He's Got It!
FINALLY! The AP is reporting that Obama has “effectively” secured the nomination:
“The 46-year-old first-term senator will face Sen. John McCain of Arizona in the fall campaign to become the 44th president.”
From the AP
Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates, becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.
Campaigning on an insistent call for change, Obama outlasted former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in a historic race that sparked record turnout in primary after primary, yet exposed deep racial divisions within the party.
The AP tally was based on public commitments from delegates as well as more than a dozen private commitments. It also included a minimum number of delegates Obama was guaranteed even if he lost the final two primaries in South Dakota and Montana later in the day. The 46-year-old first-term senator will face Sen. John McCain of Arizona in the fall campaign to become the 44th president.
We’re secretly going to miss you Hil. Now go away.

Seen anything about this yet?
I wanted Obama to win from the start. Up until now I’ve had some worries/difficulties dealing with the possibility of Clinton winning based on the obviously false connection she was trying to make with the American people but now that it’s over and final this video seems like bad form and I hope it won’t discourage woman, in some sub-conscience way, from running for president in the future.
Thank god Hillary ran…
