Obama takes North Carolina and only barely loses Indiana, narrowing Hillary's hopes to the 366 phantom delegates from Michigan and Florida.
  • Oblivion seems an unfair and inaccurate cut -- that from an Obama supporter

    It's mighty hard to see how either of the Clintons could be consigned to oblivion. Other than physically, the grim reaper couldn't pull that off himself. After all, Hillary remains a sitting US senator and will no doubt continue to be as long as she seeks the office. If Obama fails to best McCain -- a decided possibility -- she remains a viable presidential candidate in four years.

    Much as I admire Salon's journalism, this headline verges on the kind of media coverage of which the Clintons have so bitterly complained. It's been obvious for some time that Hillary was unlikely to be our next president. But riding off into sweet oblivion is hardly Clintonian.
