A dynamic election

Tuesday, 5th February 2008

One thing that could impact today’s results is that the results in the east will start coming out while the polls are still open in the west. There is talk that this could help John McCain in California as he is expected to win big in several eastern states and that could dissuade Romney supporters from heading to the polls and encourage Republicans to row in behind a winner. Of course, this only matters if the race in California is very close and then polls are far from clear on that.
