4. Maybe it's because they think people will stay tuned
till Obama speaks and then turn off the set.

8. I'm really starting to think it's because people will stay tuned, yes.

if they go earlier they can hope that people will see them and tune out before he speaks.

6. Because he won the most states and delegates tonight.....
....makes him the ST winner.... no matter how people like Murky try to spin it. 22 states.... a week ago, Hillary was favored in 18 of them. Obama has won at least 12. ...and he'll take more delegates. ...and the next several states are his to lose. ...and he is overflowing with cash, and the Clinton campaign is facing a cash shortage. It's all going toward Obama now....

12. That kind of comment is not acceptable
If Obama wins the nomination, he will need the votes of all the Hillary supporters. You don't do Obama any favors by insulting his opponent tonight.
