It's unfortunate that Wednesday's headlines will scream "Clinton Wins California!" or "Obama Wins California!" when in reality it looks like it's going to be a very close race with the nominating delegates likely being split equally. Depending on the distribution of the vote, it's even possible that the candidate who wins the total popular vote may not win the most nominating delegates. (Check the results from NH and NV, by the way, where despite Clinton's 'victories' Obama edged her out on delegates due his more broad support.)
