After the last two primaries (Montana and South Dakota) Several dozen superdelegates will endorse Obama putting him over the top of the magic number to clinch the nomination. BTW Obama holds a huge lead in Montana and is expected to win South Dakota.

Bottom Line...Its over and Obama is about to capture the democratic nomination...Sorry Major Minor....Barack Hussein Obama will be the democratic nominee and the next president of the United States.

It has been over for a long time. It's just that we have these two stubborn folks named [the Clintons] who just think the nomination is entitled to them no matter what the reality is.

As mentioned a while back, the Clintons have about 11 million reasons ($) to keep the campaign active. Even to the Clintons that is a lot of spare change.

The Field » “The Cardoza 40″: Exodus of Clinton Delegates Begins (http://ruralvotes.com/thefield/?p=1258 - broken link)

"The Field has learned that Cardoza is the first of a group of at least 40 Clinton delegates, many of them from California, that through talking among themselves came to a joint decision that all of them would vote for Obama at the convention.

They have informed Senator Clinton that it’s time to unite around Obama, and that they will be coming out, one or two at a time, and announcing their switch between now and the convention if Senator Clinton doesn’t do the same."


some of Hillary's PLEDGED delegates will be switching to Obama as well!

While I think it would be nice to move on and finalize the Democratic candidate, I have to say that I'm not particularly pleased that some of the delegates switching are apparently not Superdelegates, but rather Pledged ones. Seems to me that they should put their support behind the way the votes were made.

I feel the same way.
But... it is time to end this thing, so I'll do a happy dance.

I think the minimum delegates needed to win the nomination IS going to change, ie FL & MI will add to the delegate count.

true but it appears that enough superdelegates will back Obama which will make the delegate minimum change mute if those states are counted.
