Last revision/extension (9:48 pm 6/3/2008) – I probably should’ve spent more time on the Brewer game. Hooray beer! Let’s just say that drunkenblogging with Labatt Maximum Ice is not recommended for the amateurs or the tired. See you tomorrow, though the Scramble may be late.
R&E part 5 (8:52 pm 6/3/2008) – Hillary Clinton won’t be making any decisions tonight, and invited people to write her. NO SLEEP TILL DENVER!
R&E part 4 (8:03 pm 6/3/2008) – Even though South Dakota’s too close to call, CNN and MSNBC follow the DNC script and wait until the South Dakota polls close to award Barack Hussein Obama the ‘Rat nomination. Needless to say, they broke away from the McCain speech to get their up-the-leg thrills out.
R&E part 3 (6:51 pm 6/3/2008) – CNN let loose the reason why they aren’t following Fox and AP in declaring Barack Obama the nominee – they want the “voters” to decide”. Horse hockey – the deciders did.
Also, Sister Toldjah is live-blogging, and she notes John McCain will be dueling Obama with a major speech.
R&E part 2 (5:24 pm 6/3/2008) – Fox News now has Obama at 2,123 delegates, 5 more than needed. CNN has him at 2,106 and MSNBC has him at 2,105. Also, do scroll below the latest update and the CoverItLive window for the previous updates.
Revisions/extensions (4:25 pm 6/3/2008) – I thought I hit “save” on this version just short of 4, but if you’re here, you know I started the popcorn early. Fox News is reporting the Associated Press’ numbers say that Barack Obama has clinched the nomination ahead of the results of the final primaries.
I’ll start this popcorn party by 7 pm (Central for those of you not in the Midwest), or earlier if somebody actually calls the nomination for Barack Obama. CNN has him at 2,088 delegates, leaving him 30 short, while Fox has him at 2,111 (7 ahort) and MSNBC has him at 2090.5 delegates (27.5 short).
It’s been a heck of a ride for the NRE Spring Hill campaign. Unfortunately, it fell short of its ultimate goal of a weakened Clinton as the nominee, but by every other metric that can be measured now, it’s a wild success. We put a huge dent in the Obama coffers, caused not a few skeletons to emerge from the closet, and left much dissention in the ‘Rat corner.
