Hehe... Yglesias wins for the best post of the weekend:

Back in October 2007, Clinton was beating Obama in Maine by a hilarious 47 to 10 margin, but it seems he's carried the state today, once again by a large margin. My understanding, though, is that this doesn't really count because it's a small state, much as Utah doesn't count because there aren't many Democrats there, DC doesn't count because there are too many black people, Washington doesn't count because it's a caucus, Illinois doesn't count because Obama represents it in the Senate even though Hillary was born there, Hawaii won't count because Obama was born there. I'm not sure why Delaware and Connecticut don't count, but they definitely don't.

This has definitely been a polarizing primary season on the Democrat side, at least among the blogs. Different blogs have clearly taken sides and in turn the respective followers have congregated at those blogs. dKos is pro-Obama, as well as Ezra, Yglesias, and others. TalkLeft has become a bastion of Clinton support, especially among the commenters. So that is where I hang out! :)

I think it is incredibly difficult to deny the momentum in Obama's direction. But people try. Oh well.
