But speaking of tears, what about poor Hillary, rejected today by the Democratic primary voters of Virginia, the District of Columbia and Maryland? I just hope this misunderstood, unappreciated woman has the resolve to fight on, though God knows the party doesn’t deserve her. She’s given 35 years of her life to public service, she’s been forced to endure public humiliation at the hand of her feckless husband, and look at the thanks she gets–abandoned once again for someone younger and more orally talented.

And a word about exit polls. First time voters are often sucked into exit polling processes thinking it’s part of the election process. That means the supposed in roads media reports for Obama are really a measure of first time voter experiences over generalized onto the popular vote. It’s one of the first national elections where they do not have a system wide standard for exit polling and rely on the data as a definitive view of national trends.
