everyone knows Obama has won the nomination except for Hillary

Obama plans for Nov. election; Clinton lends her campaign $6.4M

CHICAGO - Barack Obama's campaign on Wednesday weighed ways to bring the drawn-out Democratic nominating process to a close while mapping out a strategy that will involve campaigning in battleground states where primaries have already been held.

Meanwhile, Hillary Rodham Clinton lent her presidential campaign $6.4 million over the past month, her campaign said Wednesday. And an early Clinton supporter, 1972 Democratic nominee George McGovern, urged her to drop out of the race.

Obama's drive to nail down the party nod was buoyed with a double-digit win in North Carolina and a stronger-than-expected run in Indiana, where he almost overcame rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As for Indiana, "we did much better than all the pundits predicted, despite Republicans changing parties to support Senator Clinton, believing she would be easier for Senator McCain to defeat," Obama wrote. "Now is the time for each one of us to step up and do what we can to close out this primary."

Obama was 184.5 delegates shy of the 2,025 needed to secure the Democratic nomination.

His campaign made broad suggestions that it was time for the 270 remaining unaligned superdelegates — who will determine the outcome of the race — to get off the fence, claiming the delegate math leaves little path for a Clinton victory.

Hillary needs to gracefully admit defeat so that she can try again at a later date. But, Obama has won and we need to unify behind him and work to defeat the repugs. Even the repugs know that she has lost and are trying to swing things her way for their benefit.
