they tell us that we lost our tails

As I write this california returns are 53 Clinton, 37 Obama, 8 Edwards. Getting better as the night gets on, hopefully that trend will continue.

From here, Obama has a decided advantage. Clinton really needs to be able to portray tonight as a victory to fight Obama's advantages in the remaining big states, and she also needs a good lead in delegates. Winning California is crucial for both those things. With the way the rest of the night has gone, it would be almost impossible for either Clinton or Obama to proclaim themselves victorious - they both have nearly the same number of delegates and states. Thus: Clinton can only claim victory if she gets a large margin in CA. And, that large margin will give her a nice delegate lead to sit on.

Also, KRON4's election coverage endeared them to me forever. I absolutely love how they brought a camera into the cubicle section of their office and talked to some guy at a desk, complete with messy papers and straight up regular work pc, about the delegate count.
