Ha!
So much for Ted Kennedy.

Hear, hear AKA Smith
Ted, it serves you right.

As KO on MSNBC just pointed out
What may be more important is not that Hillary won but how much did Obama's vote percentage increase over what it was when Teddy endorsed Obama.
-
Exactly right, RMP
What's the spread? Mass has been a Clinton stronghold for ages (Hillary and Bill are "honorary residents" of Martha's Vineyard -- she drew a very large crowd there when I happened to be visiting in September, and that was long before Barack Obama was even on my RADAR). If Obama stays within a few points of Clinton, he'll have done very well. If the spread is more than 5 percentage points, I'll be a bit concerned.
Bear in mind as well, however, that Boston is a very segregated city, and that there may be a bit of a backlash-by-association going on with respect to Gov. Deval Patrick, who's gotten off to a somewhat rocky start here.

Nonesense!
Clinton was way ahead of Obama in MA for months; the Kennedy endorsement came out quite recently; Obama has not spent a lot of time in the state (yesterday's visit means nothing). Even sillier than making a big deal of Obama's "loss" is Chris Mathews blathering on MSNBC about Clinton beating "The Kennedys."

Looking at MSNBC at 20 Minutes to 10 PM
The MSNBC announcers are dissing McCain right now. They say that McCain is doing well in Democratic states on the East Coast, and the chuckle, because big, regressive Repub;ican states have yet to weigh in.
Do they see exit polls from the West, polls they are not allowed to discuss with us yet? Why are they so snotty? The shiny-haired Romney only has won Massachusetts, his own state. McCain has won more, so far. For cryin' out loud, Huckabee already has won more.
-
The spread was substantial, sad to say.
With 50% of precincts reporting, Hillary is up by 9%.
-
So far...
Looking at the NYT's tally, it looks like winning and/or leaning...
Obama: Illinois, Georgia, Alabama, Delaware, Connecticut (barely), Kansas, and Minnesota
Clinton: New York, Arkansas, Massachusetts (CrunchyFrog: 59% to 39% -- d'oh!), Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Tennessee
Seven states each, although the delegate count favors Clinton right now.
-
Teddy better look for a new job and bar
He's damned near stuck us with a sure loser candidate, the drunken sob.
I hope Mrs. Clinton can still pull it off, because to compete against John McCain who has spent 30 years on the armed forces committee, who comes across strong in ALL the big delegate states, fares well with independents AND was the only GOP candidate to be favorable to Latino immigration overhaul, it's going to take someone that can do more than cite poetry about hope and bring out Oprah and pizza.
-
A major psychological blow to Obama
Either Kennedy's nomination mattered (as all the Obamabots screeched when it happened) or it didn't. Well, it didn't. Humiliating.
-
Wait for the West!
I'm really not suprised at all by all the NE states, particularly New England ... as much as people like to spin the South as prejudiced ... prejudice is definitely alive and well in New England.
All I can say is ... California baby!!! Predicting a big suprise there ....

@Timbuktom - u r wrong
McCain is faring well in all big delegate states, won clearly there (GOP is take-all primary), and also fared well in the deep south. Fares well with independents. Fares well with Latinos. Served on the armed forces committee for 30 years, and of course has had 30 years of free press about what a great Patriot he is AND Lieberman to trot out like a dog.
He is a formidable candidate and running a featherweight like Obama against him is suicide. Obama has NO advantage on him, and probably far less. He will pick up NO voters Gore/Kerry lost , no elderly, no Latinos, no moderates and independents. Nuthin.
So he won big in Georgia and SC - odds are we'd never win them anyway. But we CAN win Missouri, Arkansas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma and Tennessee(well possibly) with Mrs. Clinton.
I hope to hell we're not stuck with the "new" naked emperor Obama with much speech and little policy, and I will blame you oh-so-educated super-liberals at least as much as Teddy and Oprah if we are. Because we will have our butts handed to us on a plate. Again.

You are as full of hot air as your feverish Obambi and his race card acts. Would that be the "prejudiced" Mass that recently elected the first black Governor? .
Perhaps the real truth is that they ARE well educated - well educated enough to know that Barrack Obama against McCain is suicide for the Dems.
I don't think by the way that CA is going to be any landslide for Obama. Latinos don't like him very much in the west (they care about the economy and jobs, not "hope and change") so he barely got 50% of the Latinos in his homestate which doesn't fare well for him in CA.
At best he'll split the delegates with HRC. At best.
Might be a good time to start deflating your Obambi balloon and lose some much-needed hot air.

It's dissapointing for sure...
I guess people really do like the war after all. No big deal. What,s another invasion. Back to the cozy bed with Bill, Hillary and whomever is invited into the bedrooms.

A hoot really!!! Senator Dinosaur Kerry and Senator Teddy Drunk must be pretty nervous about their next elections. hee hee. The best part is if she can pull off the nomination she's got lot of the heartland behind her now and all the dinosaur liberal endorsements went to Hotair Hope Obambi, so he gets tarred with them.
