Josh Marshall has some preliminary exit polls for the Dems. Get ready for some surprises if these hold. UPDATE: More early exit poll info over at MyDD.

It isn't spinning wildly at the moment, but it will start to as results come in: behold the Live Delegate Counter from Huffington Post and ABC News.

Fan favorite James Dobson swears that he will never support McCain, and Limbaugh keeps up the McCain Mutiny.

In case you missed it, some bad news about the service sector resulted in a Dow drop of about 370 points. Yikes. The service sector hasn't contracted since 2003.

Visual dissonance from MSNBC after the jump.

It is still early so you'll see some stories like this and the one about West Virginia until results from real states start rolling in: Indonesian Democrats Abroad went for Obama almost 75/25. That's votes and percent.

For your consideration: friends, family, and associates voting in California say that long lines greeted them at polling places in parts of Los Angeles. It isn't a literal turnout numbers comparison or anything but they were surprised to see it. Besides, the projected California turnout would be record-breaking if it materializes.

You've heard the rumors, and now we know them to be true. Karl Rove is the latest addition to Fox's stable of "journalists" and "pundits".

Somewhere around $13 million, according to Terry McAuliffe. A huge month by any standards other than the standard set last week by Obama's massive January haul. My wife Diana says we live in strange days when $13 million in 31 days seems like a slow burn by comparison to some other single-month finance run. I agree with her, but what can you do? Welcome to 2008.
