Is the fat lady singing?

I think we might finally be nearing the end, folks. Obama is going to come away from tonight with a significant net gain in delegates and votes, which will make the already difficult math become almost impossible for Clinton. Obama might even eek out a victory in Indiana. Either way, I have a hunch tonight's outcome will convince a lot of fence-sitting super delegates to break publicly toward Obama in the next few days. There will be increasing pressure over the next week for Clinton to drop out.

Her plan at this point is clearly to brass it out until next week's West Virginia primary, which she's likely to win, and hope that victory will change the overall narrative. My hope is that she pulls a Romney and drops out tomorrow after the reality of the math settles in. If you remember, Romney gave a glass-half-full, we're going all the way to the convention type of speech on the night of Super Tuesday only to announce that he was dropping out the very next day.

Unfortunately, I don't think the Clintons give up so easily. They're still hoping that lightning will strike, the Obama campaign will implode, and they'll be the last ones standing.

Here's hoping they surprise everyone and do what's best for the party.

On an unrelated note, I'm sure you've noticed my complete lack of posts recently. Unfortunately, my job has been exceptionally busy of late. The good news, though, is that my responsibilities will change once again toward the end of the summer (just in time for the general election) and I should have a lot more opportunity to post.
