Last night, while analyst (and former McCain adviser) Mike Murphy was talking about how he believes the Clintons secretly back McCain — making the grand claim to Chris Matthews that Hillary would even vote for McCain — Keith Olbermann said in an open mike, "Let’s wrap him up."

I’ve heard from a source with knowledge of the situation that Murphy — technically an NBC analyst, not MSNBC — is going to focus on network shows like "Meet the Press" and "Today," and is unlikely to appear during MSNBC’s convention night coverage.

The NY Post reported yesterday that Olbermann was keeping Murphy off the air Monday. Murphy also didn’t appear on Tuesday.
