Ostrow: Indiana gets cabled

JOANNE OSTROW reporting...

What a great night for long-winded pundits! With hours and hours to fill while awaiting conclusive numbers, the media ran with speculation, possible long-term scenarios, interpretations of speeches, replays of body language and Bill Clinton background shots plus county by county prognostications.

All that and Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann singing "Gary, Indiana," too. (Not as strong as David Archuletta doing 'Stand By Me' on "Idol.)

When the cable stars exhausted the guessing game, they looked to the future. "Fast forward a week, what are we going to say then?" Brit Hume asked a Fox News panel.

No question, "American Idol" is having a dull season by comparison. (If I had to speculate, I'd say when the absentee votes in Lake County, IN, are counted, David Cook will seal the deal.)

The lawyers are going to be looking at it," an exhausted-seeming Wolf Blitzer concluded on CNN.
