Obama wins Nomination?

Barack Obama becomes the first black candidate ever to lead a major party into a fall campaign for the White House. This declaration is, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates won by, and Super Delegates declared for Obama.


"I am a bit surprised to hear this report ahead of tonight numbers, but I expected us to go over after the primaries tonight" Said a Obama Supporter.






BREAKING NEWS
Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation's first female president.



Seeing the writing on the wall, Hillary Rodham Clinton has told congressional colleagues she would be open to becoming Barack Obama's vice presidential nominee, saying she would consider it if it would help Democrats win the White House.


Democratic Rep. Nydia Velazquez stated she believed the best way for Obama to win over key voting blocs, including Hispanics, would be for him to choose Clinton as his running mate."


For the past few months many Democrats torn between Clinton and Obama; have floated the idea of a "Dream Ticket" as a way of healing the party and filling all niches of traditional Democratic voter.


It is clear that Barack needs Hillary's support, but it is not clear that he is helped by having her on the ticket. She comes with a lot of baggage, and after 20 years of either a Clinton or a Bush in the Oval Office, Hillary might not fit neatly with Bbama's mantra of "Change."

Say what you will, it is difficult to argue that this has been a boring process.
