Forget about the "He Can't Close the Deal" malarky...

...because I assure you, on November 5th, after winning the Popular and Electoral Vote by a higher percentage than anyone since Bill Clinton in 1992, the usual talking heads are still going to be saying that.

It's a race thing, and it may not go away for awhile. But that doesn't mean he won't become our next President.

1. What exactly does "close the deal" mean? He's won two debates,

connects enormously with his supporters, on and on. I don't get that...

8. Didn't we hear the same thing in primary season?

No offense intended to Clinton supporters, but I recall hearing that Obama could not close the deal when his eventual nomination was almost sewn up mathematically. He is in a similar position now. The odds are overwhelmingly in his favor and the wind is at his back. Is it possible for him to lose? Yes. Is it probable? Hell, no.
