How will the MSM spin tonight?

Tonight Obama won the delegates that were up for grabs. That means tonight Obama increased his lead over Clinton.

And of course Obama won NC by more than 200,000 votes and "lost" (as of this time of the night) IN by less than 40,000, so Obama got by far more popular votes.

Will the MSM portray tonight as a "draw" with each winning one state? That would be the way to keep the Clinton delusion going and helping the Republicans.

There is no mathematically realistic way for Clinton to catch up.  

Obama increased his lead tonight. We don't know the number yet but I figure he gets about 20 more delegates tonight.

The superdelegates are not stupid. If they know anything it is how to do the math of counting votes. So what is keeping them from ending it? Each of them has their own personal reason for waiting.  So we won't know.

But Clinton's speech tonight was delusional at best.

•  MSNBC seems to be saying this is about VP

  Should Hillary be Obama's VP?

  •  Yep, so far I'm hearing

    MSNBC's Fienman say it's about Obama "turning the page", and welcoming Hillary as the VP side of his ticket. Hear others earlier on MSNBC say similar crap. I repeat. CRAP. Why on earth would/should Obama even consider such a move? She only offers all her negatives, all her scorched earth politics, all her pandering, all her lies. What the F does she add to any  Obama ticket, other than the Clinton legacy, which becomes more and more tarnished with each passing day?

    •  She adds having a woman elected to the WH

      Hillary Clinton's main appeal has always been that she is a woman who could possibly be elected to the White House to break the barrier.

      As VP she would still offer this. It is no small matter, even to me who thinks Hillary Clinton is among the worst the Democrats have to offer.

•  MSNBC is spinning it an Obama victory

  They are talking about how Hillary could possibly go along, for she has lost all momentum.

•  It is definitely an Obama win

  No doubt about it.

•  NC knows the true meaning of double digits!!!

  Take that MSM.

•  Yes the MSNBC messge is that Obama's lead in NC

  is so great that even MI and FL.

  That, at best, HRC's game now may be to decide if she wants to play for the VP spot.

•  At 11:40pm est MSNBC reports someone saying

  Obama's lead in Gary and Lake County is so large it may be enough to swing overcome the currently reported 39,000 vote HRC lead.

•  How will they spin it?

  I'm not near a TV tonight, but check out how Wolfson is spinning it on the tube and that'll be a clue, with the possible exception of Keith.

•  I can tell you how the media will paint this:

  LOOK!  A scary black man screaming on YouTube!

•  They won't throw in the towel yet

  Hillary's their only hope of saving corporate rule.  They'll play down Barack's wins as AAs and "elitists" and talk about how Hillary dominated among the white uneducated voters.  Pretty lame, but it's all they got.

•  Russert just said it.. at 12:11 est

  "we now know who the Democratic nominee will be"

  He wasn't talking about Clinton.
