Early Tuesday Muses

New Mexico Dems
Still "to close to call" this morning despite an electorate that is one-third Hispanic. CNN's exit poll say that Obama got over 40% of Hispanic votes under 60. Evidence to me that Clinton's "Latino Firewall" is breachable.

Huckabee-McCain Tag Team
The overt assistance Huckabee's campaign has give to McCain is a sure predictor. Huckabee will be McCain's Veep, heir-apparent, and link to the conservative wing of the party.

Missouri Breaks
McCain (33%), Huckabee (32%), and Romney (29%) are tied yet St. John collects all of the marbles. Such is the weirdness of winner-take-all elections.

Reproductive Organs Seems to Matter
The Gender Gap is huge. Take CNN's Georgia exit polls for example. Women were 63% of the Democratic voters and only 46% of the Republican voters. Clinton won big with white women (60% to 37%) and Obama still won the state easily.

Georgia On My Mind
Georgia is a Red State. Bush got almost 2 million votes (58%) in the 2004 election. All of the Republican candidates, all nine of them, totaled only 945,027 - not even half of Bush's vote. The Democrats combined for over 1 million votes; Obama alone got more votes than both Huckabee and McCain combined.

Aside: Such a political junkie am I, I am blowing off my regular Wednesday yoga session to study the exit polls. I'm an addict! I need help!!
