This one was close for a while, but Manchin started to pull away after he made some ads that targeted Obama and his health care bill. That apparently helped him with independents and moderate Dems. Here’s more from TPM: We now have a result in a key red state — where Democrats have been saved [...]
No surprises here. A total of 23 electoral votes. Still…losing Pennsylvania was a killer. Tweet
The only good news here for McCain is that West Virginia is still in his corner. Still, that’s only a single digit lead and these are all states that Bush carried in 2004. Nevada: +5 Obama Obama 51% McCain 46% North Carolina: +4 Obama Obama 51% McCain 47% Ohio: +4 Obama Obama 50% McCain 46% [...]

The former KKK member (a long, long, long time ago) and West Virginia senator sends a symbolic message to the Democrats in his state who vote overwhelmingly for Hillary. From WVGazette.com: “As people all across this great nation know, I have been one of the most outspoken opponents of the Bush administration’s misguided war in [...]
That’s what the exit polls are suggesting and MSNBC just called it. If that holds up, she’ll get 19 delegates and he’ll get about 9. So +10 for her tonight is likely. By the way, if she got 75% of the remaining pledged delegates, she’d have to get 80% of the remaining superdelegates to catch [...]
