WASHINGTON - Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday after a grueling marathon, 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 and gender divisions within the party.

The tally was based on public declarations from delegates as well as from another 15 who have confirmed their intentions to the AP. It also included 11 delegates Obama was guaranteed as long as he gained 30 percent of the vote in South Dakota and Montana later in the day. It takes 2,118 delegates to clinch the nomination

Barack Obama has effectively clinched the Democratic nomination, The Associated Press reported Tuesday afternoon, even as Hillary Clinton’s campaign rigorously battled reports that she would concede the race Tuesday night.

The Associated Press reported that based on public and private commitments from superdelegates, as well as the minimum amount of delegates Obama will earn in the final South Dakota and Montana primaries, Obama will have secured the Democratic race Tuesday. That was after the AP reported Clinton will concede later in the day that Obama has enough delegates to stake claim to the party’s presidential nomination.

The Clinton campaign issued an immediate denial to the latter story, though it left the door open for what would happen come Wednesday morning.

“The AP story is incorrect. Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening,” the campaign said in a statement.

Clinton aides told FOX News that the only concession she will make Tuesday night is that Obama “has a slight lead in the delegate count.”

They said Clinton plans to claim she has won the popular vote, and is working up a victory-type speech for her address in New York City.

“She is in this race until we have a nominee. We do not expect there to be one tonight,” Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said.

Xiomarra:

I for say

@jama:
I did not know that you beat me to this incredible news.
I guess, it doesn't matter; for this victory, I think Obama deserves 10 topics.

They said Clinton plans to claim she has won the popular vote, and is working up a victory-type speech for her address in New York City.

Hillary is a sick woman.

@Xiomarra don't even start with me, if you must know, there is nothing another man can do for me but clean Shampoo my carpet.

You can stick a fork in Clinton the selfish witch she is DONE.

Prelude to his concelebrated failure. That dude will not win 20% popular votes. I think the democrats are trying to fix the election and cede it to the republicans. yaradua will even win more votes than obama in america.

It has been confirmed by a New York Law maker that Hillary is very open to be Barack Obama's running mate.

Again, the ceremony is about to begin! Where is LL cool J?

OBAMA does not need Hillary. She will be catastrophic once she gets in the white house, she will make sure Obama does not get a second nomination.

OBAMA please listen to all your AFRICAN Brothers. Do not pick Queen drama. There are more versatile and charismatic female governor that will make a good candidate

Get in there!

If my obama picks Hillary as running mate, na me and am
I don't want Hillary anywhere near him.

after all she's done
no way.
Rev wright has a better chance to be running mate than her.
all her arkansas juju and babalawo visits  no work
she even wanted someone to shoot Obama or give him otapiapia to drink
e no work
Obama I hope you're listening.

The woman na one real "I dey Kampe"

I wonder what she is actually waiting for. The longer she drags on to this, the more she looks like a joke. Just this morning feelers from her camp was that she would accept Barack nomination. Within an hr, a counter statement showed up that she is not conceding defeat, at least not yet. Them swear for the woman  

In South Dakota and Montana (the last two states remaining) , Obama is leading the polls. Wetin the woman dey wait for?

Una never hear? "HELL HATH NO FURY FOR A WOMAN SCORNED" If Hilary na man, she for don quit since but instead she go quit, she go cause more problem for democrats sotee two of them go lose the election.

Watch another drama queen giving it raw to Obama :
