By the time all was sorted out from Tuesday, she outpointed Obama on delegates 187-183. A four-delegate chunk out of his lead. Yes, this marked the end of his winning streak, but she is getting an awful lot of mileage out of it, and much more momentum in the media than it deserves on merit. She is now benefiting from the media beast, and its need to keep some semblance of a horse-race storyline afloat. Now that McCain is a mathematical certainty, the Democrats are going to be in that focus even more. The real PR victory here belongs to the Clinton camp.
