We’ll have LOTS of election follow-up Wednesday, so be sure to come back.

Happy Election, y’all!

The Party is On...

…In every sense of the word. The elder statesman at the Obama CA party have left the building and the Hyatt Century City has turned into a nightclub, complete with booming music, plenty of intoxicated revelers and even the scent of marijuana smoke.

Yes, Obama-heads celebrated the victory of Obama and commiserated over the lead Prop 8 has by celebrating the passage of Prop 215. Even the potheads are political here tonight. Hey, if Obama inhaled in his youth and admitted to it, can it be so bad?

As the smell of marijuana drifted over the press corps it was funny to watch each cameraman, anchor, producer and write raise their noses into the air, take a few sniffs, and then smile knowingly to each other.

A scene from earlier in the operation room of the Victory Party: the organizers were trying their best to keep Mayor Villaraigosa off stage—but, surprise, surprise, the slippery Mayor still made his way to the microphone.

That’s it from us; the KPCC staff is going to cut loose on the dance floor and breathe in deeply.

Reactions to the election? Post them here!

We want to hear how your day was (is), and what your reactions are to the election.

Election Night 2008: Scenes from the KPCC studios

As you can imagine, it’s been a busy and exciting day/night at KPCC. Our Chief Lance Harper took some photos capturing scene here in the Pasadena studios.

We had a full house here today, with hosts, producers, news director and editor, online editorial staff (!), engineers, IT folks, and special guests. Not forgetting our reporters and producers out in the field. It’s been an exhilarating day to work in news…

Bill Jones may be talking, but who's listening?

Bill Jones, the McCain California campaign chairman, was scheduled to speak tonight at an unfortunate time - right in the middle of the Obama acceptance speech. Think anyone was listening to him? The McCain supporters, certainly. But all the reporters were focused elsewhere….

Reporter's Notebook--Adolfo Guzman-Lopez at the McCain CA Party

Some eyes welled up under a tent at the Irvine Hyatt as Senator McCain conceded the presidential election just before 8:30 p.m. West Coast time. This speech from Phoenix is the last thing these people wanted to see and hear tonight. Some saw it coming weeks ago. There are several hundred Republicans faithful under this small tent. Most here knocked on doors, donated small and large amounts of their money, and some ran for office under the GOP ticket. The most vigorous applause came after Senator John McCain talked abut the bright future in the party for his vice presidential running mate, Sarah Palin and after McCain finished his concession speech. Vietnam veteran Manny Montanez of South Orange County told KPCC he’s disappointed in the presidential loss but he remains loyal to the party.

People booed minutes ago, when Brack Obama began giving his victory speech. The chair of California’s Republican Party, Ron Nehring, said “OK, we’ve heard enough of that.” And the audio of Obama’s speech was immediately cut off. California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, a Republican, is at the podium telling all those gathered that the problem is with the Republican leadership in Washington D.C.

Tears and Disappointment at the McCain CA Party

The crowd was silent during the McCain concession speech - there were even a few tears and a couple of boos when McCain congratulated Obama and Biden. But the evening continues here at the McCain CA party - it’s getting a little more crowded, we might even squeeze 200 people under this tent (quite a contrast to the size of the Obama CA party as blogged about below). The highlight of the evening? A quartet of young a cappella singers who successfully lightened the mood here - no easy feat - with their patriotic lyrics.

Intense emotion--the buzz words from Obama CA party

The excitement in the room is electric—girls are standing behind the press gallery screaming at the top of their lungs, seemingly at random. When CNN projected Obama as the winner the roar of the crowd was truly defeaning.

Antonio Villaraigosa just pushed his way through throngs of people. State Superintendent Jack O’Connell just spoke about defeating Proposition 8. Now Barbara Boxer is playing the role of responsible den mother, hushing the crowds to tell a serious story about her childhood and her sick mother. How this relates to Obama’s victory we’re not sure, but she’s probably going somewhere deep.

The mood here is so intense it’s almost surly. And McCain is now conceding, you can’t even hear what he’s saying.

Breaking News: NPR Projects Obama Wins Election

NPR and CNN project that Senator Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. wins the election and will be elected the 44th president of the United States.

Long Faces at the McCain-Palin "Party" in Irvine...

