To be honest?

No matter which way it ends - and let me make it again clear, since the tone of my diary (even with the provisos) says otherwise - NO, IT'S NOT OVER; I think we'll see this end with yet another example of how truly magnificent these two Democrats are.

The candidate that comes up short will almost certainly show yet another example of class, skill, and poise --- and lead the way in healing the party.

I'm not saying everyone will magically get over everything - hell, it was a lesser deal, and it took ME all summer to get over Dean in 2004 - but I think the overwhelmingly substantial portion of either candidate's support pool will follow the lead of their chosen candidate.

...and I have EVERY confidence in both the candidates.
