The AP is reporting Barack Obama has clinched the nomination for the Democratic party nomination. Whether he or Clinton won the party's nomination the Democratic nomination would have been historic. Obama won and thus we have the first black candidate of a major political party. I think it is good for this country and about time for an African American candidate. I do not like the specific candidate, I am more of a Colin Powell type person, but its a good first step.
Sources with the Hillary Clinton campaign stated early, Senator Clinton will acknowledge Barack Obama has the delegates to become the nominee. However, soon after this report surfaced her campaign issued this statement, "Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening." "The 46-year-old first term senator will face Sen. John McCain of Arizona in the fall campaign to become the 44th president." - AP
Tonight will be interesting, what do you think Clinton will do? I think she might stay in it and fight a little longer if at all possible. Clinton put up a fight and fought well, but it was too little too late. The race between McCain and Obama will be interesting, as it starts to heat up in the coming months. I think the age difference will be one of the main factors played in future campaigning between the two. I hope the race card is left un-played, because it diminishes what a Presidential candidate should be.

Good luck on the race card not being played Obama' camp ha been playing it since Bill Clinton's "fantasy" comment. Which wasn't racist.
Race did become an issue in the democratic primaries between Hillary and Obama, but I hope it doesn't come up between McCain and Obama. I wouldn't bet on it though. McCain is not stupid enough to bring it up, but someone at some point will try and make him a racist.
