2156 & Counting.....

At the time this post was written Sen. Obama needed 2,118 delegates to secure the nomination. He has officially secured 2,156 & Counting...

On the night of June 3rd 2008- History was made, America nominated an African American to be the Democratic Nominee to be the President of the United States.

Sen. McCain- gave a bland speech focusing on Sen. Obama

Sen. Clinton- did not concede, continued press why she would make a better President. Did nothing to heal wounds in the party (that were ironically caused by her & her campaign) and continued her efforts to tarnish the Clinton name & legacy.

WATCH BELOW



Sen. Obama- Thanked his supporters, his family. From all accounts graciously thanked Sen. McCain and Sen Clinton. He continued saying running against Sen. Clinton has made him a better candidate. And then squarely focused on the fact that this moment, this night belonged to the United States and to all Americans. A very Presidential speech, very inclusive to all Americans who desire change.

By all accounts- this nomination highlights a significant win for Sen. Obama as much as a significant loss for Clinton. Sen. Obama essentially learned the game, mastered the game and effectively CHANGED the game bringing in more new voters than any other candidate, recruiting an amazingly broad demographic of people of all ages, gender, race and political beliefs.

According to news reports the next phase of the Clinton campaign is to fight for either:

1. Take the fight to Denver
2. Force Sen. Obama to pick her as his VP.
3. Continuing fighting/negotiating - prominent position in an Obama cabinent, for Obama campaign to help pay off Clinton campaign debts, jobs for both herself and Bill
(yes.. seriously)
