'We Now Know Who the Nominee Will Be'



Pundits Declare the Race Over

Excerpt:

The moment came shortly after midnight Eastern time, captured in a devastatingly declarative statement from Tim Russert of NBC News: “We now know who the Democratic nominee’s going to be, and no one’s going to dispute it,” he said on MSNBC. “Those closest to her will give her a hard-headed analysis, and if they lay it all out, they’ll say, ‘What is the rationale? What do we say to the undeclared super delegates tomorrow? Why do we tell them you’re staying in the race?’ And tonight, there’s no good answer for that.”

Comment: See this interesting post: For Hillary to Win, She Must Drop Out

Excerpt:

Hillary can’t win on delegates; she must win on narrative, and no conceivable narrative gives her the momentum or leverage to convince the superdelegates if she remains in the race. If she wants to win, if she hopes to prove that Obama really can’t, in any circumstances, win working class whites, she must drop out. So that she can attempt to rise from the ashes after West Virginia. It’s still a huge long-shot, but it’s frankly the only hint of a hope she has left.

  1. It's coming close to kicking someone out and leaving the finalists......Hmm, speaking of kicking people out. Howcome over at another website (to remain nameless) I get kicked off for making stupid satirical comments, but others can argue for things like evolution, expound upon where Protestantism is a failure, and talk about very mature and racy subjects? And they're being serious and not even trying to be satirical!...........Lol, I should probably just let it go like Hilary should, too.
