Did Hillary take the state because a lot of Democrats had already submitted their votes for John Edwards by absentee ballot?

Will we be able to find out how many ballots were cast for Edwards?

If you go to CNN.com or even the Secretary of State's website for California, you can see how the votes broke down.

Honestly, there weren't than many absentee votes for Edwards and not enough to change who won even if they were all Obama.

according to CNN this morning, Edwards took about 200k in votes, which would have brought Obama closer to Hillary, but only assuming that everyone who voted for Edwards would vote for Obama.

Provisional ballots won't be counted completely for a month. So it's pretty much a dead heat no matter how you look at it.

But I LIKE Edwards. I was sorely tempted to still vote for him last night.

Hillary scares me. Her version of Healthcare is frightening.

O-Bama O-bama.

I like John Edwards too, but he's a lost cause. If he's really lucky he'll get tapped for VP.

Hillary will tap Obama if she wins. He can do nothing but help her ticket.

But she can do nothing but hurt his if he wins. So I am hoping for a Obama/Edwards ticket.

Yes, Obama.
Obama/Edwards would be a very good mix.
It's what I hope for.
Hillary/Obama - hmmmm.....could work, but still scary. I can't put my finger on why she unsettles me so much, but she does.
