Alright, Obama supporters can now go back to taking any chance they get to take potshots at Clinton, although I'd prefer them posting in a blog that actually discusses the pros and cons of the candidates.
Really? Then why are you taking pot shots at Obama supporters (for not apparent reason I might add). Seems rather hypocritical to me.
As for the exit polls, the issue is that the results were within the margin of error, that is they weren't statistically significant. In fact several polls had Obama winning.
No, it's not too early. Contrary to popular myths, election polls almost always get the winner right, even if they're way off on the margin. Furthermore, exit polls are considered in many countries more accurate than official counts due to issues like mechanical/procedural failures and plain fraud. The Florida incident is mischaracterized as an exit poll failure, when news media recount of the entire state showed Al Gore had indeed won.
It's time we get other countries to monitor our voting booths. The more informed people know all about black-box voting and other shenanigans. All those broken machines and long lines would not be acceptable in other developed countries.

Maybe they could discuss Hillary's most recent threat, just this morning, to "obliterate" Iran.
The importance of it being too close to call is that Clinton needed a huge win. The fact that it was too close to call (i.e. within the margin of error of the exit polls) meant that whatever the outcome, Clinton didn't do what she needed to do. She didn't get a big win and won't pick up significant numbers of delegates.
Nice to read you.
I think you missed Olberman's point.
He is aware of the fact that nobody should be debating the significance of the race not being called 22 minutes after the polls closed. This is why he was asking how the campaigns will be spinning that non-important fact. Get it?
He said something downright nonsensicle to Rachel Maddow.
What a pill.
