Gee, I seem to recall someone (one particular) suggesting that Obama was falling back to Earth and that Hillary was widening the gap and gaining strength. In fact, there were some loco comments in this article: Hillary campaign insists on changing rules after the fact
So do the results that came in INdiana or North Carolina reflect that change? If so, uh, gee, I seem to be missing it.
In fact, now there are headlines showing up saying things like:
(From Drudge: Hillary plans to huddle with undecided super delegates tomorrow; gauging if she can go on... Developing...)
Or these results from the end of the evening:
NC [99% PRECINCTS]
OBAMA 888,979 56%
CLINTON 655,482 41%
IN [95% PRECINCTS]
CLINTON 606,497 51%
OBAMA 589,888 49%
So where exactly was that loss of momentum for Obama? Where was the gain for Hillary Clinton?
Even if Hillary Clinton somehow convinces the DNC to count the votes which shouldn't be counted (Florida and Michigan) she's virtually done. She needed a blowout in Indiana and even with Republican voters casting votes for her in the hopes of keeping the race going on the Democratic side she still didn't get a convincing win there. Most likely it'll be another of those phyrric victories where she can claim to have gotten the majority of the popular vote but then loses in the candidate count thanks to the screwey math that the Democrats are using.
In North Carolina (a big state that the Democrats need to win in the general election) the situation is completely hopeless. 15% margin in Obama's favor and a likely serious blowout in the delegate count going to him.
Hillary Clinton may stay in the race a little longer but the outcome has been known for a while and even attempting to plaster him as a racist in the vein of Rev. Wright hasn't derailed him.
Been nice knowin' you as a potential President Mrs. Clinton. Now slink off to your spot in the Senate and go back to doing, well, nothing to help the country.
