Chicago Tribune: Hillary Clinton's actually pretty good at this [View all]

Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, full stop.

No, she didn't formally clinch, and Bernie Sanders picked up victories in Colorado, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Vermont. But the overall numbers are clear. Clinton crushed Sanders in the states she figured to win, and has kept it close in most states she figured to lose.

...

Large leads are difficult to overtake in the Democratic presidential race because strict proportional allocation of delegates means that even a slumping front-runner continues to get closer to locking up a majority. Nothing in the election returns to date, or polls of future states, or anything else indicates any nomination trouble ahead for Clinton.

...

And we can't know for sure if the political skills we've seen so far would make her good at the job of president, if she gets the opportunity. All we know is that the great presidents were master politicians of one kind or another. And as we have just seen, Hillary Clinton is a very, very good politician.

There is no ifs, ands or buts, Clinton dominated Super Tuesday and media coverage sure as hell reflects that pesky fact.
