Former President Jimmy Carter has given Barack Obama a major boost by calling
for the bitter Democratic nomination battle to end on June 3rd and speaking
glowingly of his ability to “transform the image” of America.
Mr Carter did not formally endorse Mr Obama but in an interview with The
Daily Telegraph made crystal clear where his sympathies lie. He even
sketched out the kind of inaugural address the first black United States
president could deliver.
Jimmy Carter's comments are a blow to Hillary Clinton
"I don’t see any reason at all to continue after June 3rd when we know who
got the most [pledged] delegates, who got the most popular votes, who won
the most states and so forth,” said Mr Carter, 83.
June 3rd is when the final primaries will be held, in South Dakota and Montana
Her advisers believe her only hope of defeating Mr Obama would be to persuade
the super-delegates
that they should put aside the
results of the voting and anoint her instead.
