Approaching the Finish Line

From the Chicago Tribune:
A Democratic source said at least five to 10 House members would endorse Obama on Tuesday morning, at least 10 senators will endorse him by the end of the day and an additional 10 superdelegates will also endorse him during the day. That would assure enough delegates by the end of the day to clinch the nomination.
From the NY Times:
...endorsements from at least eight Senate, House members could come the moment the South Dakota polls close tonight.
The support of those super-delegates combined with the elected-delegates Obama receives from today's primaries in Montana and South Dakota should put him over the top in the count of delegates needed to secure the nomination.

This has been such a long and often times painful nominating contest that I just won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes.

As the President would say: "Heh, heh....I have cautioulistic hopefulism. Heh!"
