Progress indeed. As of this writing, Obama is a mere twelve delegates away from the nomination [3], and the headline of this Associated Press story says it all [4]. But the real surprise? Hillary has expressed interest in being his running mate [5]. Can you say “dream ticket”? At least it would be for me: that’s the scenario I’ve been rooting for since November.
[NOTE: If you learn of any celebrations going on tonight, please provide details in a comment to this post!]
