ABC News and the Associated Press project Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, becoming the first black candidate to lead a major party into a campaign for the White House.

Hillary Rodham Clinton swiftly signaled her interest in joining his ticket as running mate. Obama sealed his nomination victory Tuesday, based on public declarations from many "superdelegates" as well as private support from others who confirmed their intentions to The Associated Press.

    at least it is not a choice of being a chauvinst or a racist any more.

    Cannot imagine Obama's wife as first lady, she isn't proud to be American, well now I am not either. No democracy, just a few called delegate decide and majority votes don't count. And money, president office goes to the one with the most money. what a shame no more American dream. If I was younger and could afford it I would be checking on leaving this country before it completely dies.

    Hussein Nobama is the best thing to happen to the republican party since Slick Willie or peanut head Carter; now if he will just take Bilious Sebelius down with him.
