What Tomorrow Could Mean - from Obama for America
We're poised to reach a major milestone tomorrow.

When the votes are counted in Oregon and Kentucky, we could secure a majority of delegates elected by the voters.

A clear majority of elected delegates will send an unmistakable message -- the people have spoken, and they are ready for change.

As we near victory in one contest, the next challenge is already heating up. President Bush and Senator McCain have begun coordinating their attacks on Barack Obama in an effort to extend their failed policies for a third term.

Last week, President Bush used a speech before the Israeli parliament to launch an unprecedented partisan attack. Senator McCain echoed his divisive misrepresentation of Barack's foreign policy vision, engaging in the same fear-mongering and distortion.

Barack responded forcefully -- you can see a preview of the tough responses he will always give to GOP attacks in this video:

We're just 16 pledged delegates away from reaching an absolute majority.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow night to see Barack's speech.

Thank you,

David

1. I wonder what time?
Oregon won't release it's results until 8 pm local time. That's 11 pm EST. I guess he can give the speech after KY is called. It will be called early, probably as soon as the polls close. Obama should net 16 from there(as long as he gets 35%), and have the right to claim Pledged Delegate victory.

3. Al at The Field has Obama grabbing 19 delegates from KY with only 31% of the vote.
KY will finish Hillary off.

4. I wish someone would get out the traps, capture that Hilly and send her back
home.

She's long since gone off the freakin' deep-end.

2. This brings me to my serious fear... that is if Bush and Administration begin to realize...
that McCain does not stand a chance against Obama, what might they do to make certain that we will not have an Obama Presidency? Would they go as far as making certain that some sort of emergency arises prior to November that would nullify the elections such as a hit on Iran?
