Voting in London tonight went overwhelming, from my view, for Obama. I watched as a stream of voters placed their ballots in a box, either for Hillary or Obama, and for every 5-7 Obama voters there was 1 Hillary voter. I watched for about 45-60 minutes, of the 4 hour voting.

I expected London to be a stronghold for Hillary, but the turnout of new members (they could register tonight and vote) was overwhelming. They were mostly young people, but I saw lots of old people for Obama too.

London England. I would have called it for Hillary before tonight. Many administration-in-exile types there.

leaked exit numbers look like they give Hillary an edge in the big states. Looks like even California is going Clinton. True?

California still slight edge to Obama in the financial markets.

I thought this was all about delegates. Why are all of these media outlets (including this blog) "calling" states as if this were a general election?
