“Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are expected to split their primaries Tuesday, Obama winning Oregon and Clinton taking Kentucky, a wash that will leave Obama on course to take the Democratic presidential nomination when the primaries end June 3. A victory in Oregon is expected to hand Obama a clear majority of the pledged delegates elected by voters, but it will still leave him short of the 2,025 delegates he needs to claim the nomination. He also, however, holds a majority of superdelegates, the elected officials and party insiders who hold the balance of power and are rapidly moving into his camp.” (05/19/08)
