Barack Obama has reached the magic number, and
clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, according to the Associated Press delegate count.
The count is based on private and public delegate commitments. According to the AP, Obama has effectively claimed the nomination with 2,118 delegates, even if he loses the South Dakota and Montana primaries today.

This morning I saw the
latest Gallup poll showing Hillary Clinton leading Barack Obama 49 to 42 percent among national Democratic voters. This got me thinking — what is going on with the Dems?!
Even people inside Hillary Clinton's campaign acknowledge that there is no way she can win more pledged delegates, and it is nearly impossible for her to secure a popular-vote victory.

The Huffington Post is compiling an
extensive dossier to allow voters to meet that mythical breed of creature that's oh, so influential this election: The Superdelegate. In an ongoing investigation soliciting input and profiles from citizen-journalists, they've built a roll-over map that pops up the list of available profiles from each state.
It's a tad more servicey than a
round up of Facebook pictures (though arguably not as fun).
