Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell says "it is very unlikely Hillary will win". One of Senator Clinton's biggest supporters who feels she would win the major swing states now says it is unlikely she will win the nomination and hopes for a Obama-Clinton ticket for November.
--------------------
The total delegate count today is Obama 1979, Clinton 1781. Obama is only 47 delegates away from the current 2026 needed to secure the nomination. It is very likely he will reach this number after the last primaries in S.Dakota and Montana on Tuesday, June 3.
--------------------
While many Democrats have been excited over a protracted primary, others are concerned a broker-ed convention could result in damage to the party. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she believes the candidate of the party will be determined in the first week in June. The New York Times Blog, Caucus.com writes Pelosi will step in if the nomination has not been decided by the end of June. If the Clinton drags on a losing battle to the end of June, expect Pelosi to have plenty of company from the democratic party hierarchy.
--------------------
Majority Whip James Clyburn (S.C.) says he will announce who he is supporting at 11 AM on Tuesday, well after the last two primaries are underway. He is also a superdelgate.
