Barack Obama Wins: Hillary Clinton could end White House race tonight
This years White House race has been an eventful one and the days of Ron Paul being shouted everywhere online seem to be part of history, but today we are hearing that Hillary Clinton could end White House race tonight. If this happens, then it leaves the door wide open for Barack Obama to go for White House, with a good chance of winning.
Currently this is only speculation and rumor, but if Barack Obama Wins and Hillary Clinton does bow out of the race, then Barack Obama would be that much closer to becoming the first black US Presidential. This has been a marathon contest and in South Dakota and Montana the Democrats are casting their votes today, this primary could decide Clinton’s future.
The senator from Illinois looks to get a massive share of the 31 pledged delegates, if this happens he could take his place in history. This all sounds good for Barack Obama supporters but its still not that simple, he will still need support from the around 30 undecided superdelegates. These superdelegates will want to back a winner when they cast their vote, so they will do so very carefully.
Will Hillary Clinton continue to claim she is the stronger nominee against John McCain in November’s general election or will Clinton end the race tonight?
Clinton says she is willing to serve as Obama's running mate
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told the New York congressional delegation today that she's willing to serve as Sen. Barack Obama's vice presidential nominee.
As Associated Press projected that Obama had the number of delegates he needed to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination, Clinton raised the possibility of serving as Obama's running mate during her talk with New York lawmakers, said Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo.
"She brought it up, and it it was reaffirmed by others," Higgins said. ""It was in the context of: we've got to win this thing."
While saying she would not officially concede the nomination to Obama at a New York rally where she will appear tonight, Clinton also stressed that she will do whatever she can to help Obama win the presidency.
In the phone call with lawmakers and other conversations, though, "she's expressing her general gratitude and beginning to set a conciliatory tone, the important thing being a Democratic win in November," Higgins said.
Clinton's call with the New York delegation came as voters in the last two primary states, Montana and South Dakota, went to the polls, and as Obama prepared for a victory rally tonight in the St. Paul., Minn., arena where Sen. John McCain will claim the Republican nomination at the party's convention in September.
Obama and Clinton have been engaged for months in the tightest presidential nomination battle in modern history. But Obama, riding his landslide wins in states that held caucuses rather than primaries and his strength among the party insiders called "superdelegates," was able to effectively clinch the nomination on the last day of voting.
