HE HAS CLINCHED IT INDEED! OFFICIAL BARACK OBAMA "PELOSI NUMBER" THREAD
Edited on Tue May-20-08 08:59 PM by rocknation
With over 98% of the precincts reporting in KY, Obama has 30% of the vote, which gives him the 15 pledged delegates he needed to clinch the delegate lead--also known as the Pelosi number! He didn't win in KY, but he DID succeed! Bring out your congrats, get ready for the icing-on-the-cake OR results, and CUE THE VONAGE THEME!

:woohoo:

His own web site said he needed 14.5. Either Slate did some last-minute re-calculating
Edited on Tue May-20-08 09:27 PM by rocknation
or Obama called out some last-minute superdelegates. Oh well, it all evens out!

Edited on Tue May-20-08 09:23 PM by rocknation
