BARACK OBAMA CLINCHES THE NOMINATION!!!
Clinton won South Dakota, Obama prevails in Montana
Barack crossed the 2,118 threshold, securing the Democratic nomination! It's done! Obama vs. McCain is ON!!!
The New York Times has an excellent webpage that shows how each super delegate is leaning, and it's searchable by name or state. It also includes quotes from the delegates. Very interesting.
The current CNN delegate count for the Democratic nomination stands at the following:
June 1st (after P.R.)
Obama - 2070 (1741 and 329)
Clinton - 1915 (1624 and 291)
May 31st (after MI & FL)
Obama - 2051 (1724 and 327)
Clinton - 1877 (1586 and 291)
Obama leads Clinton by 174 delegates
May 21st
Obama - 1962 (1656 and 306)
Clinton - 1777 (1498 and 279)
Obama leads Clinton by 185 delegates
