They should have changed the music

I've never seen an Obama crowd as subdued as it was tonight here in San Antonio. The crowd knew that Hillary's win in Ohio and her likely victory in the popular vote in Texas, have given her permission to carry on. 

The down-beat mood was hardly improved by a--by his own very high standards--poor speech from Obama. Ironically, Obama still left the stage to signed, sealed, delivered which is what he failed to do tonight.
