And the Winner Is...

Only 1 minute after the polls closed, MSNBC, NBC, CBS have called it for Obama. CNN hasn't yet.

What matters will be the actual breakdown of votes, especially for second place. But results after 1 minute? Seriously?

CNN has now called it for Obama and is now going through every demographic group broken down by gender and race to see who they voted for. There wasn't a gender gap among black voters who went to Obama. Among white voters, men went for Edwards and women for Clinton. As far as I can tell, Obama did reasonably well among white voters.

The infamous exit polls results.

African-Americans

Obama 81%
Clinton 17%
Edwards 1%

African-American Women

Obama 82%
Clinton 17%
Edwards 0%

Whites

Edwards 39%
Clinton 36%
Obama 24%

Just in, Obama will give his victory speak at 9pm and I'm sure it will be carried live on cable news.

And for those that are wondering, I would be commenting on Fox News coverage, but students living on-campus have not had access to Fox News for over a month. As much as I don't like Fox News or "Faux News" as I like to call them, it is ridiculous that Penn Video Network has not fixed the problem.

8:30pm Update via Dailykos,

With 55% of the vote in, Obama now has garnered more votes than John McCain did in the Republican primary. Additionally, Clinton has received more votes than Thompson (3rd place), and Edwards has received more votes than Ron Paul and GOP "front-runner" Giuliani.
