Obama and Clinton split the states alphabetically

As of around 7:30 pm California time here on Super Tuesday night, a look at the New York Times web site shows a remarkable pattern in the Democratic primaries:

NYTimes Democrats

As you can see, Obama wins the states up until “M”; Hillary wins from M through Z. (If you can’t see, click the picture for a full-sized image.)

If the pattern holds, the Obama folks may have a big win in California on the way.

This is about as reliable as the numerology that sometimes passes for market-timing prediction on Wall Street. But, hey, it’s a pattern!

    And then Clinton went and won California! How inconsiderate of her! Has this woman no respect for numerology! ;-)
    It was a cool chart until it got blown out of the water.
    Nice and fun post, you must feel relieved you included the disclaimer about how “reliable” this data is.
