Obama wins Vermont. McCain, too.

Ohio is next up, at 7:30 Eastern (in 15 minutes).

NBC just called it. Not unexpected, although we're led to believe the margin will be substantial.

It's all about the delegates. Obama could pick up either 9 or 10 delegates to Clinton's 5 or 6. And, every single one matters.

McCain gets all 17 of the GOP delegates.

I'm watching MSNBC. It's just after 7 PM and I'm already over David Gregory. He doesn't seem to get the delegate math. This is going to be a painful night.

Actually, none of the commentators do. It doesn't really matter what happens if Hillary isn't able to get enough delegates to win. It just doesn't matter. The math will stop her from getting the nomination. So all of this talk about whether or not she'll win Texas or Ohio is moot. It's the delegates, stupid. But the media does love a horse race, and the fact that Hillary basically can't win isn't fun.
