Newsflash To The Pundits: Obama Closed The Deal In February...Hillary Just Didn't Bow Out

Has anybody else found it funny that pundits keep asking "why can't Obama close the deal!?"

The fact is, he closed the deal in February when he won 12 contests in a row, Hillary just chose to stay in it. He mathematicly shut the door on her at that time and just because she decided to fight on doesn't mean he didn't wrap up the nomination.

In the month of February Obama gained an insurmountable pledge delegate lead, and it's pledge delegates that elect the nominee, therefore he closed the deal. That's all there is to it. Democrats aren't going to blow up the party by overthrowing the will of the voters, and only pledged delegates acurately reflect the true will of the voters. You think the people of Michigan and Florida are pissed because they feel disenfranchised? Just wait and see what happens if the super delegates disenfranchise the ENTIRE NATION by overturning the pledged delegates. It's not going to happen.

So the next time you hear someone ask "Why can't Obama close the deal?" Just remind them this thing was game, set, match, months ago.

No candidate this far behind in every measurable statistic has ever been allowed this much airtime to slime the probable nominee.

ever asks that.

if SHE wants to close the deal--at least, that's what she HAD to do before her superdelegate lead sank into the teens.

Hillary has definitely been behind, and will likely lose the nom, but the margin is quite narrow. Her 12 straight losses showed great weakness on her part, but it wasn't enough to get her out, since she could stall until Ohio and PA.

for Obama. Definitely a cushion for him, but not a wide lead by any means. I've gone back to the 1940's and cannot find another primary race as close as this one.

winner works. Soon we'll know. My candidate better.. :D

would be obama, and mccain today would be ahead of obama by 15 to 20 points and would never lose his lead...

you might wish to thank hrc for staying in this race because if another shoe drops against obama on top of this pastor wright crap then obama is toast and we still have a candidate that will win against mccain.
