A historic race for the Democratic nomination for the US presidential election is now into its final phase, with the victory of Senator Obama in Oregon primary contest. It is approximately confirmed that Barack Obama will be Democratic Party’s nomination in the upcoming US presidential election in November 2008. Hillary Clinton is trying hard to keep this race on. She has won Kentucky’s primary by a large margin. So, the fight is still on. Speaking about his success in Oregon, Obama said,
We have returned to Iowa with a majority of delegates elected by the American people, you have put us within reach of the Democratic nomination for president of the United States. Senator Clinton has shattered myths and broken barriers and changed the America in which my daughters and yours will come of age.
While commenting on the victory of Kentucky, Mrs Clinton said she would continue to fight
Until we have a nominee - whoever she may be.
However Hillary Clinton is winning the popular votes over Obama. Certainly Barack Obama will not able to win the Democratic nomination very easily because Mrs Clinton all set to fight till her last breath. So far, ‘race of the nominee’ has played a very vital role in these contests. Exit polls conducted by the Associated Press news agency revealed that Mrs Clinton’s Kentucky victory was because of her strong support among the state’s many white working-class voters. But in some states the voting trend is completely different. In Oregon, Mr Obama won 60% of the state’s white voters.
The conundrum over Mr Obama and Mrs Hillary Clinton is almost over but the real battle will start in November when Obama will take heads on to Vetern McCain in the battle for USA President. It is clear that Hillary Clinton’s supporters would prefer to vote for McCain if Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee. And Obama’s supporters are also repeated the same words, they say if Hillary wins the Democratic Party nomination, they will vote for McCain. Anyhow, McCain is in win-win situation.

Clinton has taken Kentucky and Obama is right there in Oregon.
The Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates – as CNN points out clearly

If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama
If you haven’t done so yet, please write a message to each of your state’s superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com
Obama Supporters:
Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It’s that easy...
