In an expected move, the networks have called Vermont for Barack Obama. We don’t know what the margin of victory is yet, so we don’t know how many of the state’s 15 delegates will go to the Illinois Senator.

The exit polls show that Obama won majorities in basically every demographic. Tellingly, however, Obama lost people who decided on their candidate in the last three days, underscoring exactly how badly the last half week has been for Obama.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