The news of the projected win by Obama has dampened the already subdued mood among Republicans at the McCain-Palin “party” here in Irvine. Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner has arrived and is making the rounds with local TV and radio news stations. The “war room” is right around the corner where the California Republican party has turned its attention away from the Presidential race to focus on California congressional and state seats. The music just began (country) and the bar is open, but this party feels like its already over….before it even began.

Reporter's Notebook--Frank Stoltze at the Obama CA Victory Party

Century Plaza Hotel a madhouse as thousands gather for Obama victory party. Biggest political party in Los Angeles since the recall election that swept Arnold Schwarzenegger into office in 2003. Lots of young people, African Americans, Democratic party apparatchik and electeds. Talked to one financial planner who was raised in Eritrea. He’s proud America elected its first black president. So is his father back home. They talked by phone earlier and his father expressed hopes an Obama administration would do more to help African countries. The campaigning lasted until the last minute, with a phone bank set up in the lobby outside the main ballroom here, where callers urged people to the polls.

The Media Shoving Match is On at the Obama CA party

I know that the real action is at the main Obama victory rally in Chicago, but we’re doing our best to show overwhelming enthusiasm here in L.A. as well. There are thousands of Obama-heads streaming into the Century City Hyatt, and there are almost as many media set up here as adoring supporters of the Democratic supporter.

KPCC is wedged in between KFI on one side and KNX on another, and you’ll be happy to know that we’ve tapped into the power supplies of our bigger commercial radio brethren. There is already intense pushing and shoving to get at the few noteworthy surrogates and elected Democrats that are in the room.

Your producer and correspondent will do our best to sabotage the broadcasts of our rival stations—oh, and we’ll also produce our usual top-notch programming.

The huge TV’s showing CNN in the main ballroom call Virginia for Obama, and the crowd goes nuts….many more of those moments to come, I’m sure.

The McCain-Palin Party in Irvine is (very) slowly coming to life....

We’re at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine where the festivities have yet to begin. Mostly its just reporters and press people for the California GOP waiting around. We’re in what appears to be a hastly erected tent near the hotel pool. Its small, so they must not be expecting a big crowd tonight. California Campaign Chairman Bill Jones and Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner should be here shortly. Governor Pete Wilson was expected, but it looks like he has cancelled. More to come as things get underway here in Irvine….

Madelyn Payne Dunham, grandmother of Obama, dies from cancer

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, passed away Monday at the age of 86 due to cancer. Obama left the campaign trail for two days last month to visit his grandmother due to her poor health, and had noted that she might not make it to Election Day.

Dunham and her husband, Barack’s grandfather, helped raise Obama for several years in Hawaii while his mother was overseas.

Obama and his sister issued the following statement on the death of their grandmother:

“It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer. She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances. She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring. Our debt to her is beyond measure.

“Our family wants to thank all of those who sent flowers, cards, well-wishes and prayers during this difficult time. It brought our grandmother and us great comfort. Our grandmother was a private woman, and we will respect her wish for a small private ceremony to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to any worthy organization in search of a cure for cancer.”

Vice presidential speculation heats up

Speculation over whom John McCain and Barack Obama will choose as their running mates continues to heat up. Rumored frontrunners for McCain's vice president include Florida Governor Charlie Crist, Democratic Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, while on the Democratic side, the rumored candidates include Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, Delaware Senator Joe Biden, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius.


Governor Kaine helped fuel the speculation about his candidacy through comments reported this week, but both sides remain tightlipped about who their choice will end up being. It's been speculated that Obama may make his choice before the summer Olympics begin on August 8th, in order to make sure his selection gets the most media coverage, since the Democratic convention starts the day after the Olympics end.

Europe eager to greet traveling Obama

Barack Obama is on a weeklong trip abroad, meeting with world leaders and holding several public events. He's visited Iraq and Afghanistan, and his trip also includes visits to other parts of the Middle East, including Amman, Jerusalem, and Ramallah, before heading Thursday to Europe, visiting Berlin, Paris, and London before returning to the United States.


Polls have shown that Europeans prefer Senator Obama to Senator McCain, with a recent poll from England saying that 49% of Britons, 65% of the French, 67% of Germans, and 70% of Italians would vote for Obama, while McCain gets only 14% of Britons, 8% of the French, 6% of Germans, and 15% of Italians.

Bush, McCain, and Obama on the current energy crisis

In a speech Tuesday, President Bush said that he was leaving how Americans should respond to the current energy crisis to the American people, and wouldn't be calling on Americans to conserve energy. He argued in favor of free market solutions.

