By Liz Cox Barrett Mon 12 May 2008 11:02 AM 

From Katharine Q. Seeyle’s New York Times piece today (emphasis mine):

This is an awkward phase in a long campaign. Mrs. Clinton has not quite given up her quest for the nomination, and Mr. Obama has not quite finished his.

The Democratic Primary: now in its gawky “tween” stage — somewhere ‘tween It’s Over and It Ain’t Over ‘Til The Lady-in-the-Pantsuit-Says-It-Is.
