well it's nearing closing time for the polls. i know it's still way to early to decide either way, but i'm curious to hear again some predictions... who do you guys think it's going to end up being?

Hmm, I'm really thinking Obama and McCain.

Not what I'd hope for, but that's my prediction.

If it could be my little dream world, it'd be Gravel and Paul, if only then because either way, we'd see some progressive thought in the White House instead of complacent, outmoded thought that we've had for years now.

I haven't been following REALLY closely, but I wouldn't mind Obama as the president.

That being said, they are talking about this WAY too much on tv. I mean, come on, enough of the opinions (NBC), just show the results on the bottom of the screen, and for crying out loud, its 10:14 and LAW AND ORDER STILL HASNT STARTED, IF IT'S EVEN ON! (hyperventilates)

It was mentioned on TV yesterday that Clinton and Obama will mostly like stay in until March or April. Tonight doesn't seem like it will be a factor for either candidate right now.

good to hear that since you didn't get to vote! I'm also for Obama and will be extremely upset if he doesn't win. However, it's looking very good for him so far. Unfortunately, I have to wait until April since I'm in PA....should be very exciting until then though!

My gosh, I just looked at the percentages, holy cow, this is close! Obama appears to have a few states in hand on Hilary but not much, and McCain, Huckabee, and Romney are all really close. No clear winner of the day in my opinion.

If Romney does not do well in Cali, I have a feeling he will drop. That will leave McCain and Huckabee (nobody cares about Paul). If Huckabee wins the nomination, the Dems win in November.

As said above, the Dems will most likely not be settled today...we will have to wait.

An Obama/McCain general would be epic. Really awesome.
