What more is there to say? We can only surmise that Barack Obama is bitterly disappointed because he couldn't finish off Hillary in Pennsylvania, and I agree with the conventional wisdom that he is favored to win in North Carolina, and that Sen. Clinton appears to be ahead in Indiana. When push comes to shove, the two leading Democratic candidates are not too far apart on the issues. If Obama wins the presidency, he would be the most idealistic President since Jimmy Carter, maybe even Woodrow Wilson. Word to the wise: idealism counts for nothing if your enemies are eating you alive.
Elizabeth Kolbert sums up the situation nicely in her New Yorker article.
UPDATE: Former Sen. McGovern and other well-known Democrats are hinting to Hillary that her run for the presidency this year is over, and that she should yield to Obama.
