Obama Now Leads Among Supers

So he has the popular vote, the majority of states, the majority of pledged delegates, the majority of super-delegates - and none of this can change to give Clinton the edge in the next month. And still she won't do the decent thing and concede. At this point, every day is a Clinton insult to the Democratic party nominee. And every day makes her future career more tenuous.

But maybe this is the only way the Clintons can end: in a slow, gruesome, political murder-suicide. And they will use the wounds they inflict on their nominee as a reason to vote for them in 2012 if he loses in the fall.

Samantha Power was right.