John McCain has argued recently that we should expand offshore drilling and institute a summer gas tax vacation, while Obama opposes these plans, calling the gas tax vacation "a gimmick." McCain has argued that greenhouse gas reduction should be mandated, with conservation being left to market forces


Obama has argued in favor of a windfall profits tax on oil companies for profits over a certain amount that they aren't passing along to the consumer, which McCain opposes. He's also argued that the government should encourage the American people to conserve.

Senate approves FISA bill, grants immunity to phone companies

The Senate voted Wednesday in favor of a bill restructuring the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The bill will broaden the government's surveillance powers, and also shields phone companies from civil lawsuits for their participation in the Bush administration's domestic wiretapping program.


The bill passed 69 to 28, with 47 Republicans, 21 Democrats, and one independent voting in favor, and 27 Democrats and one independent voting against it. Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama voted in favor of it, while Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain didn't vote on the bill. McCain was out on the campaign trail. Obama's former Democratic primary rival Senator Hillary Clinton voted against the bill.


Many activists who have supported Senator Obama are strongly opposed to the bill, particularly its granting of immunity to the phone companies that participated in the Bush administration's program allowing wiretapping without a warrant. Obama had previously expressed his opposition to the phone company immunity, going as far to say he would filibuster any bill that included telecom immunity, but argued that passing other provisions in the bill was more important than to continue working for a different compromise.


What do you think about the FISA bill? Do you think that Senator Obama made the right decision, with regards to policy and/or politically? What sort of legal restrictions on wiretapping should there be? Tell us your thoughts in our comments!

Obama speaks with Bill Clinton

While Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has publicly mended relations with chief Democratic primary competitor Hillary Clinton, her husband, Bill Clinton, has reportedly not come along as quickly. Obama and Bill Clinton spoke for the first time since the end of the primary season on Monday. According to their aides, they discussed various issues, including Bill Clinton's role in helping Obama in the general election.


Read more about their conversation on the New York Times' Web site.


What roles do you think former president Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton should play in the Obama campaign? Will they campaign aggressively for Obama, or will strained relations affect that?

Presidential candidates respond to Supreme Court ruling on 2nd Amendment

Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a gun. Read the court's opinion and two dissenting opinions on the 5-4 ruling here. (PDF document) Both the Obama and McCain campaigns issued statements supporting the ruling.


Senator McCain's statement called the decision "a landmark victory for Second Amendment freedom in the United States." He praised the decision further and went on to criticize Senator Obama. "Unlike Senator Obama, who refused to join me in signing a bipartisan amicus brief, I was pleased to express my support and call for the ruling issued today. Today's ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller makes clear that other municipalities like Chicago that have banned handguns have infringed on the constitutional rights of Americans. Unlike the elitist view that believes Americans cling to guns out of bitterness, today's ruling recognizes that gun ownership is a fundamental right- sacred, just as the right to free speech and assembly." You can read the rest of McCain's statement here.


Senator Obama's statement said "I have always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms, but I also identify with the need for crime-ravaged communities to save their children from the violence that plagues our streets through common-sense, effective safety measures. The Supreme Court has now endorsed that view, and while it ruled that the D.C. gun ban went too far, Justice Scalia himself acknowledged that this right is not absolute and subject to reasonable regulations enacted by local communities to keep their streets safe." You can read the rest of Obama's statement here.


What do you think about the Supreme Court's ruling? What's your opinion on guns and the Second Amendment? Do you agree with either of the candidates on this issue, and why or why not? Tell us your thoughts by commenting below!

Obama opts out of public financing system

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has opted out of the public financing system for the 2008 general election. This is expected to give Obama a significant fundraising advantage in the general election campaign. Both Obama and Republican presidential candidate John McCain previously committed to pursue the possibility of public financing if the other party’s candidate did as well.

The public financing system is funded by tax dollars, donated by taxpayers by checking a box on their tax returns to give $3 for public campaign financing. If Obama had opted into the public financing system, it would have given Obama access to $84.1 million to use for the general election campaign, but would have placed him under spending limits. No presidential candidate has opted out of using public financing in the general election since changes made to campaign finance laws in the 1970s.

Lawyers from Obama and McCain’s campaigns met to discuss both campaigns opting in to the public financing system, but couldn’t agree on terms when it came to spending by both the campaigns and outside groups like the so-called 527 groups that have no spending limits.

