Nah Nah Nah Nah Hey Hey Hey Goodbye

Eugene Robinson in today’s WaPo:

Humor me while we conduct a little thought experiment. Imagine that Barack Obama had lost 10 contests in a row. Imagine that he now trailed Hillary Clinton substantially in the number of Democratic primaries and caucuses won, in total votes cast, in pledged convention delegates, in the overall delegate count, in fundraising and in the ineffable attribute called mojo. Imagine that Obama was struggling, at this late hour, to come up with the right message. What would the conventional wisdom say?

That it was over, of course.

At last, the professional commentariat is coming to admit what I’ve been saying for weeks now.
