...quite a triumph of logistics. The organizers just hadn't reckoned with the outpouring of exuberance of overseas Americans given an opportunity to cast off the taint of the Bush years. Democrats Abroad U.K. had booked Porchester Hall, a grand Victorian edifice built for public functions, which ought to have been roomy enough. Pop star Elton John celebrated his birthday there with a few hundred of his closest friends in 1994, and the complex has regularly accommodated large-scale awards ceremonies and posh parties.

Earlier in the day, Clinton had churlishly compared Obama's victory to that of Jesse Jackson in 1984 and 1988, a remark that will likely further fuel disaffection about the Clintons amongst African-American voters. There was evidence that Obama's victory was also a repudiation of the brand of hard-knuckled politics that both Clintons had brought to the South Carolina contest. Exit...
