Future-Blogging the Final Primary Night

Why live-blog when you can future-blog? Here's what you'll see on the news tonight (all times Central Daylight):

8:00 p.m.: Last polls in South Dakota (Mountain Time Zone) close.

8:08 p.m.: CNN calls South Dakota for Clinton based on exit polls held thanks to suspension of South Dakota law (just wondering: does this suspension also mean we can electioneer within 100 feet of the polls wihtout fear of arrest?).

9:00 p.m.: Polls in Montana close.

9:01 p.m.: 107 superdelegates, including President Jimmy Carter, officially endorse Senator Barack Obama.

9:09 p.m.: CNN calls Montana for Obama.

9:24 p.m.: Obama takes the stage in St. Paul, claims victory, thanks Mrs. Clinton for a hard-fought campaign.

9:51 p.m.: Clinton takes the stage in New York City, voice hoarse, eyes New Hampshire misty, and suspends her presidential campaign. Says to supporters, "We couldn't have made it this far without you, and we can't make it in November without you," eliciting roar from crowd aimed directly at St. Paul and marking beginning of the Clinton campaign for the Vice-Presidency.

10:48 p.m.: Final results from Montana: Obama wins 55%-45%.

5:23 a.m. Wednesday: Last South Dakota results trickle in: Clinton wins, 53%-47%. South Dakota receives last mention in national news until October, when Hillary Clinton returns to Madison to campaign against the retread abortion ban (she makes no mention on that trip of either Obama or his running mate, Governor Kathleen Sebelius).
