[QUOTE=cricetus]  
They made a point on CNN that Obama would want the voters to put him over the top, not supers.  
[/QUOTE]

That’s probably why his site hasn’t changed from 10 in a while. I guess they’re waiting for the polls to close.

GObama!

For want of anything important to do, I think John King is drawing crop circles on his map of South Dakota.

Do they typically announce that stuff? I don’t think he’ll speak until after the polls close, which I think is 10 eastern, and I’m sure Clinton will be speaking first.

According to local reports, they expect Obama to speak around 9:30-10:00 (CDT). The polls in MT close at 9:00, and Hillary has to go first.

I think McCain is going to burble something too tonight, for some reason. To remind everybody he exists, I guess.
