On the way out of his polling place, at Garnet-Patterson Middle School, shortly after 7 a.m., Loose Lips learned that, to that point, Barack Obama (D-Ill.) led Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) 19-1.

LL offers this information with two caveats:

• LL’s precinct, which encompasses the northeast portion of the U Street corridor, is rich in two key Obama demographics: yuppies and African-Americans.
• LL gleaned this information from the exit polling of an Obama electioneer.

Happy voting, folks.
