We Have Our Nominee
Congratulations are in order to Senator Obama, who tonight offcially reached the delegate threshhold to clinch the Democratic nomination for President; as though you haven't heard by now! Senator Clinton has not yet conceded or suspended her campaign, but that's no impediment to Senator Obama's milestone. For the first time in our nations history, a major party has nominated a minority to be its standard bearer.Senator McCain took the opportunity to pre-but Obama's speech, and came off looking foolish. His speech was limp and meanspirited, and was dropped by the networks as the South Dakota polls closed and Obama was declared the presumptive nominee. There's plenty of interesting commentary going on, so I'll just post three speeches, for your viewing pleasure.
Game.
