Is today the day?

Senator Barack Obama's campaign began a concerted effort on Monday to rally undecided superdelegates around him so he can claim the Democratic presidential nomination after the primaries end on Tuesday night.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton invited fund-raisers and other supporters to an election-night rally in New York City where, aides said, she was prepared to deliver what they described as a farewell speech that summed up the case for her candidacy. They said Clinton was not likely to withdraw from the race on Tuesday night, probably waiting until later in the week, once Obama's victory appeared clear.

Sensing an opportunity to shut down the nominating contest, Obama's campaign advisers said that they were orchestrating an endorsement of Obama by at least eight Senate and House members who had pledged to remain uncommitted until the primaries ended, and that the endorsements would come the moment the South Dakota polls closed on Tuesday night.

It is time for this show to reach its finale. It is time for Richard Kimble to finally catch the one armed man who killed his wife. It is time for Bob Newhart to wake up next to Suzanne Pleshette and realize it has all been a dream. It is time for Diane Chambers to walk back into Sam Malone's arms. It is time for Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer, to end up on trial facing all of the people who they have wronged or treated poorly in their lives.

In other words it is time for the credits to roll on the final episode of the "Obama vs Clinton" show and for Obama to spin off onto his own highly rated series.

Will that happen? Not according to this. But then how do we explain this. Or even this.

Damn! No wonder politicians drink so much!
