@ mamajama
Please always get your info correct before posting on the net. I just finished visiting BBC’s website. Although you are correct about Obama’s vote being high, it has not been officially declared by the party. Clinton is not backing down. So please take it easy so that you don’t dash people’s hope.

Mrs Clinton has no choice,We have Flush her out of the Race,but been compassionate people We will consider giving her vice president post because she has come this far

You mean my mother-in-law has lost?

No way! my wife- Chelsea- didnt tell me that

FYI, After Hillary, my wife is next, then I will take over from her to become the first Nigerian to rule the US

N.B- Nobody should mail me for appointments and contracts, as it won't be business as usual

[size=19pt]Obama seals nomination [/size]

WASHINGTON — Change is coming, that much Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama agree on as they plunge into a five-month campaign for the White House.
The primaries behind them, the presidential rivals were wasting no time drawing the battle line for a fall fight that will make history with the election of either the oldest first-term president in McCain or the first black leader in Obama. In speeches marking the start of the general election, both maneuvered for the advantage with voters sour on the status quo.McCain, a four-term Arizona senator seeking to succeed a fellow Republican, uttered the word “change” more than 30 times as he tried to distance himself from President Bush and blister his Democratic rival. Obama uttered the phrase 19 times in a speech that claimed the Democratic presidential nomination.

“The wrong change looks not to the future but to the past for solutions that have failed us before and will surely fail us again,” McCain, 71, said in suburban New Orleans. “I have a few years on my opponent, so I am surprised that a young man has bought into so many failed ideas.”
In St. Paul, Minn., Obama, 46 and a first-term Illinois senator, ceded no ground on the reformer mantle and cast McCain as a continuation of the unpopular Bush’s eight-year tenure.“My differences with him are not personal; they are with the policies he has proposed in this campaign. Because while John McCain can legitimately tout moments of independence from his party in the past, such independence has not been the hallmark of his presidential campaign,” Obama said.
The campaign is the first in half a century in which neither a sitting president nor a vice president is running for the highest office, and the first since 1960 in which a senator will assume the White House. A fragile economy and an ongoing Iraq war, as well as matters of age and race serve as a backdrop.
Both McCain and Obama were full of praise for defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton as the two sought to make a play for her loyalist backers — women and working-class voters.



Clinton, the New York senator and former first lady, stopped short of dropping out of the race even though Obama had reached the requisite delegate count for the Democratic Party’s nomination. Instead of conceding, Clinton said she would spend the next few days determining “how to move forward with the best interests of our country and our party guiding my way.”
Behind the scenes, she maneuvered for the vice presidential spot on Obama’s fall ticket, expressing a willingness in a conference call with her state’s congressional delegation. “I am open to it” if it would help the party’s prospects in November, Clinton replied, according to participants who spoke on condition of anonymity because the call was private. Obama’s aides were noncommittal.
In the meantime, the party was swinging behind him.
Officials said Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland was ready to endorse him on Wednesday.
Additionally, party leaders readied a statement urging uncommitted superdelegates in Congress and among the ranks of governors to state their preference by Friday. Several officials said that while they wanted to unify the party quickly, they were also determined not to appear to push Clinton out of the race, particularly since she will be returning to the Senate once her presidential bid is over.
On Wednesday, both Obama and Clinton were addressing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobbying group.
On the final night of the primary season, Clinton won South Dakota while Obama took Montana — and a slew of party superdelegates who declared their support to help him clinch the party nod. He did it, according to The Associated Press tally, based on primary elections, state Democratic caucuses and support from superdelegates. It took 2,118 delegates to clinch the nomination at the convention in Denver this summer, and Obama had 2,144 by the AP count.
In contrast to the 17-month Democratic primary, Republicans gave McCain the status of likely GOP nominee in March. Since then, McCain has laid the groundwork for the general election campaign by portraying Obama as lacking the experience and judgment needed to be commander in chief.
McCain spoke first and he accused his younger rival of voting “to deny funds to the soldiers who have done a brilliant and brave job” in Iraq. It was a reference to 2007 legislation to pay for the Iraq war, a measure Obama opposed, citing the lack of a timetable for withdrawing troops.
The Republican was taking his message — that he has a record of reform while his opponent simply has rhetoric — directly to the voters in morning appearances on network news programs from Louisiana, where he will campaign later Wednesday.
Obama addressed thousands of cheering backers in the same Minnesota arena where Republicans will hold their nominating convention in early September. He promised an aboveboard debate and seemed to suggest that the GOP simply engages in divisive politics.
Said Obama: “What you don’t deserve is another election that’s governed by fear, and innuendo, and division. What you won’t hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge and patriotism as a bludgeon — that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize.”

