She lost the nomination when she didn’t wrap things up on the first Super Tuesday.

Which begs the counter-question to “Why can’t Obama close the deal?”

Why can’t (couldn’t) Hillary close the deal?

Uh…. McCain couldn’t break 80% in either Indiana…

or North Carolina…

What the fuck? Both states will be close enough that if one in ten Republicans don’t vote for him in November, or worse yet, vote against him, then you can’t win these states. One in ten might be too high, but one in twenty is not. And one in twenty makes it too close to call.

I’m hoping Wellstone will finally admit Clinton is done. He had her winning big in Indiana and coming within 3% in North Carolina. Instead Obama won big in North Carolina and Clinton barely won Indiana.

She lost the nomination when she didn’t wrap things up on the first Super Tuesday. She didn’t have a plan to win the smaller states, and then she didn’t have the resources.

It was over for her the moment she took a page out of Rudy’s playbook and decided to only fight in the big states.

While Edwards was my first choice, Obama has done things I wouldn’t think were possible. We have a candidate who was against the war. And a candidate who was able to kick the Clinton machine’s ass. Now I know why Rethuglicans hate Obama so much. It’s more than just his skin color. It’s because he did something they could never do. He kicked a Clinton’s ass fair and square.

I don’t know what impresses me more, the fact that a candidate can talk to the electorate as though they’re adults and WIN, or that a member of a historically oppressed minority in a democratic country can be elected to represent all the people. (someone said that has never happened) A year ago I wouldn’t have believed in either of those possibilities.

Maybe it’s too early, but I feel like uncorking the champagne.
