Blame the Murdoch Media

for having touched off a media firestorm with Hillary Clinton's RFK remarks, which were hardly newsworthy.

I don't think it is a "certainty" Obama will clinch the nomination.

Snip:

On May 23 came Clinton’s remark to the Argus-Leader, which was virtually identical to previous comments along those lines, made to Time magazine in March and then to reporters May 7 after her victory in the Indiana primary. Each time she cited the primary contests of 1968 and 1992 as examples to justify her effort to continue her campaign into June. This argument was so familiar to reporters covering the Clinton campaign on a daily basis that the Associated Press, in its dispatch on the South Dakota appearance, made no mention of it. It was the intervention of the Murdoch press which triggered the media storm.

Her remarks, which have been made before regarding extended primaries, had not been newsworthy, but this time the Murdoch media, along with the Drudge Report, decided to make it so.
