Her last victory was in PR, if Poblano's stats are solid.

The general has begun.

They are trying to get supers to switch right now to try to spin the media story to fairly ignore she has a blow out in SD, which is possible.  

Congratulations Senator Obama!!!

Onto the general election!

Since SD isn't going to be competitive in the general and MT probably won't be either, all the attention to what Clinton voters think of Obama there is just fluff. Hillary certainly shouldn't be the VP. She adds nothing but baggage to the ticket.

What I really want to know isn't will we come together as a party, but when will we come together?  What's the reunification timeline going to be, I wonder?  

And how are we going to handle the fraction of "Democrats" who will inevitably declare they will never ever support Obama and start advocating McCain?

The supercilious smarm of the Clintonista apologistas will not go rewarded.
Neither pass "Veep" nor collect $20 million.

It's amazing how "public opinion" one week is that growing number of supporters in each camp will not vote for the other, and yet, overnight, and just in time for a new addition to the Obama narrative, "public opinion" has completely resolved itself and now only a small minority will not vote for their opponent.

I guess everyone just had a revelation all at once.

The river card is out.  No more outs.

A lot of the guys throwing money at the pot as-if they were 100% committed suddenly fold.

That's just the way the game is played.

It'd be cool of Clinton to come on and give her speech right after McCain begins his. That would be a sign of democratic unity I think...  to cut into McCain's speech. He's going to try to speak to her disgruntled supporters so she'd take away that audience.

Some of the exit numbers I've seen suggest a narrow Clinton win in South Dakota, but I think Obama probably led in the early voting (I think they've been able to vote for a while), so it looks like it will be close. Of course, exit polls suck, so who really knows.

Montana looks pretty safe for Obama.

I don't think it's going to matter all that much if Clinton wins South Dakota, since the coverage seems more interested in discussing Obama's delegate victory than the particular results from tonight's primaries.

In any case, big congratulations to Clinton on such a strong finish. She (and the whole Clinton family) outcampaigned him, for sure. I know that Obama deliberately shifted to GE mode and chose to concentrate on GE swing states, but Clinton's victories remain real and impressive.

But, ultimately, it's a great night for the Obama campaign. It was quite an upset.

a dream deferred.

As a Clinton fan, whoopee.  Just reporting it.

I don't ever watch Fox, but their election coverage is better than CNN, which has this bunch of no-nothings.  (Like Suzanne Malveaux, who went from doing dog and cat stories in DC to the national stage.)

Chris Wallace just said McCain speech was poorly delivered.  Rove agrees.  I thought it was quite poor.

On Karl Rove -- I think he is looking forward, as to how he'll make money for the rest of his life.  I think he's a very good commentator and wants that as a career.  He speaks more cleanly than many seasoned talking heads.  He can think on his feet.  Too bad his politics are so evil.  But he's a very good analyst.
