Is Clinton the last to know it's over?
The American Prospect Posted 28 weeks agoAt least for one more day the titanic and seemingly interminable Democratic primary continues, and only one person in America can bring it to an end: Hillary Clinton.
Barack Obama coupled a solid, double-digit win in North Carolina with a narrow defeat in Indiana to stall the momentum Hillary Clinton showed in the 11 weeks since Obama's last significant win. "We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be," NBC's Tim Russert declared shortly after midnight, as the late numbers trickling in from Gary-based Lake County in the northwestern corner of Indiana reduced Clinton's victory margin in the Hoosier State to around 20,000 votes. It is a testament to how much the complex mix of expectations, performance, and spin figure in this contest that a proclamation by the dean of televised punditry matters more than the potential endorsements of the nearly 300 undeclared Democratic superdelegates.
The crucial question is whether Russert's "we" includes the New York senator and her top campaign advisers. Does Hillary Clinton know who the Democratic nominee is going to be?

Who knew
Submitted on May 8th, 2008 by rom12921How do you know what Timmy knew? Hillary seemed to be scrutinized more in debates, but usually at the hands of Russert, lardball host and other "friendlies". Kerry's swift boat criticism, huntin' and 'for it before he was against it' was mainly his own doing, and, of course, highlighted by opponents.
Good thing we haven't seem any "abuse" of GWB.
ITS OVER WHEN ITS OVER
Submitted on May 7th, 2008 by janmbNBC’s Tim Russert’s continual sexist asides and his all-white-male panels pontificating on race and gender are who you bring up in your article ? Tim Russert KNEW who was going to win this before the race for the nominee even began-----as Obama was his messiah.
Its hard to believe this race between Hillary and Obama are on ONE democratic ticket. The abuse that Hillary has taken was one that I saw Kerry take when he was running against GWB.
