CHARLESTON, W. VA. (AP) -- Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama picked up two pledged delegates Monday from the official results of the Ohio presidential primary held March 4th.

The Associated Press had withheld the two delegates because of the large number of provisional ballots cast in Ohio on Election Day.

According to the Ohio Secretary of State's office, almost 100,000 provisional ballots were counted.

Obama leads in delegates needed to secure the Democratic presidential nomination, even though he's expected to lose badly tomorrow to rival Hillary Rodham Clinton in West Virginia.

He'll try to move on from the loss by campaigning for general election votes in Missouri -- a state President Bush won in 2000 and 2004.
