Let me start by saying that final night, I think we saw one of the greatest political comeback upsets of all moment.

I’ve been watching MSNBC considering of Keith Olbermann. But I’m done. Chris Matthews is insufferable. Right now, Brokaw is giving him a tongue-lashing, well deserved. But that’s it. I’m watching CNN the rest of the way unless MSNBC muzzles that blowhard.

Don’t scream!

On the Republican side, they were won by, well, you know.

And the race is on!
Hillary Clinton just showed everyone who had called that thing for Obama that, in fact, there’s a much longer race in store.

So there’s a huge gender gap. Massive. Apparently, women didn’t take kindly to society beating up on Hillary for — gasp! — tearing up. Can you believe...

Here’s a thread to talk about how horrible McCain’s speech was. Jesus, is it possible to have less energy than that? It might not be “Dean Scream”-esque, but it was naughty.
