6:00 PM: Well it looks like this is the end, with the AP already calling the nomination for Obama while Hillary has openly stated that she wouldn't mind being Obama's Veep. Still I've been covering most of these all along so I'm back for one last live blog. This one will probably be heavier on the commentary and lighter on the number crunching than in the past, although I'm also following the New Mexico GOP Senate Primary which is expected to be extremely close. As an added bonus there's actually a halfway decent chance of drunk blogging late tonight which will probably amuse those used to my typically teetotaling tendencies. I probably won't be back until around 9 unless MSNBC gets weird enough for me to comment upon. And since Tweety referred to Hillary's desire to be VP as a dance of death that will probably be the case. No matter what this will be a historic night.
One last thing if for some reason you're reading this on facebook, you should probably visit my actual blog as it will update more frequently than the syndicated version.
