On the night that Barack Obama's coronation will take place, a sour note comes from the South Dakota section of the orchestra. CNN is calling the Mount Rushmore State for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Obama should have done better. The state's most prominent Democrat, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, endorsed him four months ago and is the co-chair of the Obama campaign. Pete Rouse runs Obama's Washington Senate office. His job before Obama hired him? He was chief of staff for Tom Daschle.
And AP was wrong. Hillary Clinton did not concede tonight.
UPDATE 9:25 PM: The news networks are calling the Montana Democratic Primary for Barack Obama.
