Manchester, N.H. -- All credit is due CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin for this observation (and his listening skills).

As he and other commentators hashed over Barack Obama’s concession speech after New Hampshire Democrats staunched the surge he seemed to be riding out of Iowa, Toobin noted that the song blaring as the Illinois senator exited the stage probably had been chosen with a different outcome in mind.

The tune: Stevie Wonder’s ‘Signed, Sealed and Delivered.’

Not quite. As Toobin noted, a quick change of script was called for.
