The longest 6 weeks in politics

Is over.
Democrats make final pushes for votes in Pa.
Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton scoured Pennsylvania for votes Monday amid signs Democrats are increasingly ready for the bitter presidential nomination race to end.
On the eve of their first contest in six weeks, the two Democratic rivals angled to manage expectations. Obama insisted he wasn't expecting a Keystone State win, while a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll showed him with a lead nationwide over Clinton, 50%-40%, among Democrats and independents who lean Democratic. The sample of 552 adults has a margin of error of +/-5 percentage points. In Pennsylvania, a rash of last-minute state polls showed Clinton anywhere from 10 points ahead to three points behind - with most giving her single-digit leads.
"I'm not predicting a win," Obama told Pittsburgh radio station KDKA. "I'm predicting it's going to be close and that we are going to do a lot better than people expect."
The poll also found that Democrats and Democratic leaners are evenly split 48%-48% on whether the long, heated nomination contest is hurting the party and party leaders should unite behind a candidate. A Rasmussen Reports poll last month found 62% of Democrats wanted the race to go on.
Will someone please win

I can't help wondering if the average person would consider this such a struggle if the media weren't always telling us it is. The whole point of the convention (originally) is to choose a candidate, so why should the choice be made before then? Just because recent history has always shown a clear frontrunner doesn't mean it always has to be that way.
I still think Hillary is screwing it up, but I don't think any of this should be considered decided at least until all the primaries are over. Otherise, why bother having people vote in the primary? Do the people in those last states not count? Again, it's not the decision itself that's broken, it's the decision-making process.
