Super Fat Tuesday

From The New York Times:

Hillary vs. Obama: It Ain’t Over

By The Editorial Board

Super Tuesday’s over and it’s clear who won.

Hillary Clinton. She is ahead in delegates and convincingly took the night’s big prize, California. And her not-close victory in Massachusetts was a rebuke to Senator Edward Kennedy, who campaigned heavily for Mr. Obama.

Or Barack Obama. He took the most states last night, he continues to build momentum, and there’s starting to be talk that the nomination is his to lose.

Or it was a tie. But as commentators are pointing out, a tie goes to Mrs. Clinton. Or make that Mr. Obama.

In other words, the near-national primary that was supposed to settle the Democratic nomination settled nothing...

It goes on from there. They don't get everything quite right, but the biggest baloney is in the last sentence. As others have pointed out, did anybody seriously think the Democratic primary would be settled going into yesterday's elections? No. (I'm not convinced the Republican primary is exactly "settled.") This is an after-the-fact crisis manufactured by the media. As long as the contest doesn't turn ugly, I think it will be a good thing.
