Al ! Get out there NOW!

I am hoping to vote in November.

I cannot support either Hillery or Obama. Will I be forced to vote for McCain?

Al please come out before Obama has a lock on the nomination or the super delegates!

If you will plan to open diplomatic relations with Iran (before the idiot in the White House starts a pre-emptive strike), and lift the useless blockade on Cuba, you will definitely have my vote and probably a goodly portion of America's votes.

Am I going to have to vote for Ralph Nader as a "none of the above" vote.?

Countdown to the Nomination - 120.5 Delegates to Go

Yesterday, Obama secured the support of 4 superdelegates (Reps. Henry Waxman, Jim McDermott and Howard Berman and Larry Cohen (CWA DNC)), 1 pledged delegate in North Carolina (because of updated vote tallies in the state) and 7 pledged delegates that had previously supported John Edwards. That means that the number for Obama to secure a majority of pledged delegates has gone down from 25 to 17. And the number Obama needs to secure the nomination is 121.5.

The Math

Total Pledged Delegates: 3,253

Pledged Delegates needed for a majority of pledged delegates: 1,627

Total delegates needed for nomination: 2,025

Edwards Pledged Delegates who are now Obama Delegates:7

Obama Pledged Delegates:1,603

Obama Super Delegates: 293.5

Obama Total Delegates:1,903.5

Delegates Obama needs for a majority of pledged delegates: 17

Obama need to secure the Democratic nomination: 121.5

Please make some calls and make a donation today and continue the momentum. We're getting close, but we need everyone to continue to be involved if we want to make this thing happen.

UPDATE: Rep Pete Stark just endorsed, making the number of delegates Obama needs to secure the nomination 120.5.
