I’m intrigued that both nomination contests could go to the convention, since each party has about 20% of its delegates that are “unpledged,” not determined by the primaries, so if nobody drops out, it seems quite possible that no candidate in either party will win enough votes to be nominated in the primaries, although the Republicans have some winner take all states left to come, but I think only three.

JD (a11194) — 2/5/2008 @ 10:10 pmDems:
Missouri: 100% reporting
Obama 405,284 49.40% (30 Delegates)

New Mexico: 92% reporting
Obama 63,011 48.64% (12)
Clinton 62,493 48.24% (13)
I don’t understand this one… Must be a stray, previously declared Del or something

JD (75f5c3) — 2/6/2008 @ 6:31 amVery depressing. With a 60+ Democrat Senators in the next congress, either Hillary or McCain will race to throw open the borders to illegal immigrants (oops, I mean oppressed citizens with rights to the fruits of your labor)and the Republican/Conservative movement will become a permanent minority.
Perfect Sense (b6ec8c) — 2/6/2008 @ 6:49 amGiants over Patriots by 3.
Kevin (4890ef) — 2/6/2008 @ 7:02 amActually, once enough illegals have made it in, they might act like the environmentalists who rush into the wide open spaces and then turn around and try to keep their new homes clean. Once they are in and have taken over, they are liable to become more “closed-borders” than the people who are here now. After all, they will have seen what happens when one throws open the borders.
Sabba Hillel (b3a959) — 2/6/2008 @ 8:49 amThat’s awfully big might. Considering the condition of Central American countries, I wouldn’t count on it.
