Finally, the mainstream media is starting to do the math. As the Examiner reports today, Clinton would have to win something like 80 percent of the delegates after North Carolina and Indiana to go to the convention ahead of Barack Obama. It’s over — and all that Bill and Hillary are doing is damaging the Democratic Party’s prospects in November by trashing the almost certain nominee.

This is nothing new to the blogosphere — Paul Hogarth explained it nicely way back in March.

I’m not among the Hillary bashers who just can’t stand her; I think she’d be a fine president. But she has adopted her husband’s win-at-all-costs, scorched-earth attitude and I’m starting to think that she would rather see John McCain in the White House than Barack Obama. Because that’s where her behavior is leading. She needs to drop out.
