The polls don't close for another two hours but given some of the anecdotal stuff I'm hearing about turnout, and given that Louisiana figures to have a relatively high number voters who will still vote for Edwards, I'm going to guess that this is going to be a disappointment of sorts for Obama. The question of just how big a disappointment it is remains to be answered. Keep in mind also that Hillary probably has an edge with Louisiana's Superdelegates.
Update: It looks as though both Dangerblond and Karen Gadbois will make the cut in their race to join the Orleans Parish Democratic Executive Committee in District A. Congrats, kids. You had the Yellow Blog bump working for you.
Mark Moseley and Michael Homan were not as fortunate. Seems the Elvis-hugging old-school kicker vote just didn't materialize this time around. Maybe if either of those candidates had tried talking more about their activities on 9-11... but let's not dwell on what could have been.
As for the Presidential primaries... well both results are even murkier than they appear. Sure Obama thumped Hillary among the voters but the ultimate delegate count will be much closer. Meanwhile Huckabee and McCain are still running neck and neck with the 90% of the precincts in. But the GOP system for delegate apportionment is even screwier than the Dems' so... again... it's really hard to say if any of this means anything. Ain't Democracy grand?
