MSM says Obama has the nomination

Barack Obama was on the brink of winning the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday, as the support of a steady parade of uncommitted delegates pushed rival Hillary Clinton to the verge of defeat.

At least 20 superdelegates -- party officials free to back any candidate at the August nominating convention -- and 10 delegates pledged to former rival John Edwards announced their support for Obama, who would be the first black presidential nominee of a major U.S. political party.

CHICAGO - Barack Obama clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, becoming the first black candidate to lead a major party into a campaign for the White House, according to an Associated Press tally of delegates.

Obama arranged a victory celebration at the site of this summer's Republican National Convention — an in-your-face gesture to Sen. John McCain, who will be his opponent in the race to become the nation's 44th president.
