Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois claimed the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday night, NBC News projected based on its tally of convention delegates. By doing so, he shattered a barrier more than two centuries old to become the first black candidate ever nominated by a major political party for the nation’s highest office.

“After 54 hard-fought contests, our primary season has finally come to an end,” Obama told cheerig supporters in a victory celebration in St. Paul, Minn., at the site of the convention that will nominate his Republican opponent in the fall, Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

“Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for the president of the United States of America.”

Obama, 46, of Illinois, hailed his opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, for having “made history in this campaign, not just because she is 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.”

“Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton,” Obama said.

But Clinton refused to give Obama the unalloyed victory he sought.

In a speech to supporters in New York, Clinton said it had been “an honor to contest these primaries with him” and declared that she was “committed to uniting our party so we move forward stronger and more ready than ever to take back the White House this November.”

But she emphasized that she had won more votes in primaries and caucuses than Obama, and she pointedly said she would “be making no decisions tonight.” Instead, she said she would consult with party leaders in the next few days to determine her next step.

Aides said that was a strategic decision to preserve her leverage to negotiate over policy disagreements and the possibility that she would join Obama’s ticket as the vice presidential nominee.

Superdelegates put Obama over the top
In a speech Tuesday night in New Orleans, meanwhile, McCain welcomed Obama to the general election campaign as a “formidable” opponent. But he said he was “ready for the challenge and determined to run this race in a way that does credit to our campaign and to the proud, decent and patriotic people I ask to lead.”

She's poison so hopefully Obama refuses to give her the VP spot especially since she's the status quo and Obama is campaigning on change. As of tonight Obama has the magic 2118 delegates and there is nothing Hillary can do to stop him from becoming the nominee. It's clear despite her "I'm not conceding" speak today she defacto is quiting as she is firing all her campaign staff. Maybe she wants to pretend to stick in the race so she can milk some more donations from her brain addled supporters but defacto she's done.

Hmm. AFAIK, a thread title is not a promise. We all have RSS feeds and newsreaders available. No animals were killed in the titling of this thread. So I just don't see why this is such a big deal. If I didn't know better, I would be tempted to think it's some sort of personal issue.

It is personal. He's been stalking me in multiple threads over the last several days both here and in other forums. He's doing exactly what he did with all the "jew" threads from another poster. He's been repeatedly warned but he keeps doing it and the mods never follow up with their warnings.

The rumor is that she's waiting to announce defeat as an incentive for the VP spot.

I've never been warned specifically about you, and I'm not stalking you...I kind of am a prolific poster in the OTF. Get over yourself.

Uh.... It isn't likely, but saying there is nothing she can do is a bit too far. Superdelegates aren't exactly locked in to who they said they'd go for. They are going to vote for Obama, but they could easily decide at the last second to vote for Gore and give no one a win.

Ok, you are right about the super delegates. Theoretically they could change their minds so I will amend it to highly unlikely that she can change anything.

I've seen several blog posts saying just that. She's refusing to officially concede even as she fires all her campaign staff because she wants Obama to make her VP and pay back the $20 million in debt she racked up attacking him. Let her sink and don't offer her anything more then some third teir cabinet position. After she resigns her senate seat he can fire her after she mouths off to the press (and you just know she will).

Not this thread exactly, but the same topic of one side saying Hillary to concede (the AP), while Hillary clearly not conceding.

Don't hurt me!
