SO...WHICH STATES COUNT?: Yglesias, on the fuzzy math:

Back in October 2007, Clinton was beating Obama in Maine by a hilarious 47 to 10 margin, but it seems he's carried the state today, once again by a large margin. My understanding, though, is that this doesn't really count because it's a small state, much as Utah doesn't count because there aren't many Democrats there, DC doesn't count because there are too many black people, Washington doesn't count because it's a caucus, Illinois doesn't count because Obama represents it in the Senate even though Hillary was born there, Hawaii won't count because Obama was born there. I'm not sure why Delaware and Connecticut don't count, but they definitely don't...I forgot about Missouri. Obama's win in Missouri, of course, doesn't count because the state was called too late.

Well, I suppose at least they are counting all the votes...

Huckabee's an idiot (now there's a surprise) because they did count all the votes. They just announced who had almost surely won after counting 87% and finished counting the rest the next day.

(This is also one of those "beauty contest" caucuses where the delegates chosen have nothing to do with the presidential preference votes.)

Mobile gambling – Getting there but not quite yet there

I recently bought an iPhone (such a cool gizmo) and while messing around with it I thought I’d better give mobile gambling a shot.
I tried a couple of online casinos offering this type of service.
To my disappointment, the level of overall gaming experience was pretty week.
The interface was flawed everything to an hour to load
(I had a Wi-Fi connection so speed wasn’t the problem).
Before I have given up I decided to load the flash version (instant casino) of another online casino I cannot recall at the moment.
It was much better. The graphics were phenomenal and speed wasn’t a problem. Mobile gambling – Getting there but not quite yet there
