Subsequent editions of the liveblog will be at Cliff Schecter's Campaign Silo. Come on over and say hi!
6:50 PM: Terry McAuliffe goes on Fox from Louisville, KY at 5:14 PM to tell viewers that "Hillary Clinton wins Florida, Obama doesn't win it today." Ditto Ohio. I guess Bill Clinton came in third in '92 behind Ross Perot and George Bush Sr., because that is where he was in many of the polls at this time back then.
Oh right, he won. Terry, Terry, Terry. I like ya man. But when primaries end and the party unites, things change. I just can't buy
this argument. And I live in Ohio.
So, um, I guess that "fragile ceasefire" is over?
Here is video:
7:06 PM: Kentucky has been called for Clinton by MSNBC. She is up 51% to 46% with 16% of the vote in.
Hillary won voters over 85 with 78% of the vote. If you drink Sanka, you voted Hillary. She also won rural whites and non-college whites by a similar margin.
West Virginia II: Electric Boogaloo
7:11 PM: Over at Fox, Brit Hume says Obama ain't seen nothing yet and says sarcastically that the "big bad Republicans" will do worse to him than the Jeremiah Wright controversy. He seems to relish it. I think I just saw a little bit of blood drip out of his mouth.
Fred Barnes likes John F. Kennedy. Obama is not that tough. Of course Fred doesn't mention that if we had listend to his ideological bedfellows of that day, such as Bombs Away LeMay, we would have just bombed them and Russia would have responded with nukes. Oops.
22% is in on Fox - Hillary up 54% to 43%
7:17 PM Carl Cameron reminds us that the RNC will attack Obama. OK. Also he reminds us that McCain is attacking Obama for being soft on Cuba. I am guessing that is one of the few countries that doesn't have a lobbyist on McCain's staff.
Brit Hume just reminded us that lobbyists are good people too. He is searching for equivalence with Obama on this. Good luck.
27% of the vote in per Fox, 56% to 41% Hillary lead
7:24 PM: Roland Martin points out on CNN that Obama is pivoting for the general election. "Resting your stars for the playoffs." Seems somewhat accurate. Alex Castallanos is talking about how to appeal to white working-class voters. He should know. He used to make the kind of racist ads for Jesse Helms that would make Karl Rove blush.
7:36: Sorry, my crappy laptop shut down. Finally I hear someone state the obvious about whether Dems for Hillary will come home for Obama. Paul Begala pointed out that 51% of McCain Republicans said they wouldn't vote for Governor Bush in 2000. And they didn't. Which is why George W. Bush never became President.
7:38: MSNBC - Chuck Todd is smart. Nothing more to add. He is one of the smartest political dudes on tv.
7:41: Bob Cesca says it's now 58% to 43% Hillary-Obama in KY. And he's smart. They let him write for the top slot at The Huffington Post. So even though I haven't seen it yet, I am going with Bob on this.
7:47: Per Fox Hillary up 57% to 40%. Back on MSNBC, Lisa Caputo, Hillary supporter, says that the whole process has to play out. I may be crazy, but I think it has. She also brought up "values voters." Who are these people and what do they value? Does anyone actually call themselves a "values voter?" Or is it just another Mark Penn creation like "office park dads" or "one-legged Uzbeki mountain climbers."
7:58: Brit Hume just cracked a smile. Seriously, I think I might have seen teeth. Now O'Reilly is on. It's Laura Ingraham! Awesome! On cue my 19-old just ran his truck into the entertainment center right below the tv. It's a sign. I'm turning the channel.
8:03: Chris Matthews just said John McCain has been "beaten around by the Republican Party like an old blanket." Was it waterboarding, though? Because that doesn't count as torture.
55% - 62-34 Hillary
8:09: OMG Bob Cesca is brilliant! Alex Castellanos really is Robert Goulet!
8:12: Hillary is about to speak! First, Terry McAuliffe is "firing up the crowd" according to Tim Russert. I hear he stole his routine from Chris Rock.
8:14:Hillary is speaking. She made a very classy statement about Teddy Kennedy. Our prayers are with him of course. Ok now we go into the "I am winning the popular vote thing." Um, if you run in a contest, like let's say Michigan, and your opponent's name is not on the ballot, that is only a win in Waziristan.
8:22:Cesca dug up one of Goulet's greatest hits! Watch Castellanos in all his racist glory:
8:25: I got an email with Obama's April FEC Report. Wow:
New donors in April: 200,000
94% of contributions were under $200
93% of contributions were $100 or less
77% of contributions were $50 or less
52% of contributions were $25 or less
Number of donors to the Obama campaign overall at the end of April: 1.475 million
Number of contributions given: 2,929,000 million
Average donation: $91
8:35: Laura Ingraham is having a sisterhood moment. She wants Hillary to stay in the race forevah and evah! I am sure that's comforting to Hillary.
Per CNN: 85%
65% Hillary
31% Obama
8:36: Knocked Up is on HBO. But I'd rather be watching Candy Crowley.
8:44: Wolf Blitzer reminds us that the polls are not closing in Oregon for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Could they have picked two primary states that closed their polls further apart?
8:48: 90% - Hillary 65% Obama 30%
8:50: It's John McCain's bedtime
9:07:In the Kentucky Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate nomination:
Lunsford 268,208. 51%
Fischer 178,957. 34%
It's looking like Lunsford will be the nominee. That high-pitched noise you just heard is Mitch McConnell getting gaseous. For once he will have an opponent with the resources to fight back against his smears.
9:15: If I never hear the phrases "blue-collar voter" or "white working-class voter" again it will be too soon. We need a new obsession for rich media elites. Can we bring the Macarena back?

