Late update

Hillary and McCain take California. It's still early, so the vote and delegate spread is still way up in the air, but the races have been called. Romney and Obama each won Colorado. Obama has won Alaska.

Meanwhile, Obama has pulled ahead in Missouri, where, until recently, Clinton had a huge lead. As of this writing, he has a couple-thousand point lead with 98 percent of precincts reporting, but it remains, apparently, too close to call*.

One can spin the results a hundred different ways, but no amount of spin can change the fact that Romney, in the words of a famous American, suffered a thumpin' tonight. And late word is that tomorrow will be a day of deep soul searching for that campaign.

Both Democrats, by contrast, have a lot to be happy and upset about, so check back here tomorrow for updates.

*=The networks are now tepidly calling Missouri for Obama.
