Factually, where we stand after yesterday is that Obama will be the Democratic nominee. Which is the same factual place we stood after PA, and, really, the same place we stood after TX and OH. Clinton hasn't had a valid path to the nomination for quite some time, but it wasn't (and still isn't)
technically impossible. However, what is technically possible is not the same as what is likely. After OH and TX, where Clinton failed to achieve the necessary margins of victory, it was
nearly impossible for her to win the nomination without a miracle. Now it's almost
certainly impossible - so much so that the news networks, who gain a lot from this race dragging on, are finally starting to talk about how Clinton is done.
The only thing that yesterday
truly changed is the media's willingness to continue to misrepresent Clinton's chances.
