So sayeth the Wall Street Journal. Consider this your primary night open thread.
[UPDATE: CNN results here. 26% in, 55/41 Clinton, and Obama's barely winning Jefferson County. - Moe Lane]
[Further UPDATE: At 83%, it's 65/31 Clinton... and if I'm reading the results correctly, Obama will be getting no pledged delegates from the 5th Congressional District of Kentucky. That's... interesting, yes? - Moe Lane]

If y'all remember a map loaded post here a while back predicting a Hillary sweep of Appalachia, it appears to have been quite insightful: No Really, Hillary Has a Decent Shot
I wanted to check back on this once all the states it covered were in, and looking at the recent county maps, appears to have nailed it. I've seem some news outlets mention the trend later on, but I heard it here first. Impressive.

No doubt the MSM will be calling for his resignation in the morning with such a trouncing.

Followed by Mike Huckabee with 8%, Ron Paul with 7%, UNCOMMITTED with 5% and more.
I kinda surprised that Alan Keyes got votes, myself.

Should it surprise me that Obama received no delegates from the amalgamation of the old Republican 5th and Carl Perkin's Eastern Kentucky 7th? Not really.
Obama is fine. Truly. But I'm sure he appreciates the concern. :-).
Put the man on the ticket!!!

We are so proud of Barack Hussein Obama carrying on our hope to the White House. For sure the whole world of our brotherhood will support you all the way in whatever way to achieve that. You make us for the first time proud to be American. Your wife Michelle said it precisely and you shouldn't spend time even thinking she said it wrong! She inspired us. We are so proud that you're proud to get back to your roots by renoucing the pastor. Allah guidies you and us to the White House. The beauty of democracy is to be unfold in November 2008. Then America can make peace with the Muslim world finally understanding each other in the same same faith. They have the oil, America have the military might. Together we shall change the world. No need appeasement any more. We shall be in the brotherhood for change. Go Barack Hussein Obama go. The White House in November 2008!!!

Hillary netted 250,000 popular votes in KY alone, which is quite astonishing considering the long odds she's facing. Read Obama's withering fundraising numbers...

If you look at it, if you include Florida (which I personally think you should since the both were on the ballot and the both equally "did not campaign" in the state), Hillary Clinton still has a very legitimate shot at winning the popular vote. She needs to win Puerto Rico strong and be at least competitive in Montana and South Dakota but it is doable for her. Especially if Montana and South Dakota voters remember Obama's "clinging" comments about guns and religion.
The Democratic Convention could be the best...convention...ever!

Obama probably thinks he will win without Hillary -- after they organize the black vote and end up with a 400% turnout of eligible black voters -- and all the college kids vote both at home and at school.
After all wasn't he an organizer for ACORN?

Possibly one of Dr. Seuss' most anti-capitalist of works, other than The Lorax... although, when I read it, I thought it was more about a great marketer and a witless populace than the inherent evils of conspicuous consumerism (which was Geisel's intent).
Only thing I can think of is, in an election context, you're using the stars as the new "ink-stained fingers"?
