The problem now is money.  People will contribute to the presumptive winner (John McCain for the GOP).  Obama is not the presumptive winner and, after yesterday, should begin to see money problems.  Hillary is married to the fund raiser in chief; money has never been a problem.  She can conduct an extended campaign better than Obama.  It won't be pretty, but she can pull it off.

I'm sorry, but this is a very hackish statement to make. Obama just outraised Clinton more than 2 to 1. Why? Because due to the sheer difference in number of donors, Hillary is starting to get hurt badly by the per-donor fundraising limit!

The press is now whispering that the Clintons are starting to pull a Romney and campaign out of their own pockets. I find this hard to spin in their favor.

Now that a few days have passed I think we can now come to a more levelheaded conclusion.
Normally speaking, the fact that Obama kept it so close, should be considered a huge accomplishment for him.
Unfortunately for him, at the same time, he was also, again, significantly damaged by overhyped expectations, this time with regards to California and, to a lesser extent, Massachusetts. In a race where momentum plays a very important role, this should not be underestimated.
