Yak yak yak from the talking heads

I'm estimating that the unemployment rate is going to climb an extra percentage point in November since there must be at least a couple million talking heads and reporters covering this year's election. And we surely won't need them around once the election is over?

Right. :-)

Obama's won North Carolina, and it appears likely that he'll take a sizeable majority of its 115 delegates. Hillary is winning more narrowly in Indiana with its 72.

Looks like Obama will pad both his popular vote and delegate leads.

MSNBC's exit polling in Indiana indicates Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos is probably not playing a role (as Republicans appear to be voting in about the same breakdown as Democrats). But interestingly, Republicans in the exit polls chose Obama (58%) as more likely to beat McCain in November than Hillary (37%).

So the race most likely goes on. And the talking heads (and we bloggers :-) will keep blathering.

(If you're wondering why I'm sitting here on the couch listening to the cable news chatter, I'm too exhausted to do anything else. I was up late finishing a difficult organic chemistry take-home quiz last night. Happily, I researched all the physician's assistant programs in California and Nevada, and none of them require more than one semester of ochem. I had already registered for ochem II this summer... I dropped it so fast it would make your head spin!).
