So apparently Sen. Barack Obama was able to gain enough delegates to be the presumptive nominee for the Democratic nominee for president. Speaking in Minnesota, Sen. Obama stated to the mass of supporters, “Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for the president of the United States of America.”
The final Democratic presidential primaries held tonight in South Dakota and Montana when one to one for the two candidates. Sen. Obama winning Montana, and South Dakota going to Sen. Clinton. But while it would seem that Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee to go against Sen. McCain, Sen. Clinton has yet to concede. Shocker. So for now Hillary Clinton will be meeting with her party leaders to discuss her next move. The news has also been going around that she would be willing to be Obama's running mate (VP), but would he want her?
So until the end of the summer when both Republicans and Democrats embrace their candidates for president, it would seem that we are finally entering the next chapter in this election. Or as Sen. Obama stated this evening, "We mark the end of one historic journey and the beginning of another."
