NY Times predicts Obama nomination.

Well, here you have it: The New York Times reports, "Support for Clinton Wanes as Obama Sees Finish Line."

The article mentions several important points:

Former presidential candidate George McGovern (who endorsed Obama on Wednesday) claims that a Clinton win is mathematically impossible. Furthermore, Clinton's supporters have grown tentative in their optimism and assurance of moving the campaign forward. Superdelegates have been hesitant to meet with Clinton.

(Also, it's worth noting that the exact counts of net gains in delegates are still shifting.)
