Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) clinched the Democratic nomination on Tuesday night, making him the first African American to win a major party’s nomination.
Obama locked down the nomination as remaining superdelegates announced their support for the Illinois Senator. “Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States,” Obama said.
Even though Obama has obtained the 2,118 delegates needed for the nomination, Senator Hilary Clinton (D-NY) has yet to concede. “Sen. Hillary Clinton has made history in this campaign not just because she’s a woman who has done what no woman has done before, but because she’s a leader who inspires millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to the causes that brought us here tonight,” Obama said.
The fun has only just begun though. Obama now moves on to battle it out with Senator John McCain, the Republican nominee, for the office of the President of the United States.
