Slog - Comments on Anonymous Clinching http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/anonymous_clinching Just to clarify, and continue the "suspense" for a few more hours: That AP story about Obama clinching the nomination hinges on more than a dozen anonymous superdelegates. Which is not how you count superdelegates, says Mr. Smith: Not to be a stickler here, but that's not how this has been working, either in our count or in in the Obama campaign's. The commitments that matter are the ones that are public.

Oh . . . we can just wait until tomorrow, when it'll be true.

It's over.

Well, the ones I can clinch voluntarily that is...
