He's The Man!

Tonight America will go to bed having made history. For the first time in it's history, America has an African American presidential candidate. Barack Obama has gained the magic number of delegates and is now the presumptive democratic nominee for the 2008 Presidential Election.

The count is as follows:

Total Delegates:
Obama 2129
Clinton 1910

Pledged Delegates:
Obama 1750
Clinton 1624

Super delegates:
Obama 379
Clinton 286

In the next 24 to 48 hours remaining uncommitted super delegates are expected to make their choice known. Many, especially current senators, have been reluctant to publicly show their support for either candidate to avoid pushing voters one way or another.

History has been made.
