Early Primary Results: Democrats

As of 9:25pm

Hillary wins:
New York, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee,

Obama wins:
Illinois, Georgia, Delaware,

Analysis: Nobody is going to sweep the Democrats. What Hillary Clinton has accomplished is "hold serve" by winning New York and New Jersey. If she can take California, Super Tuesday will be a success and she can still claim the upper hand. Yeah, Hillary!

At the same time, Barack Obama has shone real strength by winning Delaware and having early leads in Connecticut and Kansas. If Obama wins in California, there's a good chance that he'll have the upper hand.

Very few of these states are close at all. Most states outside Delaware and Connecticut look like they're very solidly in one camp or the other. Hillary and Obama both look like they have a lot of home states.
