UPDATE: The Associated Press has just announced that Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination. According to their tally and the uncommitted delegates they spoke to, Senator Obama will go over the magic number tonight with even the minimum amount of votes (30% of the vote) from Montana and South Dakota.

It's finally over. It should be interesting to watch both of their speeches tonight. Let's see how Senator Clinton handles the loss. Earlier, I wrote about her upcoming speech tonight:

There are now many reports out that Hillary Clinton is preparing a concession speech on Tuesday night after the primary season finally comes to an end with the South Dakota and Montana races. What was the deal struck to make this happen and what are the signs that it's actually going to happen? Get the details in the short video below:

Hilary Clinton has lost!!!!!! It's over!

It's been over for a long time now, but Senator Clinton has managed to hoodwink the media into playing the expectations game -- where people's expectations are more relevant that the reality of who is winning more states and delegates. But reality has a way of catching up with you.

I looked at the number of delegates Clinton and Obama had before the Ohio and Texas contest on March 4th and how many they have now. What do you think the result was? The media has been talking non-stop about Hillary's momentum and how Obama has been stumbling. So, that must mean she has really closed his lead, right?

Well, the reality is that Senator Clinton has lost 53 delegates since then to Barack Obama. He has widened his delegate lead to 155 delegates. She has absolutely no chance of winning this race. None.

How much clearer does this have to be before we call it what it is? She has no momentum. She does not have enough pledged delegates or superdelegates. She will not win the delegate race or the popular vote. She can't go on much longer like this. She will have to face reality very, very soon.

The only question that remains is whether she will be pushed out the door by the rest of the Democratic Party or whether she leaves voluntarily. Stay tuned for how that turns out.

Yesterday on the show, our producer, Jayar Jackson asked just the right question -- why are we still talking about the appearance of Hillary Clinton's victory in Pennsylvania? Doesn't the fact that she only picked up nine delegates from the race do very little for her? If so, why bother discussing whether she has momentum?

We explain below why the appearance of momentum is important in these elections in general and why it's irrelevant and won't help Hillary Clinton at all now.




Of course, Senator Clinton is also addressing her points about momentum and electability to the super-delegates, which is a different kind of voting. But she's losing in that race as well. She argues to these Democratic leaders that she is more electable. If that's the case, then why isn't she winning?