These Democrats won't cease to amaze me.

Instead of accepting defeat and joining forces to fight McCain, Clinton is busy ranting.

Why are they behaving like Ibos

wetin consign ibos for the matter na?

Barack Obama has made history while Hillary Clinton is history

Cheers!

Congrat,a deserve one

OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES WE CAN. This is truly a historic moment, not Only in American history but in African history and Black history as well. This is someone whose father abandoned him at a very young age, he was raised by a single mother, he got into drugs at some point in his life, he lost an election for congress by a huge margin in 2000 and yet hear he is today, standing tall as the very first Black Democratic Nominee for President of The United States of America. I don't think we should expect Obama to treat blacks more favourably than whites or hispanics or asians (that would be wrong on all levels),  however what he brings to every single American is hope. Hope for the young black boy or black girl in the ghetto whose mother works three jobs to put food on the table that if they work hard, never give up (not like Hillary's madness oh. Dat one done colo) and keep believing, anything is possible in America, the American Dream is real (I wish I could say the same for Nigeria today but sadly I cannot. Anyway I believe we can change things).
I genuinely feel that Obama is the Martin Luther King Jr of the Twenty First Century. King started this journey with the civil rights movement in 1955 and was killed for it forty years ago and today in the year 2008, Barack Hussein Obama has taken that journey to another level. I also cannot forget to mention how thrilled I am with White Americans, thrilled that the vast majority of White Americans today judge a man by the content of his heart and not by the colour of his skin. That shows that we are living in very different times and although there is still a lot to be done, none of us have any excuse to not go for what we want and do what we believe in today. YES WE CAN!!!

. . .According 2 d AP, Hillary Clinton revealed 2 New York lawmakers that she would accept an Obama offer to be the VP.

weather the inevitable controversies, most notably one caused by the incendiary rhetoric of his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

At first, Obama said he could not break with his longtime spiritual adviser. Then, when Wright spoke out anew, Obama reversed course and denounced him strongly.

Clinton struggled with self-inflicted wounds. Most prominently, she claimed to have come under sniper fire as first lady more than a decade earlier while paying a visit to Bosnia.

Instead, video-tapes showed her receiving a gift of flowers from a young girl who greeted her plane

I think thatz a great liberation 4 the blacks.

Wondering where that Rev Wrong will bury his head

Obama, says "I will be the democratic nominee of the United States of America in 2008" Big congrats!! Your self confidence and composure is overwhelming. You're a Hero who has made one of the greatest impact in the political world, etc

Clinton, I wonder who's doing the bidding now

About the race, I think Hillary Clinton's actions EQUALS Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello's alledged actions. Both are both controversial.

I jus hope the bad belles dun kill him

I think thatz a great liberation for the blacks.

This is election not racism olodo!Pls dont introduce racism o!

Am very happy for my brother barack obama.We have been in these for long.Now victory is certain!

@ ima1,I totally agree with you.
Barack has fought a good fight, run a good race.

The race is over!

iceland:

Am very happy for my brother barack obama.We have been in these for long.Now victory is certain!

Na who be your brother? Ole. You better go find your brother for main market.

Obama should treat Hilary on her personal merit.
All things considered including the fact that she looks like one who sees that race as do-or-die, I think she would not make a good vise.

People my own opinion on this issue is that,i don't see how Obama is going to become the president of america,even if he the democrats nomination,much as i like the man i think he is playing with fire and pray seriously that he does not get assasinated cos whether we like it or not AMERICA is still a racist country.

Its not a case of racism, he simply cannot win.

He won certain white votes, so did clinton win certain black votes. but they both unfortunately attacked n counter attacked themselves, which was unbecoming of members of the same party. they have succesfully polarised their party.

without hillary on that ticket, its go Mc cain
