It's Over... Isn't it?
It's hard to see how Hillary Clinton can possibly go on after the results from North Carolina and Indiana. She just cancelled any appearances on the morning news shows (perhaps regretting her premature victory lap speech in Indianapolis), and the money funnel is almost certainly going to run dry starting right about now. And if I'm right about this, something historic has happened this evening.
For the first time ever, the United States has an African American as the presumptive nominee for a major party in the election for President.
I have no idea if he'll win. (I'm remembering that last summer, I predicted that the candidates would be John Edwards and Mitt Romney. Good thing I ask the questions rather than answer them.) And I would not dare to endorse or deride his candidacy.
But right now, it's 20 minutes after midnight on May 7, 2008, and Barack Obama finally has the math working for him in just about every direction.
What a remarkable moment.
