CAMPAIGN NEWS UPDATES

Posted in:

* 11:19 pm - Clinton may have egg on her face. Obama appears to have won Missouri.

* 10:41 pm - AP calls Missouri for Clinton. That’s a big win for her. Big. Here’s her spin…

Barack Obama outspent Hillary by $300,000 in TV ads in Missouri. He also benefited from the endorsements of high-profile surrogates across the state such as Representatives Carnahan and Clay, and Senator McCaskill, all of whom actively campaigned for him and appeared in ads on his behalf.

* 9:58 pm - I almost forgot about this thread. From Drudge…

CLINTON: AR, MA, MO, NY, NJ, OK, TN
OBAMA: AL, CT, DE, GA, ID, IL, KS, MN, ND, UT

HUCKABEE: AL, AR, GA, MO, TN
MCCAIN: AZ, CT, DE, IL, NJ, NY, OK
ROMNEY: MA, ND, UT

* 8:27 pm - Hillary Clinton claims win in New Jersey…

This weekend, Hillary Clinton’s campaign had an intensive GOTV blitz that included over 100,000 calls to voters. Exit polls showed that the Latino population in particular delivered overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton.

* 8:19 pm - Hillary Clinton is crowing about her win in Massachusetts. From a press release…

Despite the fact that Senators Ted Kennedy and John Kerry were actively supporting and campaigning for Obama, Hillary Clinton won the state.

Despite the fact that the Governor of Massachusetts endorsed Obama, Hillary Clinton won the state. Despite the fact that Obama visited Massachusetts just last night, Hillary Clinton won the state. This is a strong victory and shows that Hillary Clinton has strength in places where Barack Obama was expected to win.

* 7:08 pm - The Trib has a story about the dumbest election judges in the state.

* 7:05 pm - No surprise here, but the Tribune has already called Illinois for Obama and McCain.

* ArchPundit has some raw, unweighted exit poll rumors.

* Preliminary national exit poll results are summarized: Fox; MSNBC, TIME, ABC, CBS, CNN.

* I’ve taken some of the suggestions from this post, added a few others and put them into a specialized news feed…

* And here’s a national news feed…

  4. Just watching the numbers roll

  5. Rich, did you notice that Cook’s website isn’t posting the Iris Martinez-Rich Bradley race?

    Comment by Feldman Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 8:40 pm

  6. Not sure what to say yet.

    Comment by 47th Ward Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 8:58 pm

  7. Feldman, I don’t think there are any county precincts. It’s in the city.

    Comment by Rich Miller Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:02 pm

  8. Good point, sorry bout that.

    Comment by Feldman Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:06 pm

  9. Its looking pretty good for Iris and Ricky. His opposition spent all that money and Ricky is sitting pretty with 75% of the vote.
    The west side is the best side!
    It looks like Iris and Emil beat Mell, HDO, Madigan, Daley and the committeemen.
    I love this town.

  10. I don’t know if anyone called it that with over 80% of the vote reported in, that Anita Alvarez would be leading in the State’s Attorney race. It’s neck and neck between her and Allen. I heard all the hoo-ha about Brookins, all these big northside endorsements for Suffredin … What is up with Alvarez?

    Comment by ZC Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:12 pm

  11. Possible theories here? 1) in a race with 44% undecided until recently, and no media oxygen due to Barack, she’s the only woman in the race? 2) Is there an unusually good Latino turnout today? Cynthia Santos looks safe in as Water Commissioner.

    Comment by ZC Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:14 pm

  12. Once again Forest Gump,er I mean Claypool, proves that his endorsement is the kiss of death to a candidate.

    Comment by Bill Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:16 pm

  13. ZC,
    Cynthia is Greek, not Latino.

    Comment by Bill Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:17 pm

  14. Bill, Point, but her last name is still Santos.

    Comment by ZC Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:20 pm

  15. It looks like a pretty bad night for AFSCME. Time for another dues increase Henry!

    Comment by Bill Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:23 pm

  16. watch out, Suffredin isn’t out yet

    Comment by Feldman Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:29 pm

  17. The Machine rolls for Little Lip again.

    It’s looking good for Seals.

    The Milk Dud may pull this one off.

    And another Schocking victory looks imminent.

  18. Mass and Mo…a Hillary smackdown.

    and, perhaps women in Illinois felt the guilt of
    not voting for Hillary and so voted for Alvarez and
    maybe Martinez.

  19. AP is wrong. Missouri goes to Barack Obama.

    Comment by HappyToaster Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 11:19 pm

  20. ahhhh. the egg is just dandy with that big
    CALIFORNIA win for Hillary!!!!!!
