Obama Wins NC, Clinton Squeeks By In Indiana

I stayed up late last night watching the election returns from Indiana. As expected Hillary Clinton won the primary, but not even close to the double digits she needed to stay in the race. She won by 2% points! Meanwhile in North Carolina, Obama won a decisive victory with a 56% to 42% lead. The only states left are much less populated and Hillary has virtually no chance of winning enough delegates to overcome Obama’s lead.

It is time she gracefully stepped down. Last night she even intimated she would support whoever was the candidate and work to defeat John McCain in November, so why not now? She can avoid further polarizing the party and help heal the wounds inflicted by the longest primary campaign in my memory.
