Well, it seems like the Massachusetts electorate doesn't need to turn to the editorial pages or their elected officials to determine who gets their vote. Good deal.

The Herald, the Globe, Senators Kennedy and Kerry, and Governor Patrick appear to have quite a following in Illinois.

I went looking to see what Massholes (and I count myself among them) decided to vote for the war candidate, Hillary.

City votes (Somerville, Brookline, Boston, etc) went to Obama.

Suburban soccer moms (Franklin, Worcester, Natick, etc) went to Hillary.

Exit polls suggested that Dem women came out to vote almost 3-to-2 compared to Dem men.

At least we split delegates here...if she carried all of the MA delegates, I'd be ill. It's already making my head spin to see the "me woman, vote for woman" popularity-esque results in such an educated state as Mass. I hate the general populace.

Seth Gitell credits his former boss, Tom Menino, for helping to deliver Massachusetts to Clinton:

National pundits, in a tizzy over Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Barack Obama, overlooked the support of McGovern, whose organization in central Massachusetts is so strong. Even further overlooked was Mayor Menino, whom I've always said, has the strongest political organization east of New York City.

Maybe so, but Obama actually won in Boston, 53-44. As Anonymous notes above, Clinton won the state thanks to the far-suburban and exurban vote (except for the Rte. 2 belt from Boston to 495); in addition to Boston, the inner suburbs basically all tilted Obamawards (map). Does Menino have some secret suburban machine we don't know about?

...I swear I'm going to throw-up. If I hear any more women gushing Hillary rhetoric and saying they voted/are going to vote for her, and then have to hear the press drone on and on about it I'm going to scream. It makes me want to scream, "I'm a white woman and I'm too old to be part of the 'youth vote' and I VOTED FOR OBAMA! I was never on the fence, he's the man." I wish these analysts would just shut-up, and maybe people would actually vote what they want and not what they're being brainwashed into doing.

(unofficially) are here.

Obama beat Clinton, while McCain beat Romney. Ron Paul got more votes than Mike Huckabee. John Edwards still got a few hundred votes. One withdrawn candidate (Tom Tancredo) got 0 votes, and another (Duncan Hunter) got 1 vote.

The Globe's town-by-town results show Huckabee carrying Salem, and Ron Paul winning Boylston. These results are so anomalous that I have to wonder if they are correct.

Gene Koo volunteered for Obama and describes the view from inside the Alamo, i.e., a Massachusetts campaign that, despite all the big-name endorsements, sent most of its workers down to Connecticut.

After talking to quite a few other volunteers, it became clear that we were not the only ones who were ready and able to help scale the operations but were never tapped. Cambridge, of course, turns out to be a hotbed of activists who have run various campaigns over the years. Rather than fan out to other parts of the state, all of us were set loose on each other in the last few days.

However, he adds he is also alarmed that the Patrick endorsement meant so little - what happened to all the people who put him into office?

The fact that a majority of voters in this state voted for either Clinton or, even more unfathomably, the very man who forced us to buy health insurance we can't afford amongst other idiocies, is likely to remove most of my remaining faith in the human race.

Sort of apropos...my sons returned from Boston Latin School and Academy reporting Obama sweeps in both.

Anybody know where I can see more detailed results? As in, what my polling place voted for?

I'm a lifelong Democrat, but just curious to hear from the Republican voters.

Former Edwards supporter who volunteered for Hilary after he dropped out. At the end of the day, it came down to a better health plan and her focus on children, who I see most impacted by poverty.

I like Obama, liked his supporters (liked all the supporters). But Deval has been such a disappointment WRT the environment and he seemed like more more vague happy "he's a nice guy" that reminded me of George Bush.

And I was glad to vote for a woman. And so was my mom, sister and daughter.

I filled out Boston.com's feedback form, pointing out the likely errors in Boylston's and Salem's Republican results. A few hours later, I got this reply:

"Thank you for writing to Boston.com. Incorrect Salem figures appeared at [long Boston.com URL] earlier due to an Associated Press reporting error, which has been corrected. "
