Is It Over Yet?

I watched the North Carolina and Indiana primary results on Tuesday night on CNN at the airport in Minneapolis on my way back from Philadelphia. I was happy to see Obama blowing Clinton away in North Carolina and losing narrowly in Indiana. I had guessed that the margin for Obama would be narrower in NC, and the margin for Clinton would be bigger in Indiana. I had resigned myself to a bitter fight all the way to the convention.

But now it seems that the pundits and observers have decided the race is over, and it's only a matter of how it will end. Even Hillary has cooled her jets somewhat. Even though she says she's still in the race, I think she's looking for a graceful way out.

We can only hope.
