Politico.com reported Thursday that Barack Obama plans to declare victory in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination on May 20. Time magazine is already ahead of him. The magazine's May 19 issue features Obama on the cover with the headline "And the Winner* Is..." The small type at the bottom reads, "*Really, we're pretty sure this time."
Kentucky and Oregon hold primaries on May 20. After those contests, Obama will have "the most pledged delegates and the most popular votes," a campaign adviser told Politico.com. Obama is shown at an event commemorating Israel's 60th birthday on Thursday.
Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign said it will dispute any victory claims by Obama. "You can declare mission accomplished but that doesn't mean that the mission has actually been accomplished," said Howard Wolfson, one of Clinton's top strategists. Here, Clinton speaks at a rally in Sioux Falls, S.D., Thursday. Sources: Politico.com, Time.com, AP
