The AP is reporting the Obama has officially surpassed the 2118 delegates needed to clinch the nomination.

History has been made.

Hopefully Hillary will have the class to concede.

Remember, until Hill&Bill concede, nothing is over.

Even with that, there is plenty of time between now and the dem convention for "something" to derail Obama. And Hill&Bill will be waiting in the wings for that, you can count on it.

Can I just say how pleased and well, giddy, I am that the clintons have been thoroughly rejected and thrown under the bus by the party who they thought loved them? And the press.

As Rush would say; until we see her feet curled up underneath the house (the witch from OZ) you cannot count the clintons out.

I'm an Obama supporter, former Hillary supporter. I'm happy, but I'm a little sad. I hope that the party now pulls together and creams McCain.

LOL...I hadn't heard that "witch" comment. That's funny! I'm with you!

Two points. Firstly, once Obama crossED the threshold, IMO, it WAS over. Hillary can play games by not conceding, but everyone knows it's finished. If you are in a foot race with someone, and you pass through the finish line, you win. The other person doesn't have to admit that you won before the race is over.

Secondly, Obama is running against Hillary, not Bill. We don't need Bill's concession to move forward. The Clinton's are really working my nerves. Hopefully Hillary doesn't get any sort of position in Obama's cabinet after this disgraceful display.
