The Democratic presidential candidates waited Tuesday for the voters' verdict, as a new poll showed the race in a virtual dead heat nationally. Sen. Hillary Clinton started her day with several broadcast interviews, then voted in Chappaqua, New York.
Sen. Barack Obama also appeared in a broadcast interview, and picked up an early victory as American expatriates in Indonesia gave him 75 percent of their votes.
Clinton took just nine seconds behind a closed curtain to cast her vote in New York's Democratic presidential primary.
She arrived at the polling station in Chappaqua's Douglas Grafflin Elementary School at 8 a.m. with her husband and daughter.
When a poll worker joked, "I just want to confirm, you're a Democrat, right?" Clinton responded, "I am, true blue."
"The stakes are huge for our country, a lot of big challenges, but America's up to it," Clinton said after casting her vote.
"We just need a president who's ready on day one to turn the economy around and become commander in chief and get our country back on the right track."
