Well, it has been a relatively quite Sunday in the political world even though we did have a primary today.

Sen. Hillary Clinton has won the Puerto Rico primary, to no surprise of anyone following this race. It is an impressive victory, yet, no matter how impressive, you still can’t help but feel the meaningless aura around it. She did manage to slightly pad her popular vote total and will come out of PR with a few more delegates.

For Obama, he also padded his popular vote total just a bit and will still gain just a few delegates to get him that much closer to clinching the nomination.

The bigger step towards clinching

The ruling yesterday by the Rules & Bylaws committee of the DNC was interesting on several levels.

First, it pretty much drowned the arguments and the hype that Hillary Clinton has been spewing on the trail for the last several weeks. She got her delegates seated, she got the votes counted, and still came out of it no better shape than she was before the ruling.

Second, Obama made himself look really good yesterday by agreeing to compromise on the Michigan ruling. They fully had the votes to have it split 50/50 but instead gave even more and agreed to the 69/59 delegate count.

Third, the new magic number to clinch the nomination is now 2,118. As of this post, Obama only needs right at 46 delegates to clinch the nomination.

The flood is coming in the next 48 hours

The buzz around the media world is that Obama is going to be unveiling a slew of superdelegates between now and Tuesday evening.

Tuesday night is likely going to be a final victory speech for Obama, according to several sources. With the delegates he will pick up in South Dakota and Montana, along with rolling out say 25-30 superdelegates, Tuesday night could be the time that they officially call the race for themselves.

The next day or two will be really interesting and it is looking like Obama is going to come out of looking really good for the general election.
