Obama's first test: Handling Hillary  —  Barack Obama would like to remind you of something: He won and she didn't.  It's about him now and not her.  He has made history, and she is history.  —  Not that Hillary Clinton admitted to any of that in her nonconcession concession speech Tuesday night …
Michael Crowley / The Stump:
In the Clinton Bunker  —  How fitting that, on the night Barack Obama finally claimed the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton delivered her non-concession speech from a concrete bunker.  To reach the Baruch College gymnasium where Hillary spoke with such surprising defiance her supporters …

The Obama We Don't Know  —  With Barack Obama clinching the Democratic Party nomination, it is worth noting what an extraordinary moment this is.  Democrats are nominating a freshman Senator barely three years out of the Illinois legislature whom most of America still hardly knows.

Barack Obama: Calm in the Swirl of History  —  He gives the appearance of a strikingly laid-back victor, this presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.  —  On the day before the night he made history, Barack Obama shot hoops at the Back Bay Club in Chicago, and called the odd superdelegate or two.

I Am Not a Bargaining Chip, I Am a Democrat  —  Senator Clinton's speech last night was a justifiably proud recitation of her accomplishments over the course of this campaign, but it did not end right.  She didn't do what she should have done.  As hard and as painful as it might have been …

Question for McCain: Food Prices  —  While waiting for the South Dakota polls to close and Obama to be declared the nominee, I'm watching McCain's speech.  I don't think I realized before just how awful a speaker he is.  It's hard to listen to what he's saying because his style of reading the teleprompter is so distracting.
