MSNBC calls it for Obama!

Thu Jan 03, 2008 at 06:32:24 PM PDT

Just saw Chris Matthews make the announcement and now they are talking about America being ready for a black man before a woman.  A bit premature analysis at this point, but that's where they are going with it.
I'll probably take this diary down soon as more people report this on the front page.

Just to extend this a bit, it will be important to see what the final margin is.  As of now, Obama is at 36.3% - a 6 point lead over 2nd place Edwards.  If this lead grows anymore, I'd say that's a pretty significant win in a 3-person race.  This may really affect the story line going into NH and Obama looks pretty strong.

What a fascinating night.
