Jimmy Carter will endorse Barack Obama when the polls close tonight in South Dakota and Montana, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Carter will be among a slew of big-name superdelegates officially giving their blessing to Obama today, the last day of the primary season. In fact, the AP reports that Obama already has reached the magic number of 2,118 to clinch the nomination, though other news outlets have him just on the brink. (More Jimmy Carter stories.)
