Friends, it is over.

[kentuck]

Barack Obama has won the most states, the most delegates, and the popular vote. Even with MI and FL in her column, Hillary cannot win. Her huge win in PA just a couple weeks ago has been surpassed by Obama's victory in NC tonight. If she had held him to single digits in NC and had won by a larger margin in Indiana, she would still have had a slim chance of overtaking Obama in the popular vote. From here, there is no argument to carry to the super delegates. Hillary and her supporters have fought a valiant and historic fight. Without the fight, Obama would not have had a chance against the Republicans in the fall. He has now been tempered by the hot heat of battle. Friends, it is over...

1. Gobama! It's a GREAT night.

[ShortnFiery]

2. Yes, Obama and especially those people "on the ground" in NC and IN did EXCELLENT!

Kudos to NC and IN (regardless of who wins) who volunteered for Obama.

Yes, I think we have the next President of The United States.

Go Obama. :patriot:

[Th1onein]

[JackBeck]

14. Are you serious?

what's your plan for a Democrat to win the White House, while gaining seats in Congress?

[krkaufman]

18. Please try to read the OP. The poster clearly knows this ...

... and the "over" reference was obviously scoped to the Dem nomination battle.

[kentuck]

24. Right.

The big battle has not even begun yet.

[OzarkDem]

22. With Obama at the top of the ticket

forget November. Its not going to happen. He's split the Dem party and can't carry swing voters.

[BlooInBloo]

7. Not until she says it's over, it isn't.

8. Friends who?

"Hillary and her supporters have fought a valiant and historic fight."

Triumphalism is showing around here.

[kentuck]

10. It is reality.

Not triumphalism.

[Tinksrival]

12. Please let it be!

VP TALK!

[EmeraldCityGrl]

13. I called Indiana irrelevant...shut my mouth!

17. we all hate it, but go look at Drudge's headline

[bhikkhu]

19. I don't read crap. But what is it?

[barack the house]

20. That is a phenomenal summary of events. K&R

[LVjinx]

23. True. For the sake of party unity, I urge FL and MI be seated, It won't effect the outcome now.

Obama's lead is insurmountable. But making the gesture will ease bad feelings in those states, give Hillary more delegates to feel good about, and show that Obama is gracious in victory. We will need a unified party in November, and there is no measure (pop vote, pledged delegate, what have you) by which Hillary can win. So our focus must become - restoration.

[madrchsod]

25. one state will put her over the top--- puerto rico

[kentuck]

26. She is strong in Puerto Rico...

and if Michigan votes were given to Hillary and none were given to Obama, she coud possibly pull ahead in the popular vote in PR...But it ain't gonna happen.

[verges]

27. Puerto Rico isn't a state. n/t
