The AP is reporting that the flood of superdelegates has now put Obama over the top. From
their story:
The AP tally was based on public commitments from delegates as well as more than a dozen private commitments. It also included a minimum number of delegates Obama was guaranteed even if he lost both of the final two primaries in South Dakota and Montana later in the day.
So there you have it. History was made today.
All day long a steady stream of superdelegates had been going Obama's way. The
Chicago Tribune reported that at least 25 superdelegates were "poised" to endorse Obama after tonight's contests in Montana and South Dakota. 31 pledged delegates will be decided later this evening. Obama is expected to win big in Montana. South Dakota looks like a toss-up.
Even Clinton loyalist Diane Feinstein told
CNN that it is time for Hillary to pack it in.
Get ready for a victory speech tonight.
