Obama won't say so yet, but it does look like he won the thing: "Senator Barack Obama last night said he had reached a major milestone toward the Democratic presidential nomination, shortly after Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton scored a big win in Kentucky and pledged to fight on until 'every vote is cast'."
"Tonight ... with the help of those who stood up from Portland to Louisville, we have returned to Iowa with a majority of delegates elected by the American people, and you have put us within reach of the Democratic nomination for president," Mr. Obama said. "We all admire her courage, her commitment and her perseverance," he said. "No matter how this primary ends, Senator Clinton has shattered myths and broken barriers and changed the America in which my daughters and your daughters will come of age and for that we are grateful to her."
Just three primaries remain in the nomination fight — Puerto Rico on June 1 and South Dakota and Montana on June 3.
