Obama had no primary challenge of any kind ... but all of the states will hold a Dem primary anyway.

The states hold primaries no matter how many candidates are remaining.

However, there are a few state primaries left (most of them tomorrow), but that is essentially just a formality now since he has already won.

I would think that it is normal for the nominee to be decided well before the final state primary votes are concluded (although I'm too lazy to look up any statistics to verify that).

But on NJ's ballot (primary tomorrow), Ron Paul, Newter, and Man on Dog are still listed.

I'd love to see Moneybags get a run for his money here.
