MSNBC: 20 min on why Rmoney lost.

Laughing my frikken' butt off.

Rachel, Tweety, Rev Al, Big Ed, O'Donnell paying no attention to the pretense that it's not over. Only the Repuke John Heilemann using words like, "If it happens...".

After all of this time trying to make the race out to be close (well, with the exception of Rachel), they just give up all pretense and call Mitt a loser? I mean, I'm happy to see anyone peeing on Mitt's face, but it all feels weird to me.

The mood was electric and you could feel the excitement building all afternoon. He was speaking with Olbermann that afternoon before any results were in and was pretty much told "we know what's going to happen." The mood changed when the results started coming in...

Assuming the exit polls are accurate - they know who's won - but watch their moods and body language after the polls close.
