Barack Obama Says He May Be Able to Claim Nomination on May 20 By Kristin Jensen and Alison Fitzgerald May 8 (Bloomberg) -- Barack Obama said he may win enough delegates in the May 20 Kentucky and Oregon primaries to claim victory in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. ``That will be an important day,'' Obama, 46, an Illinois senator, said in an interview on NBC today. If he has a majority of pledged delegates on that day, he said, ``Then we can make a pretty strong claim that, yeah, we've got the most runs and it's the ninth inning, and yeah, we've won.'' Obama has compiled a lead in delegates and the popular vote that's virtually insurmountable for his rival, New York Senator Hillary Clinton, 60. Even so, Clinton is vowing to fight on and pushing for the recognition of votes in Michigan and Florida, which lost their right to send delegates to the Democratic convention after moving up their primaries. Obama has 1,846 delegates to Clinton's 1,696, according to an unofficial Associated Press tally. A candidate needs 2,025 to claim the nomination. The remaining six Democratic contests have a total of 217 pledged delegates at stake, and Clinton is more than 300 shy of the number needed for the nomination, excluding Michigan and Florida. West Virginia holds a primary on May 13 with 28 delegates at stake. Kentucky and Oregon together have 103. Obama said earlier on CNN that he expects Clinton to win West Virginia and Kentucky. Obama is favored in Oregon. Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe told Bloomberg Television today that he expects the primary race to be over by June. Uncommitted superdelegates, Democratic Party officials and lawmakers who get an automatic vote at the convention, will start moving in waves after voting ends on June 3, he said. Until then, ``let's let the voters vote,'' McAuliffe said.
