6:29 PM: While the polls don't formally close in Kentucky until 7 PM EST, early numbers from counties in the eastern time zone appear to certify the large margin for Clinton, although Obama appears to be doing well in Lexington and will at least win a couple of counties which is more than he could say about West Virginia.
6:31 PM: The numbers have closed considerably in the last couple of minutes but Jefferson County, home of Louisville, and considered to be on of the few counties which Obama has even a small chance of carrying has reported about 30% of its results. In short, this is probably as close as Obama is going to get all night. 
6:55 PM: While Obama is now within three points it appears that all of Jefferson county is reporting before the rest of the state. Still this bodes well for him reaching the 33-18 split which was considered Obama's best case scenario in Kentucky heading into tonight.
7:00 PM: MSNBC has called the Kentucky Democratic Primary for Hillary Clinton.
