It's over.
Stick a fork in Sen. Hillary Clinton, she's done.
Senator Barack Obama will win the Democratic presidential nomination, and the the Presidency. This has been all but assured.
But, Dr., you ask, how do you know this?
During a recent speech in Texas, the Illinois senator, suffering from a cold, took a moment to blow his nose, at which point, the reported near capacity 17,000 people in attendance at Reunion Arena applauded. Sure, it was described as "slightly awkward," by John McCormick of the Baltimore Sun, but still, a stunning display of holding the crowd in the palm of your hand, not unlike a slightly used tissue.
Why the hell does Obama need speechwriters at this point, or massive Internet fundraising efforts? At this point, all he needs to do is tape a commercial of him blowing his nose, and he can pretty much sail to the White House with a full war chest, and hopefully some Vitamin C. Look for him to pick up another Grammy next year, for an album of him clearing his throat, accompanied by Herbie Hancock.
May just be the absolute saddest fucking thing I have ever read. 17,000 people being moved to applause, by someone blowing his nose, even for Texas, is depressing.
Just wait for everyone else to start stealing THAT line.
