For the first time in the history of the United States of America, an African American is one step away from being the leader of the free world. Barack Obama secured the democratic nomination Tuesday night, ending one of the most contentious primaries in American history.
In front of a frenzied Xcel Energy Center, Senator Obama lifted the 19,000 faithful by
announcing his presumptive nomination. "Tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another — a journey that will bring a new and better day to America." And what a journey it has been.
After shocking the political world by winning the Iowa Caucuses in early January, his momentum carried through most of February and March, and made winning the nomination a daunting task for Hillary Clinton. His theme of "change" tapped into America's thirst for something different, and proved to be a winning strategy.But now there seem to be more questions than answers. Among the top questions will be who Obama will pick as his running
mate for the general election. Obama will be pressured by the nearly 18 million citizens that voted for Clinton, to pick her as his running mate. Only time will tell if this, "dream ticket," comes to fruition.No matter who Senator Obama picks as his VP one thing is certainly clear. The gloves are off, and the battle for the presidency will be much tougher.

know that mccain is going to try and pull anything he can out of his hat. he needs all he can get, including support from the president currently in office. i rather say fuck, than B*sh.
now, it will all come down to how ignorant the mentality of this country is. Not just vote for the "popular" candidate, or the "white" guy. We all need to concentrate at the issues that are at stake, and really hone in key policies that they both claim.
i saw the website that you posted, and yes it is very vague, and not only is it vague, it is partially untrue. i can't wait to see how immature mccain becomes. and for the record, we don't need a war hero, we need a leader, and a person who will change the course of this country.
