Senator Obama struck a similar (called) chord on NBC’s meet the press program. “I want a Democrat to win in November. So even if Senator Clinton was nominee instead of me, I (will) would still be campaigning for Democrats.”

       Obama leads Clinton in pledged delegates (one) won from primary contests as well as the popular vote of all who have cast ballots in the nominating elections so far. Many political analysts have suggested (that) it will be virtually impossible for Clinton to overtake Obama in pledged delegates in the remaining contests.

       Yet Clinton has won the last 3 contests held in large populous states, two of which (Iowa) Ohio and Pennsylvania are considered (most swaying) must win states for any Democrats to capture the White House in November.

       In addition, Obama has had to endure the firestorms (from) of criticism stemming from recent comments he made that (would) were perceived (does) as demeaning to working class voters as well as (the sidiary) incendiary remarks by his former pastor. The controversies appear to have eroded support for Obama in national polls.

       (When) what remains to be seen (as) is whether they will sway so called super delegates, Democratic Party elders who are not (bonded) bound by primary election results (until) and who also have (vote) a roll to play in deciding the eventual nominee. (Two days) to date there has been no mass exodus of super delegates support away from Obama.
