Senator Hillary Clinton beat Senator Barack Obama 65-30% in Kentucky scoring 54 pledged delegates. Meanwhile Obama beat Clinton 58-42% in Oregon, adding 39 more delegates to his tally. According to the Associated Press, Obama now has 1,956 delegates to Clinton&#8217;s 1,776, although not all of yesterday&#8217;s delegates have been allocated as counting continues in Oregon. A candidate needs 2,026 delegates to secure the nomination and Obama is counting on his continued lead in the race to convince the Party&#8217;s superdelegates to back him. Only three more Democratic contests remain: Montana, South Dakota, and Puerto Rico. Meanwhile Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, has seen a total of five members of his campaign resign in the past few days, the latest being Mark McKinnon who early on promised not to work against an Obama candidacy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: John Nichols, political writer for the Nation, co-founder of Free Press Yesterday&#8217;s primary elections in Kentucky and Oregon still did not yield a definitive winner for the Democratic presidential nomination.
