I guess I did ok.
As predicted, Clinton carries slightly more delegates and popular vote...but by a very narrow margin.
Both sides spin the result as "victory". Hillary's team actually behaves as if it is all over and looks ahead to November---a good tactic. Team Clinton in full gloat mode about winning MA despite Kennedy/Kerry support for Obama.
Obama: Massachusetts was a bit of a let down--they would have liked to pull off the upset there. California was close enough--no win, but they collected some delegates. On the upside, the wins in Deleware, Missouri, and Connecticut (Hillary's turf) were a plus: In fact he won 13 states to Clinton's 9.
Next round: Louisiana and the Potomac primary (MD/VA/DC). Should be favorable to Obama, but he needs a big day.
