The electoral college is what Dan Barreiro might call a “sticky wicket.” I understand the importance of having a president with broad geographical and cultural appeal - they are supposed to represent the entire country not just the densely populated coastal enclaves - but it is hard to ignore the problems that arise when the person who received the most votes nationwide isn’t the president.

It needs to be said.

It isn't hyperbole.

John McCain has shit for honor.

His campaign has been the dirtiest, nastiest, most vile campaign of the modern era. His ads, from Britney Spears/Paris Hilton to the monstrosity in which John McCain himself approves of the message that Obama wants to teach comprehensive sex education to kindergarten classes are all the proof any thinking person needs to conclude that John McCain's vaunted and oft flaunted honor is ephemeral at best and a vicious, cynical deceit at worst.

It seems that the new meme in the traditional media is the question, "Why Can't Obama Close the Deal?"

Interesting question. Or maybe not.

Obama did close the deal, right around the end of February when he destroyed Hillary in the Wisconsin primary by 17% points completing a string of 11 consecutive victories by an average above 20% points. That's when he closed the deal. That's when the math became a prison. Just because Hillary chose not to suspend her campaign doesn't change the numbers. And the numbers are destiny.

If a republican candidate and their surrogates had created the same pattern of events we have unfolding in the Clinton campaign wouldn't the reaction of the entire progressive community be one of outrage and contempt?
