The networks have called… (delegate totals in parentheses)
Clinton (845) — New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Arizona, California.
Obama (765) — Missouri, Delaware, Connecticut, Georgia, Alabama, Illinois, Kansas, Idaho, Minnesota, Utah, Colorado, and North Dakota.
2,025 delegates needed to win the Democratic Nomination.
—————
McCain (613) — Oklahoma, New York, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, California.
Huckabee (190) — Arkansas, West Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama.
Romney (269) — Utah, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Colorado.
1,191 needed to win the Republican Nomination.

1AM update:Cali’s in and it’s going to Clinton and McCain, but results come in slowly because of the paper ballots and so it’ll be a while until the exact percentages come in. One interesting thing about that election is the the amount of early/absentee voting means that Edwards has a non-insignificant 10 percent of the vote right now, pretty good for having been out of the race for a week.

10 PM: McCain takes the states that tend Democratic in the National, Obama takes the South and Clinton the Northeast. It’s a muddled election, no clear winner, and with proportional delegate appropriation there doesn’t seem like there will be a huge winner in delegate count, but California isn’t in, and the full election returns are needed to calculate who’s getting how many delegates on the democratic side.