The Obama campaign argues that his grassroots fundraising achieves the ultimate goal of public financing to make campaigns less dependent on large donors seeking political influence. McCain’s campaign argues that Obama is breaking a commitment and showing that he’s not committed to reform.

What do you think about this decision? Should presidential candidates always use public financing, or is it all right for them to be opt out? Should changes be made to the public financing system?

Vice Presidents and the State of the Race

Now that Senator Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination and the general election contest between Obama and Republican Senator John McCain ramps up, who do you think these candidates should choose for their running mates?

Should either of them choose noted rivals, such as Senator Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side, or Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee on the Republican side? Or should they go outside of this year's presidential candidates for a vice presidential nominee?

We'd love to hear your thoughts on potential vice presidential picks, where this race goes next, and whatever else you're thinking about this year's elections right now.

Obama Clinches; Clinton Doesn't Concede; Your Thoughts?

Propositions 98 & 99: Eminent Domain & Rent Control

Propositions 98 and 99 deal with the issues of eminent domain, the right of the government to take private property for public use, and rent control. The recent rise in concern over eminent domain was sparked by a Supreme Court ruling that said that the government had the right to take private property from one owner and give it to another private entity for the purpose of economic development.


The issue of rent control has been brought into the debate due to the argument that both eminent domain and rent control are property rights issues, and those supporting Propositions 98 and 99 are presenting their arguments on both of these issues. What do you think about eminent domain and rent control? Let us know in our blog comments!

Space Voting!

You may know about absentee voting via mail, or from overseas. But how about from space? If you're voting in a Texas election, it's legal.

In 1996, American astronaut John E. Blaha wanted to vote in that year's general election from aboard the Russian space station Mir, but since he was sent into space before absentee ballot forms were made available and was going to be on the Mir space station until after the election, he wasn't allowed to vote. Russian cosmonauts had simply voiced their voting preferences to staff on Earth, but U.S. law wouldn't allow that due to privacy concerns.

In 1997, with most astronauts being stationed in the Houston area, the Texas legislature passed a bill allowing their citizens to, yes, vote from outer space. Fun fact: It was signed into law by then Texas governor George W. Bush.

An electronic ballot is generated by the county clerk's office, which is then e-mailed to the astronaut's secure e-mail account. Mission control then transmits the e-mail via satellite to the astronaut in question. The astronaut can then cast his vote and use the same secure e-mail connection to send his ballot back to the county clerk's office.

The first astronaut to exercise this right was Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao in the 2004 presidential election, during his time aboard the International Space Station.

Which presidential candidate would handle the war in Iraq best, and why?

General David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker testify before Congress on April 8 and 9. All three major remaining presidential candidates are on committees that will hear testimony from Petraeus and Crocker. Senators Hillary Clinton and Senator John McCain are members of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, where Petraeus and Crocker testify the morning of the 8th. Senator Barack Obama serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where Petraeus and Crocker testify Tuesday afternoon.

Senator Clinton has promised to begin a phased redeployment of troops in Iraq within her first 60 days in office. Senator McCain believes that more troops are needed in Iraq. Senator Obama has pledged to immediately begin removing troops from Iraq, removing one to two combat brigades per month, with all combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months.

Which of these approachees do you think is most likely to succeed? How would you define "success" in Iraq? Will the testimony given by General Petraeus or Ambassador Crocker affect your opinion? Which candidate do you think would handle the war in Iraq best, if elected? Tell us your thoughts in our comments!

Which presidential candidate would you like to bring back?

We now have a presumptive Republican nominee, and the Democratic race has come down to two final combatants, but many other candidates on both sides have fallen over the course of this primary season.

On the Democratic side, we saw Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, and Mike Gravel (technically still running – possibly as both a Democrat and a Libertarian!).

For the Republicans, we had Sam Brownback, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul (also still running, sort of), Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson, and a candidate now going after the Constitution Party nomination, Alan Keyes.

Which candidate do you wish was still in the race? If you could wave a magic wand and bring back any presidential hopeful from the political dead, which would it be? Post your answer below, and tell us why!

Which factors should decide the Democratic nominee?

With neither candidate having enough delegates to win without the superdelegates, the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns have made opposing arguments about what the factors used to determine the nominee should be, attempting to influence the superdelegates in their favor. The Obama campaign has argued that pledged delegates should be the most important factor, with Obama currently leading 1,406 to 1,249, according to the Associated Press. The Clinton campaign has recently argued that superdelegates should look at who has won the most big states, which they argue puts Hillary in the lead.

