Asoociated Press has called it for Obama, with Obama now at 76% to Clinton’s 23%, with more than half the precincts reporting.

Note how the AP studiously avoided listing the margin of victory (at least at press time) of around 76-23. Still trying to cover the Clintons. Still the writer did get in a good first line with the "Hawaii 10-0" label.

I just noticed the strangest thing. I’ve been screen capturing through the night the results from Drudge’s ABC link and at 4:18am EST AP reported 70% of precincts had reported their results but the AP’s 4:37am EST update shows only 67% reporting. I’m gonna presume that they meant to write 77% since the actual vote totals grew. Still kind of fun to capture such a mistake.
