Regarding today’s Oregon Primaries, Barack Obama has been projected the winner by all the major news networks. With 95% of precincts reporting, Obama has a 58.7-41.3% lead over Hillary Clinton, and will take 18 pledged delegates to his opponent’s 12.

Overall on the night, Hillary has closed the pledged delegate gap, but — without counting Michigan and Florida — Obama has “clinched” the majority of elected delegates (as of 11:30pm ET, 1636 out of 3253, according to CNN, or 50.3%), although several superdelegates are still in play and there are no signs Clinton will be dropping out before the rest of the contests take place (June 1 in Puerto Rico and June 3 in Montana and South Dakota).

Over on the GOP side, with 95% in, John McCain — the presumptive Republican nominee — is leading Ron Paul 85-15%. Remaining Republican contests include May 27 in Idaho, June 3 in New Mexico and South Dakota and July 12 in Nebraska.
