Incoming

Early Exits: Hillary by 31 in Kentucky; Obama by 15 in Oregon. Of course the Oregon "exits", since it's an all mail-in ballot and there are no polling booths, is actually a phone poll, which makes it another degree removed from accuracy from the ordinary exit polls, which themselves seem always to somewhat over poll for Obama.

Also just heard that that erie, one man 75,000 political draw --the photograph showing one man on the stage, and all those people watching-- was actually opened by a free concert given by The Decemberists, apparently a very popular rock band. That's fine, but no statement of that in any of the news coverage. That's a total lie by the media. (Drudge was part of that too. Disappointing).

Everybody was deceived. This from Rich Lowry:
Obama's Crowd
It's already been discussed in here, but 75k is really extraordinary. A friend of mind today said when he first saw the pictures he thought it was a gathering for the pope. (And in a way, it was.) He'll probably be getting crowds of 100k in the fall. Doesn't mean he's going to win. We've seen in his race against Hillary that crowd size isn't necessarily an indicator of votes. But what a phenomenon!

What a phenomenon is right, that how he attracted the crowd was reported nowhere.

7:40 PM
71% reporting: Clinton 65, Obama 31. --Apparently Hillary won every demographic again, including the demographics that so heavily favor Obama in Oregon. Probably won't be any meaningful numbers from Oregon before Midnight, if then.
