The primary waiting game

Well, the clocks are ticking down to when the polls close tonight in Vermont (7pm EST), Ohio (7.30pm), Texas (8pm, except for western El Paso, which closes an hour later), and Rhode Island (9pm). But that doesn't mean we'll know the results until much, much later. Ohio and Texas are expected to be close, meaning the news organisations won't be able to project a winner immediately. The weather in Ohio's also terrible today. And, of course, there are those devious Diebold voting machines to contend with.

But, lucky for you, you can read tomorrow's headlines today!

Mike Tomasky runs down the possible scenarios here, but concludes that the delegate math looks bad for Hillary no matter how you slice it.

Ezra Klein thinks Clinton will do well tonight, but agrees that she's unlikely to beat Obama in the long run.

Over at TNR, Michael Crowley says that what really matters is the cards Clinton and Obama play later this week.

So the race is going to continue late into the night tonight and, in all liklihood, beyond.
