BITS AND PIECES: Hillary Downhill, Google Maps Mayhem, and Brolin as Bush!

Hillary Clinton got smashed by Barack Obama in North Carolina on Tuesday and won Indiana my a measly 2%. As usual, the pundits were going on and on about “game changers” and whatnot, but I expected this to be another close race that would result in Hillary keeping hopelessly in the race and everyone else going along with it. Boy, was I surprised. Not by the results, which were to be expected, but by the media response. The next thing I know, Dan Abrams is discussing exit strategies for the Hillster and Good Morning America is saying how inevitable it is that she’s going to drop out.

Whoa, whoa, hold up. If I remember correctly, the media has spent the past few weeks acting like the suggestion that the race is over for Hillary is unendingly offensive, that the simple point that she cannot win the nomination democratically isn’t an inevitability. Oops. I guess the story has finally changed, as I suppose it was going to eventually. I predicted that if Hillary didn’t bow out, the media would force her out and it’s already happening. She can only take so much pressure from the media, the public, and her own people before she can’t hold on any longer.
