It's all over now. Or is it?
Wednesday, May 07, 2008  Send to a friend
The media pundits are saying it's all over. The fat lady is clearing her throat. From the expression on Bill Clinton's face to Matt Drudge's simple caption under a picture of Obama - "The nominee", the conclusion is that the smooth-talking junior Senator from Illinois has prevailed. Take a look at this from Tim Russert, NBC's Washington Bureau Chief. So that's it then... We in the media hoped against hope for a few more months of nail-biting entertainment. But, as they say in the US: 'You do the math!' Obama has an overwhelming lead in terms of delegates and the popular vote. He will likely swing the super-delegates this week. And of course he's clinched the moral argument too. It's been a fantastic run that has gripped readers and viewers the world over and hopefully restored faith in America's democratic system after the debacle in Florida eight years ago. But it's all over now. Or is it? At the time of writing, Senator Clinton is vowing to fight on. Behind the scenes super-delegates' noses are being tweaked. And who knows what else Obama's Pandora's-box-of-a-pastor will say in the meantime... I have a sneaking feeling that this story has a twist or two in it yet... After all, two rules apply here. One: never bet against a Clinton. And two: it ain't over till it's actually over. Whatever the fat lady may be doing.
