Obama confident of party nomination
Monday, May 05, 2008 08:43 [IST]

barack_obama3_02Washington: On the eve of their next fateful date with Democratic voters, Senator Barack Obama has said that he is confident of winning the party nomination but the race will not over until Senator Hillary Clinton quits.

"I don't think the race is over until Senator Clinton decides that she's getting out or until all the primaries and caucuses have taken place," Obama said during NBC's Meet The Press making the point that his campaign is not going fold if he loses Indiana and North Carolina tomorrow.

"... We are going to keep on going, and we feel confident that ultimately I am going to be the Democratic nominee," the Illinois democrat said.

During conversation, dominated by the recent furore created by his Pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Obama said, "... I think the superdelegates, by rule, can make their own decision. I think the superdelegates are going to take a look not at momentary snapshot polls, but they re going to take a look at who's run the campaign that can bring about change in American and can actually govern after the election."

"The number of new people that we have brought in, the organisations that we have set up in all 50 states, the energy that our campaign has displayed indicates to me and should indicate to the superdelegates that the American people are ready to move in a new direction and that's what we are offering. I am confident, if I am the nominee, that I will offer Democrats the best chance of winning in November," Obama said.

According to a latest delegate count, Obama has 1492 and Senator Clinton 1338.

In the super-delegates category Clinton has 274 as opposed to Obama's 253 with 268 still uncommitted.
