BARACK Obama has conceded defeat to Hillary Clinton in today's Democratic White House primary in Indiana but, on the back of a win in North Carolina, offered himself up as the only candidate who could truly unite American voters.
"I want to start by congratulating Senator Clinton on what appears to be her victory in the great state of Indiana," Senator Obama told a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina - even amid uncertainty over who had actually won.
CBS News called Indiana for Senator Clinton, but others were more hesitant and, several hours after polls closed, NBC News and Fox News continued to categorise the race as too close to call.
Senator Clinton later claimed victory in Indiana.
Senator Obama thanked his supporters for his victory in North Carolina, which followed a difficult month marked by new controversy over his fiery former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and his remarks that some working-class voters were "bitter".
"Because of you, we've seen that it's possible to overcome the politics of division and the politics of distraction, that it's possible to overcome the same old negative attacks that are always about scoring points and never about solving our problems," the Illinois senator said to cheering crowds.
He paid tribute to Senator Clinton as "a formidable opponent", and, while acknowledging that the results were unlikely to end the long-running and bitter battle between the two rivals, said the Democrats would come together to fight Republican John McCain in November's presidential election.

His speech was great...the guy can speak...and that goes a long way...especially after the last 8 years.
Somebody stole the election in Indiana. I’m not sure who yet, but I’m sure somebody stole it.
If there’s a Clinton nearby we can be guaranteed something will be stolen!!!
Oscar Charlie reigns!
Pass the smelling salts......Hussein swooner on board!
He can only speak when he’s got a cue card and a fawning media. If the press treated him like they treat W, he’d be a much worse public speaker than W. And that’s saying something.
If there is honor among elitist thieves, then the two candidates might still share the spoils, or ballot....
EVERYBODY, CLING!
When he is asked a tough question off script, he stutters and stumbles all over himself. He can’t talk and think at the same time because he apparently has a pea-sized brain.
Apparently so is ‘Operation Eliminate Hillary’
***Operation Chaos is a resounding success***
Whazzamatter, he running away since the dreaded words “election fraud” have been whispered?
Yep, not impressed with his intellect myself, though he is smarter than his idiot wife.
“A very genuine congratulations, I’m sure... “
Yes - as the old expression goes - it’s really “white of him”.
Obama not articulate-but but he is a graduate of the Harvard Law School
Operation Chaos is a resounding success
Sure coulda turned out better. Fox News is still not definitively calling HRC the winner in Indiana, and BHO won by double the poll numbers. I said before that NC required the biggest effort, and it turned out abysmally.
“His speech was great...the guy can speak...and that goes a long way...especially after the last 8 years”
You’ve got to be kidding yourself.
All the clown does is tell us what’s wrong with America. Has he offered any solutions? Most any clown can point out things that are wrong. What’s Hussein going to do about it?
He’ll divide this nation like never before. Screw the idiots that support him.
If you’ve got an “Obama” bumper sticker on your car, you should get another one to put next to it that says, “God DXXX America!”
What's that all about!?
You praise a Marxist, or even Ba'athist, stooge for his silver tongue over an unpretentiously earnest and sincere Methodist man that would have been much more comfortable with the Reverend Spooner than Reverend Wright.
Yeah I know all action no talk is not something you’re used to.
And the Unabomber is a Harvard graduate as well.
Not so fast!
We can still deliver 23000 votes for you Obama!
So what, I spent the night at a Holiday Inn last night.
According to Drudge, the margin is down to 16,609. Only three thousand more and it will round out to 50/50. Does Obama unconcede when Gary’s votes make him the winner?
The Democrat contest makes me think of Henry Kissinger’s comment on the Iran-Iraq war, to the effect that it’s a shame they can’t both lose.
He will, if he can get enough vote from a recount.
Nice move, keep this Chaos going for another month!
“Obama not articulate-but but he is a graduate of the Harvard Law School”
Au contraire, I find him TOO articulate (at least with scripted speeches), and he was President of the Harvard Law Review. Slick Willie has officially been replaced.
Hillary plans to huddle with undecided super delegates tomorrow; gauging if she can go on... Developing...

“Does Obama unconcede when Gary’s votes make him the winner?”
What a nightmare the way these two primaries went tonight. Indiana is looking like a bad Twilight Zone episode. If I were paranoid, I’d think the BHO movement has an OC of its own going on. Or that he struck a deal with the devil long ago.
So could this charming little feller...and as side bonus his woman was quiet:
Obama has never uttered a substantive word.
Agreed. And it is not just his speaking. He is signing up millions of new voters. At a recent city fair where a county voter registration trailer was set up, there was a line of people registering for the first time - nearly all for Obama.
The county workers said they had never seen a line, that usually they take a handful of new voter registrations at an event like that.
As for those registering, they had questions like, should I register Republican or Democrat if I want to vote for Obama and what day do we vote, is it soon?
Someone can say a speech is well delivered without agreeing with its content. Let's not jump off the deep end because someone makes an objective observation.
If you think Obama is a poor speaker, let us know why. Otherwise, spare the drivel. You know what he meant.
LOL, the race baiting militant cannot win the general.
The trolls are not as clever as they were last election.
When does the purge start?
We hope.
McCain can still clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.
In some ways this increasingly socialist and "diverse" nation deserves a lesson in race baiting African-American President. But will America survive that lesson? They say that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Unfortunately, Hussein supporters are more tolerated here than Rudy’s were.
And he was the only candidate talking about purging the State Dept of anti-Americans, saying their era must end.
Oh well.
I hope you are right. I also hope that some people come out of the woodwork to join Obama's gay lover/cocaine buddy Larry Sinclair in talking openly about Obama's "down low" habits.
No we don't deserve it, especially our military.The militant would set the SCOTUS back decades. We made gains on this court under President Bush and I'm not giving it back.
Noticed that too.
McCain scares me. I don't know if he has what it takes to fight to win. He's all wishy-washy and determined to run an "honorable campaign" while the rats chew him up like a squirrel carcass. Plus, he's decided to throw the conservative Republican base overboard, so there goes any hope of significant grassroots funding. What, he thinks he's going to get enthusiasm and money from know-nothing "moderates" and "Reagan Democrats"? Please... Man, I think I smell a loser right there.
"I know your deeds. I know you are neither hot nor cold. How I wish you were one or the other, hot or cold! But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth." (Rev 3:15-16).
I think America may vomit McCain out of its mouth.
Oh, shut up.
That will be interesting. I’m sure we will be hearing a lot more about this militant after he secures the nomination.
LOL...I love you too dear.
I first saw him on Opra and said “he was an orator”....but the message...He says nothing. It’s just a “smooth sound”. EMPTY
Hillary to huddle with super delegates. To rephrase that...”Hillary to lay the “secret files” on the table.”
“Thank you from saving my campaign the embarassment of stolen votes in Gary becoming national news.”
Obama stole it but didn’t get enough to pull it out. And the party would rather avoid the embarassment.
I’m not speaking about the content of his speeches, I’m talking about his oratory skills. If you can’t even admit that the guy is good, you’re living in a fool’s paradise. His audience will fall hook, line and sinker, because they’re IDIOTS. But Bush was a terrible speaker and this guy is good...what is so wrong about pointing out the obvious?
