Polls close at 4:30 PST and I predict the state will be...

That song always works for me when I'm trying to dislodge another song from my brain. Which is strange because it is the world's most annoying song.

Which is a very very good sign that it's over, thank FSM.

That, to me, is the real sign that she knows Obama has the numbers. She had to keep campaigning, since everyone knew she was easily going to win WV.

My guess is that she will drop out after Obama trounces her in Oregon.

Oh, and thanks, Eli. Now I've got that goddamned John Denver song stuck in my head too. :-/
