We have gotten a couple tips about this, and we went back and checked. At about 8:12 on MSNBC, Chris Matthews said, jokingly: "Well we’re having a little bit of fun here tonight with the opportunity of Republican conventioneers to arrive at the airport out there and immediately go to the Larry Craig Memorial Bathroom and check in and let everybody know they know some history. Then go to the bridge that fell down in St. Paul, there’s a lot of celebrate for the Republican conventioneers as they get together." Red Lasso coming next hour!...

CNN's Yellin reports that Obama called Clinton's aide Huma Abedin and left her a voicemail. Voicemail? Wouldn't you check the caller ID and answer that one??

Russert talks about the role the media can play "to talk about the big issues" and "big differences" netween the candidates and not get caught up in the little things that the 527s will try to exploit.

Anderson hands off to Larry King. Dan Abrams picks up on MSNBC and FNC is reairing its 10pmET hour. And with that, the TVNewsers bid you a good night and thanks for reading along with us during our live blogging of primary nights over the last several months. We'll see you for the conventions, the debates and election night, Nov. 4. And check back tomorrow for post primary follow up stories.