Other factors discussed have included the popular vote (Obama is currently ahead by 700,000 votes out of 26 million), number of states won (Obama currently leads 27 to 14), opinion polling, electability, momentum, and whether each superdelegate should vote their conscience as to which candidate they like personally. Clinton backer Evan Bayh recently pushed the idea that superdelegates should look at the number of electoral votes that the states each candidate has won will have in the general election, which would currently put Hillary ahead 219 to 202. There's also the question of whether the Michigan and Florida votes should be considered in these calculations, even though their elections were ruled invalid by the Democratic National Committee.

Which do you think the superdelegates should consider when making their decision about who the Democratic nominee should be? Which measurements are important to you? We'd love to hear your thoughts; vote in our poll, and tell us more about your thinking by posting a comment below!

A Delegate Situation

Way back in 2007, when states were jockeying to see who could hold the earliest and therefore most (it seemed at the time) influential primaries, both Michigan and Florida moved up their Democratic primaries (to 1/15/08 and 1/29/08, respectively).

These dates were earlier than was allowed by Democratic National Committee (DNC) rules. The DNC had warned both states that if they did this, their delegates would not be seated at the nominating convention in August 2008. The states chose to move their primaries anyway. In Michigan, the decision to move the primary was made by the state Democratic party. In Florida, the Republican-controlled state legislature passed a law moving the primary date.

Because the assumption was that the states' delegates would not be seated, many of the Democratic candidates did not actively campaign in Florida or Michigan. Several campaigns, including the Obama and Clinton camps, signed a pledge that they would not campaign in those states.

In Florida, all the candidates remained on the ballot. In Michigan, Obama was among several candidates who withdrew their names from the ballot; Clinton did not do so. Clinton won both primaries.

Fast-forward to today. There is a debate raging about what should be done regarding Florida and Michigan's delegates. (An interesting article on this from today's New York Times.) The most likely options appear to be:

  • Don't seat the delegates at the convention, as was stipulated originally by the DNC when the states chose to move their primaries
  • Split the delegates 50/50 between Clinton and Obama
  • Hold in-person do-over elections
  • Hold mail-in do-over elections


Any form of do-over elections would cost money, and there are also debates about who would pay for them.

Beyond that, there are arguments aplenty about what would be most fair - to the candidates, to the voters in Florida and Michigan, to the other states who followed the DNC's rules, etc.

What do you think is, overall, the fairest way to address Florida and Michigan's delegates in the Democratic presidential race? Why?

Pick the Veep!

Senator John McCain has clinched the Republican nomination. Whom should he choose as his running mate?

What factors should McCain be considering? Who would best complement his "maverick" style of Republicanism? Post your comment below!

McCain and Obama argue over Iraq



Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama have gone back and forth on the issue of Iraq over the last couple days.

Their recent issue began with Obama's comments during Tuesday night's Democratic debate that he would withdraw troops from Iraq, but reserved the right to send them back in if al-Qaida began to establish a base in Iraq. McCain fired back Wednesday that al-Qaida is already in Iraq, and that Obama's answer showed a lack of understanding. They've continued to exchange barbs.

How important is the issue of Iraq to you? What do you think about the Iraq war so far? What do you think should be done going forward? Tell us all about it in our comments!

Obama and Clinton Face Off In Key Debate



Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama debated on MSNBC last night in Cleveland, Ohio. The debate opened with a 16 minute back and forth over health care. Other topics that they grappled with included Louis Farrakhan, Russia, IRS records, media bias, Iraq, campaign tactics, the NAFTA trade agreements, and more.

Who do you think won the debate? Does either candidate gain momentum going into next week's Ohio and Texas primaries? Is the media being fair to both candidates? We'd love to hear what you think in our comments!

Senator Dodd Endorses Obama

Senator Chris Dodd endorsed presidential candidate Barack Obama today. Dodd is the first 2008 Democratic presidential candidate to make an endorsement. Other former Democratic candidates John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, and Dennis Kucinich have all remained on the sidelines to date.

There has been concern over the prospect of superdelegates going against the pledged delegate total, popular vote, and/or number of states won, and tipping the election. Dodd himself is a superdelegate. Obama has been picking up more superdelegate endorsements, while Hillary Clinton has lost some who had previously committed to her.

