NBC News is calling Georgia for Barack Obama. McCain, Huckabee and Romney are locked in a three-way dead heat on the GOP side. From the exit polls:
Early information from exit polls of voters in 16 states showed Clinton winning only a slight edge among women and white voters, both groups that she has won handily in earlier contests. Obama was collecting the overwhelming majority of votes cast by blacks, and Clinton was gaining the votes of roughly six in 10 Hispanics. Apparently Obama is going to do well among white male voters. We await the data...
Update: Obama got 43% of the white vote, doing better, not surprisingly, among younger whites.
