Someone has to say it
Barry Obama says he's still got the delegate lead. He does. And the press seems impressed that Hill got off the mat, but fixated on the fact that she cannot catch Barry's delegate totals without winning a large majority of the outstanding votes (read: she can't catch him).
This misses the point entirely.
Hillary will not cinch the nomination based on pledged delegates.
And neither will Obama.
Superdelegates will decide this Dem race, unless something really damaging comes out.
If Obama gets more votes, more states, and more pledged delegates, and Hillary comes away with the nomination, won't that be a fun narrative. The party that cries "voter suppression!" every 4 years will have engineered their winner in a smoke filled room.

Sit back and enjoy the ride. In particular, enjoy the fact that they will have to spend down their large pools of money as well as launch bloodying attacks on each other for the next few months, all of which play into McCain's hands.
I had not heard Barack referred to as "Barry.". It makes him seem less threatening.
At the risk of helping the opposition, may I suggest he also go with the added apostrophe in the last name--Barry O'Bamaseems like an average joe!
Barry O'Bama, huh? I'd be quiet about that one. With the viral nature of news on the net, you'll get an email by next week from some address like 34456 [at] RealIrishNotScotsIrish.com, proclaiming Senator O'Bama as the only true God-fearing Church-loving candidate in this race.
