A good night for Obama

As indicated by Halperin's media roundup:

Russert on MSNBC: “We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be, and no one is going to dispute it.”

NY Times’ Nagourney: “Tuesday’s results did not fundamentally improve her chances of securing the Democratic presidential nomination. If anything, Mrs. Clinton’s options for overtaking Senator Barack Obama may have dwindled further.”

TIME’s Michael Scherer: “Clinton ended the night no closer to winning the nomination than when she began the day - in fact, she emerged an even bigger mathematical long-shot to taking the lead either in pledged delegates or the popular vote.”

WashPost quoting “senior Clinton official”: “Absent some sort of miracle on May 31st, it’s going to be tough for us. We lost this thing in February. We’re doing everything we can now . . . but it’s just an uphill battle.”

LA Times’ Wallsten: “Clinton is preparing to push the contest beyond the voting phase of the process and into the realm of committee meetings and credentialing rules, where her campaign believes she may have a chance to overtake Obama before the party’s nominating convention in late August.”

The biggest question: Will any of her supporters (including Wes Clark) say publicly or privately she should quit?
