Super Tuesday Live Blog
12:40: One last bit. 13 states for Obama: Missouri, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Connecticut, Kansas, Illinois, Alabama, Delaware, Utah, North Dakota and Georgia.
12:30: I'm done for the night. Here's a quote from Andrew Sullivan: "[Obama's] speech - just so glaringly, embarrassingly, surpassingly superior to his opponent's - has a theme of national unity and an end to identity politics. He actually rebukes voting on the basis of race whereas Clinton championed her role as a woman in politics. That's the difference." Read more.
12:15: 12 states for Obama, a majority of the states voting on Super Tuesday: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Connecticut, Kansas, Illinois, Alabama, Delaware, Utah, North Dakota and Georgia.
11:55: 11 states now in the Obama camp (1/2 of the Super Tuesday States!) Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Connecticut, Kansas, Illinois, Alabama, Delaware, Utah, North Dakota and Georgia.
10:57 - 10 states now for Obama. Idaho, Minnesota, Connecticut, Kansas, Illinois, Alabama, Delaware, Utah, North Dakota and Georgia.
10:55 - Up to 9 states: Minnesota, Connecticut, Kansas, Illinois, Alabama, Delaware, Utah, North Dakota and Georgia.
10:22 - Good sign! Now 8 states! Obama has Connecticut, Kansas, Illinois, Alabama, Delaware, Utah, North Dakota and Georgia.
10:18 - Seven States! Obama has Kansas, Illinois, Alabama, Delaware, Utah, North Dakota and Georgia.
10:06 - Obama now has Illinois, Alabama, Delaware, Utah, North Dakota and Georgia.
9:54 - I love that the Clinton camp is successfully spinning that Massachusetts is a "big win" for them. The Kennedys were brought in to broaden Obama's national appeal among working class people. There wasn't much of a chance of Obama to win Mass but, there goes the Clinton camp spinning it like they triumphed over the Kennedy endorsements. I'm more than a bit melancholy right now. If Hillary ultimately triumphs in this primary, I give up. I will never care about politics again.
9:26 - Alabama is in. Obama now has Alabama, Delaware, Illinois and Georgia.
9:04 - Obama wins Delaware, adding to his wins today in Illinois, Georgia, and Indonesia :)
9:00 - Top of the hour and no more projections for Obama! Grr.
8:51 - Wolf definitely says "pre-jected" rather than "projected" (with a schwa). Just flipped to Bill Richardson pontificating. He's a got a new beard after he dropped out. Unfortunately the five-lb jowl is not working with the beard.
8:47 - Ok, so I'm biased but yawn! I wish I had something interesting to say but the last near-hour has been all about Republican theorizing.
8:33 - Is it me or does Wolf Blitzer pronounce "projected" as "pre-jected"? Tsk.
8:30 - Nothing more terribly interesting going on yet. McCain... Huckabee... yawn.
8:00 - Just got in from work. Here are the states Obama's won thus far: Illinois, Georgia, and Indonesia :)

Kansas Gov. Sebelius Endorses Obama
As was widely expected over the last few days, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius (the woman that delivered the Democratic rebuttal to Bush's State of the Union speech last night) endorsed Obama:
"I think he represents the kind of leader that we need for the future of the country," Sebelius told The Associated Press. "I think he brings the hope and optimism that we really need to restore our place in the world, as well as to bring this country together and really tackle the challenges that we have."
