More stuff I should have blogged

It was an insta-call for Clinton tonight in West Virginia -- 2:1, at least, according to MSNBC. Roughly a 10 delegate swing to Clinton.

  • TPM makes a great catch -- in The Hill's roll call of Senatorial interest in the VP slot, three Republicans said no, citing age. All were Republicans, and one was younger than McCain.
  • MSNBC has exit poll data up for West Virginia, but the early results seem funky. Since they update the exit polls as actual results come in, I'd wait to make any projections based on them.
  • ABC needs to improve the quality of its political reporting.
  • Josh Gerstein takes a look at the lobbyists surrounding John McCain and the foreign interests they represent.
  • The AP reports that John McCain faces "Boeing Blowback" for helping Airbus beat out Boeing for a $35 billion defense contract.
  • My former governor (who, unlike my current guv, is one of the nation's finest) explains why McCain was wrong to support Airbus and oppose Boeing.

Keith Olbermann just asked a funny question, given the the nature of the delegate math. "What are we all (the pundits) still doing here?"
