Kentucky and Oregon voted yesterday and a milestone has been reached. Obama now has the MAJORITY of pledged delegates. There are only 86 pledged delegates left and 211 uncommitted Super delegates. More Super Delegates expected to decide today.
According to the Associated Press:
Pledged Delegates
Obama 1649 / Clinton 1497
Super Delegates
Obama 307 / Clinton 279
TOTALS
Obama 1956 / Clinton 1776
Needed to Win
Obama 70 / Clinton 250
Pledged Delegates Remaining: 86
Super Delegates Still Uncommitted: 211
Remember back in March Nancy Pelosi said the Super delegates should back the candidate with the MOST pledged delegates? Remember that she was threatened by Hillary campaign contributors? Well, Barack has the MAJORITY of pledged delegates. Now what?
Will Senator Clinton run as an Independent? It’s possible. Clinton supporters, are you for this or against it and why?
Some say race was a big factor in Kentucky. This “racial divide” narrative is such CRAP! We’ll flush that out today.
There was a Republican Primary in Kentucky as well. McCain only received 72% of the vote and he had no opposition!
Georgia Republican Party Chairwoman compares McCain to Jesus on the cross?
And Grandpa McCain is confused again. He thinks Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the Leader of Iran and that Barack Obama said he’d negotiate with him. The leader of Iran is the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Khamenei runs Iranian foreign policy and is also in charge of the nuclear program. Obama never said he’d negotiate with him.
FOOD FIGHT in the House of Representatives. The GREAT Henry Waxman, Chairman of The Government Oversight Committee questioned the head of the EPA Stephen Johnson on Global Warming and whether his decisions are his own or made for him by The White House. Idiot Darryl Issa was trying to run interference for Mr. Johnson and let’s just say it didn’t go well for Issa! Thank God for Henry Waxman! WATCH HERE:

Sadly today we heard that Senator Ted Kennedy is fighting a highly lethal form of brain cancer. His fellow Senators are in shock especially the most Senior Senator, West Virginia’s Robert Byrd who was brought to tears upon hearing the news.
