AP tally: Obama effectively clinches nomination

Jun 3 2008, 01:26 PM US/Eastern

WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama has effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates.

The tally put Obama over the top Tuesday, ahead of the results from the day's final primaries in Montana and South Dakota. The Illinois senator becomes the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House. Obama outlasted former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in a historic contest and now faces Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona for the presidency.

So the only question is, when will the concession come ?

TAKE THE POLL !

UPDATE 2

As so many have noted, Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination for president on Aug 28 2008 - 45 years to the day after Martin Luther King's historic 'I Have A Dream' speech given in Washington on Aug 28 1963.

A huge dream will be realized later this year - and it must have seemed impossible just 45 yrs ago . . .

UPDATE 1 - adding videos which are so sweet to watch
