Including the projected 31 delegates Obama won in Oregon, the 14 we won in Kentucky and the support of superdelegate Congressman Joe Courtney that we announced this morning, Obama has now won a majority of pledged delegates and is just 62 delegates away from securing the nomination.

Edwards pledged delegates now supporting Obama: 9
Obama Pledged Delegates: 1,647.5 (20.5 more than needed for the majority)