Who do you think has momentum in the Democratic race? Hillary Clinton? Barack Obama? Mike Gravel? Do you think there's a chance it could shift directions? If so, how?

What impact do you think Dodd's endorsement will have? What impact would the endorsements of other 2008 Democratic candidates have, and will they endorse soon? How about former vice president/2000 Democratic nominee Al Gore? Who do you think any of them would endorse? Tell us your thoughts in our comments!

Ralph Nader Announces Third Presidential Bid

Ralph Nader announced his third presidential bid on Sunday's "Meet The Press." He previously ran in 2000, winning 2.7% of the vote, and 2004, winning 0.4% of the vote.

Nader came to prominence as a consumer advocate, writing the book "Unsafe at Any Speed" and taking on the car industry for their safety practices. He continued his activism, forming the group Public Citizen and enlisting other activists to work for him, who became known as "Nader's Raiders."

In 2000, he ran for president on the Green Party ticket, hoping to earn 5% of the popular vote, which would have earned the Green Party matching funds in future elections. However, he only received 2.7% of the popular vote. There was an ensuing argument about whether the votes for Nader could have tipped the 2000 election from Al Gore to George W. Bush, particularly due to Nader's votes in Florida, a crucial swing state. He ran for president again in 2004, this time independent of any party, receiving 0.4% of the vote.

Do you feel the need for a third party candidate? Are you happy with the choices offered by the Democratic and Republican parties? Do you worry about Nader tipping the balance one direction or another in this election? Would you consider voting for Nader or another third party candidate? Tell us your thoughts in our comments section!

The New York Times vs. John McCain

What do you think of today's New York Times article about Senator John McCain's relationship with a telecommunications industry lobbyist?

Do you consider it to be a worthwhile journalistic contribution to the presidential campaign? Do you believe, as Senator McCain charged, that the article amounted to nothing more than "a hit-and-run smear campaign?" Do you think it matters whether McCain had an affair with the lobbyist?

The New York Times argues that its article was trying to make a more subtle point, as the article put it: "Even as he has vowed to hold himself to the highest ethical standards, his confidence in his own integrity has sometimes seemed to blind him to potentially embarrassing conflicts of interest." Do you think the article substantiates that assertion?

Update: The New York Times is soliciting reader questions regarding the McCain article; questions will be addressed on Friday, February 22 by the reporters and editors who worked on the story.

How Are You Feeling About the Election?

Hello, all. We launched this blog primarily for use on Super Tuesday election night, but we've decided to keep going with it and continue our conversation with y'all about this VERY interesting election year.

Here we are, halfway through February. The Republican nominating race seems all sewn up, but don't tell that to Mike Huckabee. And the Democratic race? Goodness. Who could have predicted this one?

At this intriguing juncture, and with a little breather between primaries, we're really curious to hear how you're feeling about the election. Are you excited? Engaged? Addicted, as we are, to election coverage? Or are you starting to suffer from electoral fatigue? Share your thoughts with us!

We'll keep posting here periodically as there's news worth dissecting, and we hope you'll join the conversation. It's a historic year any way you look at it, and we're really looking forward to the rest of it...

Tell us your thoughts about yesterday's election!

How did you feel about your overall voting experience? What do you think about the troubles that "Decline to State" voters have had? How did your candidate and issues fare? We want to hear all about it! Feel free to post your comments.

Ballot measure results as of 8:50 a.m. Wednesday, February 6

As of this morning, here's how the ballot measures fared:

91: 58.1% no votes, 41.9% yes votes
92: 57.4% no votes, 42.6% yes votes
93: 53.5% no votes, 46.5% yes votes
94: 55.8% yes votes, 44.2% no votes
95: 55.8% yes votes, 44.2% no votes
96: 55.7% yes votes, 44.3% no votes
97: 55.7% yes votes, 44.3% no votes

Los Angeles city measure S: 65.63% yes votes, 34.37% no votes

The result with the biggest potential impact is the failure of Proposition 93. Term limits will remain at 6 years in the state assembly and 8 years in the state senate, meaning that quite a few incumbents will be termed out this year, including Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez and Senate President pro Tem Don Perata. To find out more about Proposition 93, check out our interactive quiz!

NPR projections as of 8:30 a.m. (PT) Wednesday, February 6

So, how have things changed sine last night?

Democrats:

Hillary Clinton (8): Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas, New York, New Jersey, Arizona, California

"Prohibitive frontrunner" versus "presumptive nominee"

You may have heard these terms being bandied about by various reporters recently, saying that so and so is a "prohibitive frontrunner," or talking about how someone isn't the "presumptive nominee" yet. What the heck does that mean?

