Almost a declaration of victory
Obama went back to the site of his caucus victory in January to announce voters have "put us within reach of teh Democratic presidential nomination." But Clinton remains in the race. Here's Larry Eichel's take from the Wednesday Inquirer:
And here's Slate's take on what, if anything, Obama can do to get Clinton out of the race.

Why are you not reporting the recent Hillaris claim that she is waiting for Obama to be assassinated in June?
BEWARE THE 'OBAMA CON'
The insistence nation-wide, is the votes of Florida and Michigan both be counted as recorded, and delegates apportioned according to the votes, and that is it. We insist Hillary Clinton accept no (negotiated) settlement on delegates.
If delegates can not be allocated per the voting, then that is something Mr. Obama will live with, because he will not get my vote in November. And I am sure I speak for 15 to 20 million other voters in this country. We are not going to vote for someone who pulls a (con), and thinks we all do not know and that we are stupid.
Barack and Michelle Obama will have been personally responsible for wrecking the Democratic Party during what is supposed to be a legitimate primary campaign season, and most likely they will be giving us another four years of George Bush by allowing or rather forcing the country to elect John McCain.
WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? In a short article in pundits.thehill.com for April 23, 2008 it is reported 1st term Congressman Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania's 8th District stated on a Larry King show the previous night the following: "Obama did so well in losing to Senator Clinton yesterday, he really has the wind at his back". Huh? And this is right after Senator Hillary Clinton scored a big 10 point win over Barack Obama, in spite of most of the polls in the days and weeks preceding the election on RealClearPolitics, including its RCP all-poll average, showing her ahead only by single digits and dropping. The exit polls on the day of the vote showed her winning by plus 5, yet she won by plus 10. I think Congressman Murphy needs to review his math. I also note two other things which I do not understand, but I will throw out there. Bucks County, in which Congressman Murphy represents, went for Hillary Clinton by some 24 percent over Barack Obama in the PA primary. AND her husband President Bill Clinton came up here and held a major rally to show strong support for Mr. Murphy in a hard fought election in which Mr. Murphy won by only about 1 percent. Congressman Murphy has been an avid and strong supporter of Barack Obama from almost the beginning. (Note: The reporter for the April 23rd article is Lanny Davis, a strong Clinton supporter. The quotes are all accurate, and the balance is right out of public record.)
CommonSense12, you need to face reality buddy. Obama is the Democatic nominee in 2008. Get behind him or get out of the way. Floria and Michigan screwed their own voters, Obama and Clinton had nothing to do with it. There are no do-overs in real life and you can't reward somebody for breaking the rules. Obama is clearly the fresh face and mind we need in Washington. The Clinton era is over.
CommonSense,
We would like your vote. The time has come to unite behind Sen. Obama.
