Tonight we witnessed history as Barack Obama became the first African-American presidential nominee of a major party in the United States.
The historic and epic battle for the Democratic Party presidential nomination is over. Barack Obama finally emerged as the “presumptive†nominee of the Democrats. Today a wave of super delegates announced their support for Obama. These additional Obama delegates along with the South Dakota and Montana primary results put Obama’s numbers over the top, exceeding the necessary “magic number†of 2,118 delegates.
Barack Obama gave a rousing speech to an enthusiastic crowd of over 17,000 supporters in St. Paul, Minnesota. Watch Obama’s speech:
