Take me through this...

How do they project winners a minute after polls close? Or when they say only 2% of the votes have been counted? Right now Obama is projected as the winner in one state with a 52% to 42% after 2% of the vote counted. How does that happen? I mean is it sound mathematics?

Also, is anyone expected to drop out after tonight? I'm kind of hoping...

And did the Hollywood writer's strike make this race more interesting? You know, in a "there's nothing else to watch" kind of way.

I predict Huckabee drops out after tonight. He's won West Virginia, he'll win Arkansas, but he's got a tough row to hoe everywhere else.

The pundits claim the strike greatly increased viewship of the debates and thus people had more invested in the primaries this year and came out. I think it's also the entrance of minority candidates into the field that are viable winners.
