Missouri
Clinton Doesn't Win Missouri After All
With 97 percent of the vote tallied, Barack Obama has taken a 3,000 vote lead over Hillary Clinton in Missouri, reversing the night-long trend in Clinton's favor and causing news outlets who had called the state to pull back their projections. A win in Missouri would represent Obama's marquee victory for the day, a large Midwestern state where Clinton was leading in the polls right up to election day.
UPDATE: Obama wins it.