Terry McAuliffe is a tool.
7:06 Hey! I drink Sanka, and I did NOT vote for Hillary! But not in Kentucky. And Hill is only up 5% in Kentucky? If so, isn’t Obama beating the spread?
7:11 Brit Hume is a vampire? Or was it just spittle?

Omega Woman?
David Gregory says “superdelegates are waiting” but that’s actually not the case.
Fuck McAuliffe.
A little gnarly today.
You rang?
Oh, jeez, Michele Bernard, self-hating woman.
Didn’t someone spy on Brit Hume years ago??? Oh, yeah….I bet they’ve got something on him to this day that keeps him in line…from Wiki:
“As a reporter for Anderson’s column, Hume uncovered an internal corporate memo indicating that the 1972 Republican National Convention had been underwritten by ITT Corporation and that, in exchange, an antitrust case had been conveniently dropped by the Nixon White House shortly thereafter. Later, Anderson published a series of classified documents indicating the Nixon administration, contrary to its public pronouncements, had tipped in favor of Pakistan during its 1971 war with India. After those revelations, Anderson and his staff, including Hume, his wife and children were placed under surveillance by the Central Intelligence Agency.[3] The agents code-named Hume “eggnog” and observed his family going about their daily business. This came to light during the Ford administration during Congressional hearings, and more recently as the result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.”
‘Splains a lot.
The Clintons are a brand and they want to sell it and make lots of money and at the same time have power and fun and be president and all good things like that and so do carville and the rest of the team.
Obama has sliced and diced the Clintons and unwrapped them for all to see. Folks, the Clintons will try and destroy our party, you just wait and see. And please do not fall for hugs and smiles at the DNC. The Clintons bear Democrats no good will,
heydare sweets how ya feelin?
Buchanan says Hillary Clinton has an army now. Don’t tell Fred Barnes!
IVE DISCOVERED…Almond flour…for us carb challenged
Presscot Bush bought the media for JUNIOR and Co. way back when
What on earth does Pat mean? I’m serious - if she has an army, they lost the war.
I love how they keep saying Obama has to “work harder” to get votes in WV and Kentucky….right. It’s all Obama’s fault…no problem that they won’t vote for an African American…if they would vote for McCain instead..then, being a woman or a man isn’t the issue. D’Oh…
Between picking up Yang’s ashes and Laura Flanders’ interview about the Haditha film I’m tryin’ not to punch holes in walls or break anything.
Gnarly, just plain gnarly.

