McCain 40%, Romney 32%, Huckabee 22%
Given that these states leaned blue, what is clear that Mitt Romney battled to within a single digit deficit nationally of the frontrunner, making this the closest nomination contest since 1976. For a campaign that started at 3% in the polls, it came a long way. But it's confronting a harsh reality tonight, with an inability to break out of the low thirties in any primary state Mitt Romney has not called home. The "big winner" of the night finished third, racking up delegates thanks to his concentrated strength in the South. On the Democratic side, Clinton and Obama were within 25,000 votes of one another by my count. The NBC delegate tracker had it at 841 for Obama, 837 for Clinton. We now move on to the Maryland and DC contests, which lean Obama, and the Virginia primary, which is open to Republicans and independents.
Make your holiday home videos shine
Think about all the bad photos or videos you've seen with a tiny person in the bottom of the frame and a bunch of empty space above her. "Look at how different objects are relating within the frame," Chiles says. Film under even lighting. Filming on a cloudy day or at sunset is better than filming under direct sunlight. Don't film people standing in front of a window: They'll fade into the shadows. "If you're going to be shooting a lot in low light, you might consider buying some kind of a video light," Chiles says. To keep the light from being too bright on your subjects, buy a diffuser to put over the bulb or make your own with a pair of pantyhose. Give your subjects space. Chiles recommends at least 4 feet of distance. "It allows them not to feel like you're up in their face." If a person is feeling awkward in front of the camera, Chiles will shoot in another direction and then wait until her subject is not paying attention to her to film him.

Celebrities on hand were Shawn and Kim Wayans, Chingy, Chrisette Michelle ,Tank, Lil' Mama, Rick Ross, Three Six Mafia and more. "The Trey the Chocolate Jock More Jump-off" is one of the many radio shows on hand conducting interviews and, of course, my girl morning show co-host, Kendra G. checked in with me.
Tank pretty much confirmed that the "TGT" album, (Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank) will be out no time soon! Without naming which member Tank said in so many words that there is an ego problem going on and that the money should be split evenly amongst all three people. I can't say, but Tyrese is very excited about the project.
