“While Obama, the junior senator from Illinois, lost to New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton by a close two percentage points in the Indiana primary, people around the nation and elsewhere might as well go ahead and admit that he’s unofficially got the Democractic nomination for president, signed, sealed and delivered. And even while Clinton declared in Charleston, W.Va., Thursday that she intends to move forward with her presidential campaign, she might as well go ahead and admit that it’s time to crown Obama as the Democratic nominee. That’s especially true after she was routed in the North Carolina Democratic primary the same day she narrowly beat Obama in Indiana. … So will Clinton be Obama’s running mate in the general election, as many Democrats seem to want? Don’t look for that to happen.” (05/11/08)
