It could have all ended tonight. Perhaps. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow morning and find a surprise from Indiana. Sen. Barack Obama handily beat Sen. Hillary Clinton in North Carolina tonight but Indiana results are too close to call (as of the time of this post).

I was hoping that tonight could have been the end of a very prolonged Democratic nominating season and begin the much needed unifying process for the Dems. The "media" seemed to be having a field day with the Exit Polling Results and strumming the drums that Obama wouldn't be able to beat McCain in November - in particular, Clinton supporters said they would not vote for Obama if he was the nominee.

"...they say the exit polls out of both states Tuesday night have bolstered their electability argument: they show Obama’s supporters are more likely to support Clinton in the fall than vice versa."

I'm actually appalled that the Clinton campaign would use this as a talking point for why she should be the nominee. The Clinton camp should be ashamed that so many of their supporters would jump ship on the Democratic Party and jump in the sack with McCain.

The truth is most of these people will vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate regardless - and right now many people are very motivated for their candidate. I'm happy to see that 70% of Obama supporters said they would vote for HIllary if she were the nominee. That's the way it should be.
