Is it over?

MANIFESTO

According to this morning's Washington Post,

After failing to win the decisive sweep in North Carolina and Indiana that could have reshaped the Democratic race, disappointed aides to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton conceded it would be difficult for her to catch Sen. Barack Obama in either delegates or overall votes in the six remaining contests.

[Of course, t]he outcome caused the candidate and her campaign to intensify their efforts to persuade party leaders to include the results of disqualified contests in Michigan and Florida, both of which she won. The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws committee is scheduled to meet on May 31 to consider two challenges pending on whether, and how, to seat delegates from those states.

I can only hope that a speedy end to this dreadful and divisive primary campaign can now occur. It's about time for the Democratic nominee to go after Senator Septuagenarian and the horrendous ideas he's spouting.

(Otherwise, I'm a very happy man today.)
