Barack Obama, Presumptive Nominee for the Democratic Party.

According to the AP, he's done it.

I've watched the super delegate endorsements trickle in today. So far, int he past four hours, he's gone from needing 32 to 25 total delegates in order to win the nomination.

Can Hillary still win it? Not a chance. Although this won't stop her strategists or her more rabid supporters who insist that nothing is over until Denver. It will not go that far, folks. The DNC would rather risk losing the rather small percentage of Hillary die-hards than risking the support of the majority who voted for Obama (at this point, 12:30 pm pst today, Senator Clinton is not ahead in the popular vote despite Ickes's and Wolfson's claims. See Newsweek for just one math-correcting article).

So now the Obamas and their supporters must brace themselves for the approach of the GOP attack machine, which began in earnest over the weekend (and thanks in large part to desperate Clinton supporters). See Wonk, Mitch and Nan, or Oliver Willis at the blogroll for discussions of an alleged tape of Michelle Obama at a TUCC event.

The good news is, having withstood the primary battle with the Clintons, Obama has a solid chance at winning the general election's war.
