Obama set to triumph over Clinton in next few days

BARACK OBAMA may be just two days away from winning the Democrats' presidential nomination.

The Illinois senator - who is just 42 votes off the 2026 needed - could know if he has enough by the end of the last three primaries on Tuesday.

He picked up two delegates on Friday and leads Hillary Clinton by 200 with Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota still to decide.

But Obama also faces dealing with two states stripped of their delegates.

The party's rules committee were meeting yesterday to divide up the Michigan and Florida delegates.

The states' primaries were not included because they held their contests too early.
