Obama declared winner in Georgia

Obama did very well in Georgian and has been declared a winner by Fox among others. He is doing very well in other southern states with a large black population and will probably be declared a winner when the polls closed. Clinton is winning Arkansas easily.

Huckabee and McCain worked a deal to deny the West Virginia caucuses to Romney, with the McCain delegates pushing Huckabee ahead. That is hard nose politics that may not play well with other voters who want to "change" Washington.

The Clinton camp is apparently concerned about New Jersey, a state they thought they had wrapped up.

McCain is apparently not doing as well as early predictions suggested, and it may mean he will be unable to put away the field. Huckabee is doing better than expected in the south, but Romney is running a close race in Georgia and California.

In Arkansas, Clinton and Huckabee are the winners. Clinton also is leading in Tennessee and Obama has been declared the winner in Alabama and Illinois. McCain has been declared the winner in several northeastern states, but Romney did win Massachusetts.

At 8 pm Texas time the polls closed in Arizona and McCain has not gotten his home state wrapped up. Ninety percent of Republicans in Arizona oppose McCain's immigration bill. This would be a huge upset despite his big wins on the east coast.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
