Hell yeah, Obama took N. Carolina and almost squeaked by Clinton in Indiana. Obama is now within 200 delegates of clinching the 2,025 delegates necessary to snag the Democratic presidential nomination. Of course that number is excluding the 286 delegates from MI and FL, which are still being considered but not likely to count since those states broke the parties rules and held their primaries early. According to RealClearPolitics, Obama has 1845 delegates and Clinton has 1693. There are still 217 delegates at stake in the final six primaries: West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota. And 267 superdelegates are still undecided. If all goes as it should, Obama will remain in the lead w/ the most delegates and the remaining undecided superdelegates shall vote for Obama, the choice of the people.
Overall for Obama, prognosis is good. Even better news, big players are starting to come to their senses. One of the big first endorsers of Hillary, Former Sen. McGovern, urged Clinton to drop out of the race. Clinton came very close but now is the time to bow out gracefully. It’s time to unify the democratic party before things get too messy and we hand the win to the republicans. My biggest fear though, is that by the time they realize this it will be too late.
Little side note, a Time.com poll says 80% of 7,000 polled think Clinton should drop out. But well, guess that doesn’t mean much since the demographics of Time (educated middle to upper class) are most certainly Obama supporters, according to statistics.
