Could be Tonight!

Or tomorrow at the latest . . .

The Obama Campaign, as reported by numerous news outlets, has commitments from sufficient superdelegates to put him "over the top." There are just a couple of questions remaining: will sufficient superdelegates reveal their support today, so that he can go over the top with elected delegates out of tonight's final contests in Montana and South Dakota? I understand that is the campaign's preference, their cinematic ending to the long, long process. But, as Pat Buchanan says, some of these superdelegates have the political weasel character and they want to be extra, extra sure they do not offend the Clintons - so they may wait till Wednesday to declare.

I saw and heard Terry McAuliffe with my own eyes and ears this morning on Today - Hillary WILL concede once a candidate attains the magic number and she will recognize that candidate as the nominee. Meredith said, well, the Obama campaign says they have the numbers! Terry says, words to this effect: Show me the money! Come out with these delegates! But in the end he said, I'm a party guy - in other words, he will support the Democratic nominee, even if it is not Hillary - of course.

So, what will Hillary say tonight? Of course it will depend on whether Obama hits that magic number or not, and how and when he hits it. It will be interesting, certainly - possibly very exciting - my hope is that the superdelegates come through in such a way that he can celebrate tonight - regardless of what she does.

Our long national nightmare is almost over!
