Voters in my own age cohort, 65 and older, have messed up what otherwise was a great day for Barack Obama in today’s primaries.

Obama carried the under-65 vote in all four states — Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont — but Hillary Clinton did well enough among the fogies to win the popular vote in Rhode Island and probably Ohio.

Yes, my predictions of yesterday appear likely to have been right on the money — Clinton carrying Ohio and Rhode Island, while Obama wins Texas and Vermont (as things stand now shortly after 9 p.m.).  But I would prefer to have been wrong. 

UPDATE: Suddenly, Texas is looking a little iffy.

My position on that issue is…uh…uh

Marc Ambinder DOES THE MATH.

POSTSCRIPT: Jonathan Alter offers HIS MATH, too, and it doesn’t look good for Clinton.
