At this juncture in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, the Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, is poised to become the first black Democratic nominee for the presidency of the United States of America.
Sen. Obama is leading in the popular vote and the pledged delegates. Since February 5, he has reportedly gained 50 superdelegates, inching closer to the New York Senator's lead in superdelegates.
According to MSNBC's "First Read" http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/24/800406.aspx, Obama leads Clinton 1,626-1,506 overall. This includes the pledged count of Obama 1,408, Clinton 1,251 and the superdelegate count of Clinton 255, Obama 218.
In the popular vote, Obama is ahead 13,405,271-12,706,194.
It's a tense moment in history for many who await the June 5 outcome of this historic Democratic primary.
