MSNBC call on West Virginia...

6:30 pm (CDT) - They went to commercial at 6:26 until now! In previous Democratic primaries, MSNBC has called Obama the winner within 30 seconds of the polls closing and with 0% of precincts reporting. They never did that for any primary the Clinton won.

WOW! MSNBC actually called the West Virginia primary within 30 seconds of polls closing for Senator Clinton by a margin of 2 - 1 with NO precincts reporting and NO votes counted, using only exit polls.



6:15 pm (CDT) - Tweety has been interacting with Terry McAuliffe, Clinton Campaign Chairman, for the last 15 minutes, maybe I should say trying to badger him rather than interact. McAuliffe is the number one drumbeater for Clinton and will not be intimidated by Matthews. He put out a strategy how she can still win the nomination. Even Huckabee, now being interviewed by Olbermann, is saying that Hillary is in it because it is her longtime goal and she doesn't have to do it.

NO call yet with 14:38 until the polls close.

6:00 pm (CDT) - NO call from MSNBC yet but they continue talking about the whiteness of WV and how the education level is lower. Oh, and they keep wondering how far Hillary will go until she pulls out. MSNBC has also been showing a lot more commercials than usual...

5:41 pm (CDT) - MSNBC has not done anything yet except countdown the time [47:48] until the voting ends. I've been checking about every half-hour. All predictions say that Sen. Clinton will take the election by a wide margin, about 60%. One man that was interviewed for an exit poll said, "We are probably the whitest state in the country." You know what the spin on that statement is...
