McCain Wins, MSNBC Waits

MSNBC did not call the race until 9:17pmET, ironically just as Keith Olbermann was interviewing MSNBC Political Director Chuck Todd on the subject of why MSNBC had not called it for McCain.

> Update: ABC News broke in with an update, calling the victory for McCain at 9:19pmET. NBC News broke into programming with word of the McCain win at 9:24pmET.
