Primary Night Continues updated
 |
Just got back into the stream of what’s going on again, calls and all coming in. C-SPAN was fun, another one coming up at the top of the hour.
Hilarious side note. I’d turned off the phones in my radio
studio, but one evidently was partially plugged in, which I didn’t notice. In
the middle of the interview I got a call and all of a sudden I could hear my
big brother on the line talking exit polls. How fitting. It was all I could
do to keep concentration. Then he started giving details, so I had to break
away for a second to stop the call. Hilarious. Just goes to show you no matter
how much prep there is, something always pops up.
Exit polls look good in Ohio for Clinton, where she looks like to have won
back her base.
As for Texas, small lead in exit polls at the start for Clinton, with polls closing in that state and Rhode Island at the top of the hour.
UPDATE II: News takes precedence over talking head booking times. Huckabee is giving his concession speech. Next McCain will be up, all on C-SPAN 2. I’ll be up after that, some time past 7:00 p.m. pacific – 10:00 p.m. eastern, depending on when McCain finishes and they do a wrap on him.
UPDATE: Just finished part of a call from the Clinton campaign; while waiting for the second round of C-SPAN interviews. The Clinton campaign said sign in sheets were indeed being filled out during the day by Obama team and supporters, according to Clinton’s counsel. The Texas Dem party hotlines are jammed with people calling in. Clinton camp has heard of complaints all day. “All over the state” complaints. “Obama campaign took the precinct captain’s packet,” and they don’t know what was done with it. Clinton camp has precinct numbers. “Numerous locations” where Obama supporters have “locked out” Clinton supporters. “We have lawyers all over the state.” … Wolfson: This is the first time we’ve held a call of this nature. Chaotic is normal. What’s happening in Texas tonight “is not typical.” “Is quite extraordinary.” They then took questions, but I had to get off to get ready for other calls/interviews.
