Sen. Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination for president, according to CNN estimates, making him the first African-American in U.S. history to lead a major-party ticket.
Obama picked up a slew of superdelegate endorsements on Tuesday. Those endorsements, combined with the delegates he's projected to receive from South Dakota's primary, will put him past the 2,118 threshold,
Clinton has still not conceded. Rumors are circling that Clinton will be Obama's running mate in November.
Also in Obama news.... Rev. Michael Pfleger, was asked to "take leave for a couple of weeks from his pastoral duties" by the Archdiocese of Chicago after the remarks he made about Clinton at a Sunday sermon.
