Wisconsin/Hawaii (and WA) Results Thread (with graphs!)

As usual, I'll post the link to the spreadsheet in a response to my tip jar.

9:24 AM ET: OK, so Obama wins Hawaii easily, which is what most people expected.  Since the Hawaii Dem Party has their numbers broken down by CD, I calculated that Obama would in 14 of Hawaii's 20 delegates, with at-large delegates breaking 3-1 for Obama, PLEOs breaking 2-1 for Obama, CD1 delegates going 4-2 and CD2 delegates going 5-2.  This makes Obama +21 for the night so far with 5 delegates left in Wisconsin, with estimations that those will go 3-2 for Clinton, so we're looking at an overall +20 night for Obama.

His pledged delegate lead now stands at +161 and his total delegate lead stands at +85.3.  With Hawaii's results, Obama now has broken 10 million votes, even without Florida and Michigan, and, at least on my spreadsheet, takes a majority the non-FL/MI vote (thought it's only by about 15,000, so there is some margin of error there)

Wisconsin polls close at 9PM Eastern time tonight and is an open primary.

Hawaii holds a closed caucus, with caucuses starting at 7 to 7:30pm.  Hawaii Time.  That translates into Midnight to 12:30am Eastern time, so we'll be here a while.

Also, Washington has a primary which is more important to the GOP, but I'll probably post some of Dem results from there.

Anyway...to the graphs!

Yes, that's right. Obama has 1/2 a delegate.  You can thank Democrat Abraod superdelegates having 1/2 vote for that.

      ...for the second time in 10 days.

      Caucused for him a week ago last Saturday.  Now I get to vote for him in the Washington state beauty contest.

      Nyah-nyah, I get to vote for him twice.

  •  Hey, FleetAdmiralJ ... A suggestion:

    If you rearrange the colors on the bar graphs such that the order is blue, red, orange, Clinton and Obama would appear on opposite sides of the bar. The almost meaningless red would be in the middle.

    This makes it easier to read off each candidate's percentage (without having to do a mental subtraction).

    Secondarily, it would then also help to label the x axis like the yard lines of a football field. -- Zero at each end and 50 in the middle.

    by sjbob on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 07:42:35 PM PDT

    •  I've thought about that

      maybe i'll do it next week. just means that results will be listed clinton unallocated obama in that order in the spreadsheet.

•  My phonebanking anecdotes

  Wisconsinites are tired of calls and have already formed their opinions about this election. They are friendly about it though.

  Hawaiians are very positive on Obama, but say things like this:

  "Oh, I'm not going to be on the island on Tuesday. Thanks though."

  "I heard it may rain on Tuesday."

  "What's a caucus?"

  "My husband and I are going to the city for dinner on Tuesday. We really won't have time."

  "I love Obama!" (Great! Will you be caucusing?) "Oh, no. Of course not."

  by Nathaniel Ament Stone on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 05:49:12 PM PDT

•  did CBS really call it already?

  I read this on another thread, but nothing on their website. If they did, that's pretty irresponsible of them (even if they're right).

    the Republican race, but neither has called the Dems.

        it's WAY more than 2004. I think at least double. Probably more than that.

•  NBC calls it for Obama n/t

  by vawolf on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 06:17:53 PM PDT

•  Too early to call defined

  The way MSNBC has used the phrase "Too Early to Call" it means the following:

  1. One candidate, in this case, Obama, has a substantial lead in the exit polls.

  2. But.... it's not by quite enough to call it.

  3. So, to cover their asses and make sure they don't end up with egg on their face, they are waiting until they have some results in to confirm their exit polling.

  Previous examples include most notably Louisiana, which they referred to as "Too Early to Call" for a while even though Obama had a significant exit poll lead and ended out actually winnning by a bigger spread than predicted by the exit polling.

    •  Double digits

      When they call it with 2% of the vote in, it's going to be double-digits.  The exit poll would have it by 12 - that sounds about right.

  Currently up in Brown and Door county.

  That's horrible for Hillary.  Assuming Madison and Milwaukee go for Obama, the Fox Valley was one of the few population centers she really needed, to get anywhere in WI.

•  Hillary is speaking now

  any bets if she will mention WI?

  by crystal eyes on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 06:30:58 PM PDT

  •  Im sure she will

    mention how much the voters of WI matter to her, and how thankful she is for all the people that voted for her.

    NOT.

    I watched a bit of it, she just shit talks Obama likes she always does. She is one of the few people in the world that can lose 10 contests in a row and still be talking shit afterwards.

  Hillary's stump speech about to be pre-empted by Barack.

  •  The media seem to be turning on her

    This was a clear FU to her campaign, at least from MSNBC.

•  Any prediction for delegate count?

  At the end of Wisconsin, how big a gain are we looking at? +15?

  by 3ML on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 06:50:11 PM PDT

  •  well, things are breaking 2 to 1 so far

    if that continues, it'll be something like 49-25, which would be a +24 margin

    by FleetAdmiralJ on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 06:52:34 PM PDT

    •  Exit polls indicated 56-44 or so ...

      so 2-1 won't hold ... maybe + 20?

      Point is that we're currently up 130 or so ... after tonight it will be something like +150?

      That's insurmountable, especially if it's going to be neck and neck in Texas.

      by 3ML on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 06:54:43 PM PDT

  •  43-31

    If the delegates are proportional to the overall vote (and it's normally pretty close), Obama will have a net gain of 12 delegates from Wisconsin.  By my count, overall he is leading by 149 pledged delegates.

•  suggestion

  In the breaking news section you could label your times as "ET" or Eastern Time. It's a little disorienting as is to someone who is in a different time zone reading about an event happening in Central Time being reported in Eastern times. Just a peeve.

  •  Just what does "pie" mean

    in the context of blogging? Does choosing "pie" in a blog poll mean that you are metaphorically tossing a pie in the diarist's face? If so, is it just implied to be funny, or implied to be a put down? Or does pie mean that you are rewarding the diarist with a piece of tasty, delicious pie (my favorite desert!).

    Inquiring minds want to know . . .

      •  Well, thanks, I guess

        but now I'm just more confused as to exactly what "pie" means now. Does pie mean that you think the diarist is sexy and you are celebrating that sexuality?

        Or does pie mean "This is just a diary. So what? I've got more important battles to fight."?

        Or does pie mean "I read your stinkin' diary, and I don't agree." In which case, it is sort of a put down.

        A few weeks ago I tried to find "pie" in the FAQ, but obviously I was looking in the wrong place. Still, I hope someone will write a funny meta diary making a bold assertion about the proper and improper uses of pie, and we can have a nice pie fight over the true (non-mathematical) meaning of pie.

        I do so love the smell of pie in the morning. It reminds me of, of
        VICTORY !

        •  it's just an inside joke

          it basically means nothing but a throw back to the "good ol' days" i guess

          by FleetAdmiralJ on Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 08:26:00 PM PDT

      •  wow

        all this time I thought pie was just an unexplained quirk... like "pooties."

        I guess this pie fight must have taken place during one of my "dailykos downtimes" when I didn't spend much time on the site.

        And by the way, I'm sort of shocked at Kos' attitude about the ad. The ad was offensive, though sadly not more offensive than a lot of things out there.

          there is a reason for everything. Even pie!
