So just a recap and update: Hillary won New Jersey early and handily, as everyone here knew last night. She went on to win New Mexico, South Dakota, and, finally, The Big Enchilada - California.

2383 delegates to win
Hillary Clinton
Delegates: 2184 Superdelegates: 571
| 2755 |

Delegates: 1804 Superdelegates: 48

We should bear in mind that the 2383 total includes Superdelegates. Hillary has gone well above and beyond it.
So! If, like me, you were waiting for California to pop the champagne cork, go right ahead. Democrats came out for Hillary, and Hillary told us last night how much she appreciates the support. If you find yourself standing a little taller, sitting a little taller behind the steering wheel or at your desk, smiling a little at odd times, indulge yourself. We did this. We all did this with Hillary. She is the nominee.
Early on, I was disappointed that my state was going so late, but by the time I voted yesterday I realized that the last Super Tuesday was the best. But for all of those great victories yesterday, lets not lose sight of the bigger picture. ALL of the primaries and caucuses did this. ALL of the votes contributed to the totals above. Even in the states where Hillary did not dominate, her support system won her delegates. Here is a thank you note from Hillary.
Here are some of the front pages from today's newspapers.
Now we are in the big pond and have to do this all over again for November. So tonight, kick off your shoes, pour yourself that bubbly you have been saving, and catch Hillary on CNN with Wolf Blitzer at 6 and with David Muir on ABC at 6:30.
There is one more primary to go next week, and we want big numbers from D.C. But alea jacta est. We have crossed the Rubicon and are in the general election season officially now. Let's turn out the vote in D.C. next week, and let's drum it up in all 50 states, again, as Hillary said last night. Let's win the big one!
