Primaries End, Clinton Drops Out?, Obama Wins Another Michigan Superdelegate

The long Democratic Primary season concludes Tuesday when voters in South Dakota and Montana have their say.

Once the 31 delegates at stake are allocated Tuesday night, Obama expects to have reached the magic number of 2,118 delegates to secure the Democratic nomination.

Meanwhile, Clinton Campaign officials say the Senator will acknowledge the fact that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the democratic nomination Tuesday night, effectively ending the former first lady's bid.

Officials also say Clinton will pledge to continue to speak out on issues like healthcare in her speech Tuesday night in New York city, but her campaign to be the first woman president will likely be over. 

 As news circulates of Clinton's campaign coming to an end, another Michigan superdelegate has endorsed Obama.

Joyce Lalonde of Eastpointe says she is supporting Obama because he wants to create an education system that puts children first.

She is the eighth superdelegate from our state to endorse Obama.  Seven have endorsed Senator Clinton.

As the primaries end Tuesday, more superdelegates are expected to support Obama.
