I missed McCain’s speech to deal with a crying baby. (He put a lot of money on a Romney win.)

Two things jumping out at me – McCain’s lead is now inching up to 5 percent, which is not exactly the close finish many of us expected. Jen Rubin calls it “not a landslide, but impressive considering Romney’s financial advantage.”

Also, I notice that in a state where no Democratic candidate campaigned, where name recognition counted for even more than usual… Hillary’s “impressive victory” still has her at about 50 percent of the vote. It’s 17 percent ahead of Obama.
