ELECTION ‘08: Louisiana is being called for Obama

CNN and MSNBC are calling Louisiana for Obama. I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty shocked at this. I thought for sure (despite polling) that Clinton would pull out a win in this state.

The numbers so far:

President – Dem Primary
1349 of 3966 Precincts Reporting – 34%
  Name Party Votes Vote %  
  Obama, Barack Dem 60,276 54%  
  Clinton, Hillary Dem 42,752 38%  
  Edwards, John Dem 4,802 4%  
  Biden, Joe Dem 2,056 2%  
  Richardson, Bill Dem 1,378 1%  
  Dodd, Chris Dem 663 1%  
  Kucinich, Dennis Dem 484 0%  

UPDATE: The final numbers out of Louisiana for Obama are huge. If he wins the nomination, Democrats take Louisiana!

3966 of 3966 Precincts Reporting – 100%

  Name Party Votes Vote %  
Obama, Barack Dem 220,588 57%  
  Clinton, Hillary Dem 136,959 36%  
  Edwards, John Dem 13,034 3%  
  Biden, Joe Dem 6,179 2%  
  Richardson, Bill Dem 4,258 1%  
  Dodd, Chris Dem 1,925 1%  
  Kucinich, Dennis Dem 1,405 0%
