Okay, Team Clinton, admit it: The game didn't change. It's really over.
Stop the negative campaigning. And, break it to Hillary and Bill.

The Democratic nominating process has been decided for a couple months. But, the Clinton campaign, the pundits and the wimpy superdelegates have let it go on too long. But, tonight, it's over. For real.

Hillary Clinton told us North Carolina would be a "game changer":

This primary election on Tuesday is a game changer. This is going to make a huge difference in what happens going forward. The entire country – probably even a lot of the world is looking to see what North Carolina decides.


The entire world saw it. Now, the Clinton campaign needs to see it. And, someone needs to tell the candidate. Her speech tonight was delusional -- and embarrassing. She can't and won't be the nominee. (And, for all her feigned concern about counting all the votes, the then-presumptive nominee said the race would be over by February 5th.)

Over the next couple days, the Clinton team over in Arlington need to do some serious thinking. They've all done their best for their candidate. Too many times, however, they've actually aided and abetted the GOP. That has to end. It's time to stop the ugly conference calls and the negative ads. It's time to stop disparaging the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama.

Barack Obama gave a speech tonight that defined his candidacy -- and started the general election campaign against John McCain. We're all ready for that battle. It's time for Hillary Clinton and her crew to join us. Help us send Hillary and her staff a message. Help us tell Hillary that we don't appreciate her trying to destroy our party, trying to make John McCain the next president. Join us in donating to Obama for President and sending Hillary a final message: It's time for her to go. Click the box at left to donate to Obama's campaign. You can give Obama up to $2300 for the primary race, and another $2300 for the general election race against McCain (that includes any donations you may have already given to Obama elsewhere). Please donate and send a message that enough is enough. It's over.

Yeah, as we watched on CNN it was finally apparent that it's now between Barack and McLame. Can we all just finally move on?

5. I doubt there will be a curtain call.
Those getting a head start for the exits are wise. Best to avoid the traffic.

6. Over?? Nothing is over until WE say it's over!! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??
"Germans??"
"Forget it, Hillary's rolling!!"

I expect if Hillary doesn't get the nomination, she'll sabotage the Inaugural Parade with a "Deathmobile" disgused as an "Eat Me" float.
