This is good news. Bad news for Clinton's supporters. I wonder now what's Hilary thinking just still to win for the nomination...

It's his to lose now.
This is one damned interesting presidential race! Thank goodness. I was getting a little bored the last couple of years.
Now let's see what happens in the future debates among the front runners.
If the race so far is any indication, anything can happen!

The differential is too high. How will Clinton accept this? Is the presidential nomination over? I don't think so.
