Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-sorta-i-guess dept.

An anonymous reader was one of many who noted that Barack Obama has claimed the Democratic nomination having secured enough delegates and super-delegates to claim victory. Of course, technically this assumes that the supers all vote as they say they will and they are free to change their minds. So no doubt we'll continue to hear debate on this subject until either the convention or Hillary steps down.

    Please explain to us non-US people what's a nomination and what are those delegates and super-delegates.

    Thanks.

    WTF?!?! Does that even make sense?
