Why we don't spaz out over early exit polls and returns [Karl]
The negativity of the Pennsylvania Democratic campaign tarnished both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, according to exit poll results. However, Pennsylvania is on its way to the record turnout that election officials have been predicting for weeks, according to poll workers from across the state. Because negative campaigning turns people off, you see. (h/t Memeorandum.)

When a man eats a waffle Can’t keep his mind on nothing else He’ll trade the world For the good thing he’s found If it’s bad he can’t taste it It cannot smell wrong Turn his back on reporters If they thwart him then
Iron Man is coming out; so is Robert Downey, Jr. [Karl]
As the May 2nd release date for Iron Man approaches, the New York Times profiled the rehabbed Robert Downey, Jr., who talks about Tony Stark’s demons and ultimately, his own: “It has struck me lately that I don’t have to talk about last century at all,†he said with a dismissive wave.

Pennsylvania midday update [Karl]
The Field’s Al Giordano (whose earlier beakdown of PA was linked this morning) has a new forecast of Clinton +4.6 as part of a roundup that runs as high as Clinton+12. Electoral math being what it is, the forecasts all have Clinton gaining only four delegates. Of course, as noted this morning, delegate counts may not be known tonight, so people will focus on the popular vote. Giordano also has
Fifty-eighth in a series of real-time empirical observations
In the time it takes you to read this post, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama will spend at least a minute complaining to a throng of reporters about not being able to finish his waffle — in the process, wasting at least a minute he could have spent ignoring those same reporters and quietly finishing his fucking waffle.
