Kalifornia

CNN just called California for Clinton. And though she's now collected all the big states and can start building houses and hotels on them*, CNN's Jamal Simmons makes a great point: these states will certainly be going Democratic in the fall, and the states which Obama has won are the states in which the Democratic candidate needs to be competitive.
I hope we will start to hear electability arguments from the Obama campaign. Even if you think a Democrat victory is a fait accompli (you obviously don't care about jinxing), shouldn't we be going for the biggest margin possible?

* - Illinois is pretty big, but I really wanted to make the Monopoly joke.
