So, in case you didn't know, yesterday was a big day.

I spent my day standing in the very, very cold rain, outside a precinct handing out literature for this politician. She won. By a lot.

But you don't really care about that.

The Presidential race is still a race, and I don't think that anyone found out much yesterday. Obama won more states. Clinton won the big states. Their pledged delegates from yesterday are very, very close, and we won't know the final totals for a few days.

Overall... I think that it was good news for Obama. Just a week or two ago Obama was significantly behind in all but 2 or 3 states that voted yesterday, and there was significant movement in every state towards Obama, even in the states that he lost. Going forward, things look very good for Obama until Texas/Ohio (March 4th).

This thing may be going all the way to the convention.

Another thing - California and Massachusetts. Can people please stop saying that Clinton had surprising wins? Or upsets? Clinton was up by 20-30% in each of these states very recently. And that gap closed significantly.

Things should just get more and more fun.
