Super Tuesday Live Blog

The votes are coming in and as states are called for a candidate I'll update the list below. At any point during the evening you can check in and get a snapshot of where everything is at that point in time. This post will stay at the top all night.

GOP - McCain is having a good night. Huckabee much better than expected. Romney, not so much. Better hide the sharp knives at Hugh Hewitt's house.
DEM - Clinton is having a good night. Obama, not bad but no big unexpected wins.

NOTE: I hope you're watching Fox News. Brit Hume is having a lot of fun with Bill Hemmer and his fancy interactive map, and is marveling at Michael Barone's amazing knowledge of individual counties and precincts. They're really enjoying themselves in New York and it makes the evening much more fun for the viewers. Karl Rove has been a good addition along with bloggers Mary Katherine Ham from TownHall.com and Tom Bevin from RealClearPolitics.com. Even Democrat Harold Ford has been interesting in his interactions with Chris Wallace. Well done, Fox.

For the record I muted the TV when Hillary Clinton and John McCain spoke. I'm not interested in either one. I did listen to Huckabee, Romney and Obama. I thought it interesting that Barack Obama made his entrance right after McCain started speaking and the network split-screened it, though they didn't interrupt McCain's speech. (UPDATE: They broke away from McCain's speech when Obama started. I'll bet that ticks off the little martinet.)

Obama gave a stemwinder of a speech. He didn't say anything, but it was well delivered and clearly left his fans in the heights of rapture. When he says "YES WE CAN" he's very believable, whereas Romney and Huckabee simply weren't. Obama still has a chance to win - the other two don't.

UPDATE 9:14 pm PT - Brit Hume seems unusually ebbulient about calling California for McCain and Clinton. I think he wants to go home.

First Wave of GOP Exit Polls

Here's the first wave of GOP exit polls as reported by Jim Geraghty at the Campaign Spot:

I just got a big pile of exit poll data.

The early wave in California: McCain 40 percent, Romney 36 percent, Huckabee 10 percent.

Fascinating and fun as it is, I remind my readers that this doesn’t tell us that much, as we don’t know what the district-by-district breakdown is. Also, there are three million absentee votes that I’m pretty sure are not included in this. So while these numbers are nice to hear for McCain fans, I take them with even more caution, skepticism and grains of salt than usual.

Missouri: Romney 34 percent, McCain 32 percent, Huckabee 25 percent.

Winner take all. If these numbers hold - and these are early voters, the later waves may change the final a bit — it’s a big, big win for Romney.

Georgia: Huckabee 34 percent, Romney 31 percent, McCain 30 percent.

Now on to the NYC-metro-area states:

New York: McCain 46, Romney 35, Huckabee 10 percent.

New Jersey: McCain 48 percent, Romney 35, Huckabee 9 percent.

Connecticut: McCain 50 percent, Romney 32 percent, Huckabee 7 percent.

More or less what we expected.

Now the big Mitt states:

The early wave in Utah: Romney 91 percent, McCain 5 percent, Huckabee 1 percent.

I think I’m ready to call that one.

Massachusetts: Romney 54, McCain 35.

But in McCain’s home state…

Arizona: McCain 44, Romney 39, Huckabee 8.

That’s a heck of a lot closer than I had expected.

On to the South, where the numbers at this point look good for Huckabee…

Alabama: Huckabee 42 percent, McCain 33 percent, Romney 20 percent.

Tennessee: Huckabee 34, McCain 28, Romney 23.

Arkansas: Huckabee 33, McCain 21, Romney 19.

Oklahoma: McCain 34, Huckabee 32, Romney 27.

A barnburner!

Delaware: Romney 43, McCain 34, Huckabee 18.

Not a big state, but it's winner take all, so I'm sure Team Romney would take it.

Illinois: McCain 47, Romney 31, Huckabee 15.

Stay tuned.
