for Clinton *hard* in this one, folks.

Open thread.

[UPDATE]: This is what I get for opening an open thread without checking a news site first... CNN calls it for Obama. I'm still very interested to see the final margin.

[UPDATE]: It looks at this point like Obama is going to double up Clinton - a shocking 28 point lead with 95% of the precincts in. The RCP average showed this race as Obama +11 today - this again counts as a huge and stupendous polling error involving Obama, except this time in the other direction. I have no idea what it means.
