Obama to reach delegate milestone Lucia Hrusovska

A big battle taking place on American continent is still more than actual. Two biggest rivals, senator of Illinois Barack Obama and a senator of New York Hillary Rodham Clinton are still in a fight for a chance to become a new president of the most mighty country in the world, United States of America. Both of the candidates are now trying to receive the biggest possible number of votes to get a possibility to candidate for a post of USA president. A condition determining a chance to clinch the nomination is to have at least a number of 2,026 out of the all 3,253 pledged delegates available. At the fist sight it could seem, that a victory of Obama' candidacy can not be endangered by almost anything, but the truth is, that in spite of the fact Obama is in a lead and is in a relative satisfactory advance of his rival, Hillary Clinton, he is still short of delegates and needs to capture endorsements from another one hundred. Obama hopes to get missing votes from superdelegates. As he has said few days ago, he does not see any reason, why superdelegates should not support the candidate, who had already been chosen by the majority of people. Just on Monday, Obama was given another six endorsements, while his opponent Hillary Clinton did not pick up any. It seems, that everything goes according to Obama's victory plan, but as Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said, there is a need to be careful, because Senator McCain together with president Bush had already begun preparing their attacks on Obama.