To receive the Democratic nomination, a candidate needs 2025 out of 4049 delegates, while to win the Republican nomination, a candidate needs 1191 out of 2380 delegates. When a candidate doesn't have that number of delegates yet, but has such a substantial lead that it's prohibitive to the chances of other candidates catching up, they are referred to as a "prohibitive frontrunner." A candidate is the "presumptive nominee" when they've accumulated enough delegates to win the nomination through the primary/caucus process, but the party convention hasn't taken place yet, so they aren't officially the nominee yet.

The biggest Super Tuesday ever

To give you a sense of what makes this year's Super Tuesday such a big deal, 24 different states are having primaries or caucuses today. Before this, the biggest Super Tuesday had been in the year 2000, when 16 different states voted. The larger number of states is due to more states moving their primaries and caucuses up in an effort to give their voters more of a say in who the nominees will be. California was one of those states to move up their presidential primary this year, giving the California primary renewed importance.

NPR projects Clinton and Huckabee win Arkansas

First Democratic projections in from NPR; how are projections made?

NPR is projecting that Barack Obama has won the Georgia primary. You can continue to follow results state by state here and on our NPR Election Map.

So how are projections like this made, before the votes have been tallied? They use exit polls. Voters are surveyed as they leave their polling place about who they voted for. It's only a sample, not every voter, so that information is combined with pre-election polling, how voters in that precinct have previously voted, and other information to project a winner. They often wait until actual results start getting reported, figuring those into the calculations, to make sure an accurate projection is made.

How did West Virginia announce Huckabee win so early?

The first results of the day are in, and the big winner is... Mike Huckabee! He picked up 18 delegates from West Virginia's Republican state presidential convention. After trailing Mitt Romney in first round balloting, he won in second round balloting, picking up many voters who had chosen John McCain in the first round.

So, how did this get announced so quickly? Rather than being open to everyone or even just to party members, like many caucuses, the voting at the convention was done by state delegates, who were selected early last month. These state delegates included West Virginia Republican party officials, Republican members of the state legislature and Board of Public Works, and delegates chosen by local Republican party chapters in each county. The state has 27 total pledged delegates, the other 9 of which will be assigned in a May primary.

Obama campaign lawyer on voting issues

Stephen Kaufman, a lawyer with the Obama campaign, said that they have encountered two main issues today:

1. This one is a statewide problem: a number of DTS voters are asking for a ballot to vote in the Democratic primary, but are being denied one. This seems to be a result of uninformed poll workers. Also, many DTS voters are unaware that they have to ask for a ballot to vote in the Democratic primary, and are ending up with the DTS ballot, which does not include the presidential primary. (Tony West, another lawyer with the campaign, said they have seen this problem of DTS voters being denied a Democratic ballot in L.A., San Francisco, Alameda, Fresno, and Santa Clara counties.)

2. Only in L.A. County – The problem of DTS voters' confusion about having to mark the "Democrat" bubble above the candidates' names in order to have their vote count. This system has been in place for the last couple of election cycles, but they say it's particularly a problem this time around because the information in the voting materials is confusing, and there are such a large number of DTS voters who want to vote in the Democratic primary. Kaufman said, "We are hopeful that the County Registrar and the Secretary of State will implement procedures that will enable these votes to be counted, ultimately. If that does not happen, you might see the possibility of legal challenges."

Nonpartisan voters getting conflicting information?

We're already hearing some reports about issues at some polling places with nonpartisan/decline-to-state voters getting incorrect ballots and/or voting instructions. There is some concern about votes not being counted. KPCC's Molly Peterson is working on the story, and we will have much more on it throughout the day.

How was your voting experience?

We want to hear what it was like out there at the polls. If you've already voted -- share your stories here! How was the turnout? Were things well organized? Did you run into any problems? Post a comment and let us know.

Note: We have a strict policy of no electioneering on air or online while the polls are open, so in your comments, please DON'T tell us how you voted. We can not post any comments that might be construed as electioneering. Thanks!

Welcome to the Super Tuesday Blog!

We're up! For those of you who were looking for this blog earlier -- sorry, we were out voting. But we're up now, and we want to hear all about your Election Day experiences. We'll be blogging throughout the day and even more heavily this evening as results start coming in.
