I’m starting to see a pattern here:

While Senator Barack Obama gingerly commended his rival's "perseverance," the shrinking candidacy of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has all but vanished from the television set, sidelined by bigger news.

For several weeks, editorial cartoonists and others have alluded to classic movies when speaking of Hillary Clinton’s campaign: Dracula, Frankenstein, A Night at the Opera. Thanks to the New York Times, we can now add The Incredible Shrinking Man and The Invisible Man--in one sentence yet!

Forget about the presidency. Obama’s first order of business should be to name Hillary as Director of Film Preservation at the Library of Congress. Because, you know, her campaign is just about gone with the wind.
