WASHINGTON - Barack Obama clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, becoming the first black candidate to lead a major party into a campaign for the White House.

Vanquished rival Hillary Rodham Clinton swiftly signaled an interest in joining the ticket as his running mate.

Obama arranged a victory celebration in St. Paul, Minn., at the site of this summer's Republican National Convention — an in-your-face gesture to Sen. John McCain, who will be his opponent in the race to become the nation's 44th president.

the moonbats are already out in force (I work not far from Xcel Center)

there are actually women in homemade costumes “Obama Mommas”.

I was considering going to touch his garment and be healed of my smoking addiction.

I don’t think that the clintoons can get this close to regaining 1600 PA Ave. and walk away without a shot fired.

Is this a new version of the same AP story that Clinton’s campaign has said is false?

We are NOT witnessing the end of Hillary - what we are really witnessing is an out and out media war against her.

Can I just say this... What is with so many here at FR that they are giddy at this? Stop and think for a minute - once Hillary is gone, who are these same reporters going to turn against? They are going to pull out all the stops, just as they are doing against her today. Frankly, it should scare the HECK out of EVERYONE! I’m no fan of Hillary’s, but I fear that Obama is unstoppable with the amount of love the media has for him...

I’ve despised the clintoons for 16+ years and somehow barry is more frightening to me.

I am with you FRiend. An obama presidency is downright scary to think about.

I think back of him giving hillary the finger in a couple of his speeches, what an absolutely arrogant symbol for the first black man to achieve such prestige to exhibit.

“What is with so many here at FR that they are giddy at this?”
