The Nominee

After weeks of hammering Barack Obama for failing to "close the deal," Hillary Clinton has been unable to close it herself. Not only was she hammered in North Carolina, as expected, but Clinton barely pulled out a narrow win in Indiana -- one of the blue-collar states she was expected to win handily.

I think the deal has been closed. The only question is whether Clinton will throw her support behind Barack Obama for President this week and regain some credibility and influence, or wait until the convention and put the final nail in her political career.

This morning at the breakfast table, Daddy told Sarah (pro-Hillary) and Darren (pro-Obama) that their candidates-of-choice each won one state in last night's primaries. Think six-year-old Sarah summed it up with borderline Chuck Todd-ian insight, "Well then who REALLY won?" (Granted, I think she'll be displeased with the pending answer...)
