Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic presidential nomination
Last Updated on Wednesday, 4 June 2008 01:17 Posted by Kerry | Filed under U.S. Wednesday, 4 June

We reported earlier today that Hillary Clinton could end her White House race tonight and now we are hearing that Barack Obama has indeed clinched the Democratic presidential nomination. After today’s results, we can now confirm that Obama is the first black candidate to lead a major party into a campaign for the White House.
With Barack Obama becoming Sen. John McCain’s opponent in the race for the title of 44th president, we wonder whom the United States would want as their Commander and Chief. This Democratic campaign has been reported to had some of the highest turnouts for primaries and it also highlighted some gender and deep racial divisions within the Democratic Party.
We have also heard rumors that Clinton may be open to becoming Obama’s running mate, this is an idea that could help see the Democratic party get to the White House. The Associated Press has said that 22 delegates and superdelegates have confirmed their intentions to support Barack Obama, add this to state Democratic caucuses, primary elections and other delegates’ public declarations…Barack Obama has sealed his victory.
Are you happy that Barack Obama has become the Democratic presidential nomination?
We all know that John McCain is the nomination for the Republicans, but what kind of White House race would it of been if we had Ron Paul vs. Barack Obama?
