Obama Beats McCain in 4 More Key States

McCain is really in for a spanking. Here are the results from new polls in 4 key battleground states:

COLORADO: Obama 49 - McCain 44
MICHIGAN: Obama 48 - McCain 42
MINNESOTA: Obama 54 - McCain 37
WISCONSIN: Obama 52 - McCain 39

Also, Obama leads by a whopping 9-21% with independent voters:

COLORADO: 51 – 39 percent among independent voters;
MICHIGAN: 46 – 38 percent among independents;
MINNESOTA: 54 – 33 percent with independents;
WISCONSIN: 50 – 37 percent with independents.

Ambinder says:
[T]he make-up and mood of the 2008 presidential electorate is right now perfectly trimmed to embrace Barack Obama. As Quinnipiac puts it, "[a]n emerging Democratic coalition of women, minorities and younger voters is propelling Illinois Sen. Barack Obama to leads."

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 :)
