Clinton Finally Breaks Obama's Streak

Well, Obama got his streak up to 12 in a row with his Vermont victory early on this evening, but that's where the streak ends.

Hillary is projected to win Rhode Island--no surprise there. She's also going to win Ohio--the exit polls give her a significant enough lead, it's just a matter of how long the networks will wait to make the call.


So the big question is Texas, which looks like it will be very close. Exit polls give Hillary a teeny lead, but exit polling in a state as diverse as Texas is tricky. Expect this one to go into the wee hours, and then we have to wait for the "two-step" caucus results to come in as well. If Clinton wins Texas on the popular vote, she'll say it's a victory, no matter the delegate count, and will plod on to Pennsylvania (losing Wyoming and Mississippi in the next week, however), ensuring that this thing will be up in the air through April at least.


More later.
