Tuesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Lots of news today.

All the polls in South Dakota will be closed by 9 p.m. Eastern (there are two time zones - Central and Mountain -- in the state). In Montana, the polls close at 8:00 p.m. Mountain/10 p.m. Eastern.

Looks like we'll actually have a nominee very soon. Democratic Convention Watch has the magic number for Obama down to 38. We'll monitor that through the day. Rep. Clyburn announced his support on the TODAY Show this morning -- and even Terry McAuliffe seemed to get that it was over -- in that weird overly animated style of his.

Also, very good reports about Senator Kennedy's surgery.

So, with that, get started....