Joe Scarborough is now on MSNBC talking about “when I had problems politically….” I wonder if he’ll mention the dead intern in his office? That was certainly a problem.
oh now INTERNKILLER is on
(((SouthernDragon & Yang)))
okay what can i watch….Appalaicha has mebbe 500,000 voters max
We all thank the goddess that Barack Obama is not listening to your advice, Harold Ford.
I haven’t yet figured out how it speaks so well of her that she has the ignorant bigot vote! You’d think she’d have some shame, especially since those are McPaid’s votes in the fall.
It’s only 4:30 here next door to Orygun.
ok switched to VERTIGO…blood pressure just went down
No Democratic candidate for President has won white working class voters since 1964, but that’s a fact you won’t hear tonight.
true dat,want a slice of low carb cheesecake?
ya’ll mufukers are goofy
im done abusing myself with cable snooooooze
OK, I get it– or rather, Kos gets it:
Bob in HI
Thanks, I needed that.
Why not just import the comments from any of the other 8 zillion frickin primaries. The TV is gonna be the same and so are the comments.
Ok, you’re in charge of changing the subject.
Anybody for a game of double deck pinochle?
Ooh! you can do that toobularly?
Beer O’clock is rapidly approaching.
Don’t I wish. I’d never get off this damn machine.
It’s not the subject, if fact I don’t think the tv people are the subject. What I think is hilarious is that someone will surely start bitching about KO being a sellout because he doesn’t do his special comment deal when he is in this position.
Ever play tonk?
omg
someone tell me again how Obama has this thing wrapped up!
puhhhhleeeeeeze!
You have to be kidding! The guy is a cipher. My gosh!
Murcan beer sux.
oh it’s been here for a while *hic*
Todd said, “it’s freshman stats”!
Well, geez, Chris Matthews and KO already told us that!
ok im pouring
http://news.thomasnet.com/IMT/.....m%20going%
Now that is very true.
Not in a looooooong time. Fun game. Tonk and pinochle. Lotta money changed hands on the mess decks at night.
Matthews coming close to predicting a “split decision” three hours before the polls close in Oregon. And yes, there are polls open in Oregon today, even though you could mail your ballot in.
Gosh, I haven’t played that in…I bet 30 years or more. Or double deck canasta either.
Here, watch the fainting goats and tell me they don’t remind you of the American people.
(((Southern Dragon)))

It’s one of those games the brother’s taught me how I could lose my ass at, like dice.

Uncanny resemblance.

That’s why I don’t gamble any more. Got tired of gettin’ cleaned out at tonk and dice. Got my dough back with pinochle, though. Play a wicked hand of pinochle.

I’ll start opening up Finger Lakes Reislings in a minute if anyone wants.
I don’t know if anyone has looked into soba noodles for low carb diets, but I can tell you that in japan, the research says they are aces for diabetics because they don’t raise the blood sugar. They are made from buckwheat, which is not a grain..no gluten.
i used to be addicted to Jlohr chardonnay
Yum!
DFH with bourgeois tastes.
yuuuuuuuuuuuuuum,i shall try it

My fav.

If I could suggest Toad Hallow’s Eye of the Toad Dry Rose, it’s a very nice wine.

Hey, we’re talkin’ decadent bourgeois behaviours here!
Yum..yakisoba. *sighs happily*
Not a grain?? What are they related to then?
My bosses wife eats a can of those things every month. She gives me the empties and I use ‘em to store dried beans and stuff.
what are the Forked tounges spewing now?
Damn, I’m afraid to ask. What’s a Bubba Burger?
smart… i can cheat with those…”g”
Friend of mine said just don’t eat anything white! Honestly we find it pretty effective. Whole grains, lot’s of greens, but people struggle with no pasta, bread or corn. I’ve given up so much stuff that this was easy. So much for the yukin it up booze conversation.
It’s a brand of frozen burgers.
don’t mind if you do!
Indian food is good too
Stuff, uh huh. . .
Ummm, when I was a kid. Tongue samiches.
cindy beer
Oh, and Cliff? We’re not ignoring you. Really.
Actually you’re being rather funny and charming up there tonight.
