Election night, May 13 edition

The polls have barely closed in West Virginia, and already the networks are calling the Mountain State for Hillary Clinton, who was expected to win by a huge margin there. Look for Clinton to get about 19 delegates to nine for Barack Obama. Obama will still be ahead by some 150 pledged delegates after tonight.

With that one a done deal, I'm most interested in the outcomes of these two races: the special election in Mississippi's 1st District, where Democrat Travis Childers has a chance to beat the GOP's Greg Davis, and the Nebraska Senate primary, where 2006 netroots candidate and former Club for Growth target Scott Kleeb is running against Dem-in-Name-Only rival Tony Raimondo. It looks like there'll be plenty of live blogging action on these races at Swing State Project (MS) and Daily Kos. Both ought to give us a good idea of how strong the Dem wave may be in November, and how progressive Dems are faring in Republican areas.

Now, if you live in Ada County, go have a look at the voter info card the elections department just mailed out. (I got mine today. You can click the pic to enlarge it.) At least on mine, the legislative district and congressional district are flipped. Oh, if only we had 17 CDs in Idaho ...

Update 6:45 p.m.: On tips from Tara, we've learned that Bill Sali won't debate his GOP primary rival and Matt Yost has dropped his bid to get on the ballot in District  15.

Update 10:25 p.m.: Democrat Travis Childers won the MS-01 - a district George Bush won with 63% of the vote in 2004 - by eight points today. Let that be a signal for what could happen in Idaho this fall. Meanwhile, Scott Kleeb vanquished his DINO foe in the Democratic primary in Nebraska by a two-to-one margin.
