BREAKING NEWS: AP says Obama clinches Dem nomination; When will Clinton concede?

On the final day with the last two Democratic primaries in Montana and South Dakota, the Associated Press is reporting that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama has accumulated sufficient delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination for president at the party's National Convention in Denver come August.

Now, the next question is when will New York Sen. Hillary Clinton concede?

[Larry]

Yee hah,
It is finally over . . . now let's get onto rallying around McCain.

Go John!

[COL. [retd] A. M.Khajawall MD]

Dear American Voters, super delegates, and Hon. Senator Clinton,

Hon. Senator McCain and Obama, besides each having many attributes and characteristics. The critical differences in my professional, political, and personal opinion are as under:

1. Presidential "Temperament and Composer".
2. Little Washington "insider Versus outsider" connectedness.
3. Vision and mission for our nation future rather than past.
4. American policies first USA centric than other countries centric.

In my professional opinion one senator has it and the other does not. We need one for our Greatgrand Nation to address our all these challenges with a fresh, clean and new slate.

God Bless America. its diverse people, and our Greatgrand Nation.

Yours truly,

PS: Yes, I am sure Hon. Senator Clinton will galvanize voters to vote in November to effect the change in WDC.

Hillary should have done what is Right and been Gracious at least a Month Back! - Hillary and her Campaign Team should have put Party First what Hillary does in the next 24 hours will tell what future she has if any in Politics!

[Wayne]

So far she has shown no sign of graciousness. I cannot think of a reason to expect it now.

[Mrs. O]

That's great news. Congrats Mr. future President!

Obama '08 & 12

[mark]

NOW!!!!!! If not weeks ago...

[P Tinker]

The sooner Hillary withdraws, the sooner she can begin rebuilding her reputation as a person living in the real world.

[Graham Adutt]

Anything other than immediately acknowledging Obama has won the race, and pledging her full support for him, would be seen for what it would be - personal pride and ambition. To show that she prioritises the party, the State and the people, she needs to do it 'now'.

[Joeseph]

Clinton will concede tomorrow

[Stella Emmanuel]

SHE IS FREE TO CONCEDE WHENEVER SHE WANTS TO.SHE IS A DISGRACE TO WOMANHOOD.

[nan]

Not to be a stickler, but according to the story, the tally is "...based on public declarations from delegates as well as from another 15 who have confirmed their intentions to the AP."

Um. "confirmed their intentions to the AP?" So what? Let's wait until the declarations are public. As it stands, AP, Senator Obama is 30 delegates short.

And everyone wonders why Americans hate the main stream media.

[Andrew Austin]

Fight on. Between now and August 25 is a long time. Things are going to continue to come out on Obama showing Democrats that he is unelectable.

[jon davis]

Heheh, she's gonna be 80 and still telling everyone she's going to be the '08 nominee...

[Zzz]

If Hillary refuses to concede and no one cares, did she not concede?
"Woop-di-do"

[George]

McCain in '08! It doesn't matter who wins the Dem nomination. They are going to lose anyway.

[Joe Edwards]

Fight on Hillary! 57 states are too many for Barack to preside over!

[Biff Wellington]

What a hoot! You know Hillary will claim that delegates mean nothing, and the popular vote is what really counts. If this strategy fails, perhaps she might hold her breath...

And don't fall for this "Hillary for VP" garbarge, unless you want to see another Whitewater-style series of "suicides"...

Clinton should have given up a long time ago. Her and her husband have blood on their hands. We have not, nor will we ever forget their shameless inaction as Rwanda's Christians were being slaughtered one by one until 77% of them, nearly 800,000 were wiped out. They just stood silently. Inaction towards genocide is participation in genocide. Also, let's not forget the Clinton administrations shameless denial of the Armenian genocide. Right when the House was finally going to officially make known to the world that this crime recognizes this tragedy for what it was, Clinton made a call to the House, and it was pulled off floor. How shameless and two faced these two are. She's always saying something different. I don't know what she stands for anymore. And let's not forget the cheater not wanting any delegates from Michigan for Obama. He followed rules, while this Chameleon now was singing a new whistle that she wanted those delegates. Get out of the race you cheat.

[Charles Riley]

What a beautiful day!

[Anita]

This has probably been the most depressing, uninspiring primary I have ever had to witness....Senator Clinton became everything I thought she reviled...I feel exhausted and demoralized.

In fact: the gun-toting, bible thumpers can't begin to appoach my bitterness.

[N.E. BodybutHillary]

No Clintons on the Ticket!!!!!!!!!!!
Hillary cannot be VP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jane]

I don't think she should quit. Since Hillary doesn't get the nom, MCCAIN it is. Dems just lost my vote!

[Memphis RIch]

Clinton should never give up. When you mess with a Clinton you might as well be messing with the devil!

[Gaias Child]

She should do what her inner compass tells her to do. Right now she's exploring her options in Obama administration. I'd rather see her as running mate for John McCain or take her supporters to an independent run. No matter what anybody says to her now she can make it into a giantic Poor Me that some people respond to. Probably people who take comfort in their victim ideation. She should go til she's done. I cringe to think of her on the ticket with him.
