Mr. Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination, setting up a November matchup with Republican nominee John McCain.

Quote from: washingtonpost.com

Sen. Barack Obama claimed the Democratic nomination for president in a speech in Minnesota tonight -- an historic achievement that for the first time will place an African American at the top of a major political party's ticket.

After months of see-saw battling with his arch Democratic rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, ending tonight with Obama and Clinton splitting primaries in Montana and South Dakota, Obama will be immediately thrust into a pitched general election battle with Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), the presumptive Republican nominee.

In speeches by both men tonight, they sought to define the parameters of the contest to come. Obama cast McCain as an insufficient change agent after eight years of George W. Bush's presidency. McCain insisted that Obama represents the wrong kind of change.

As long as its a change from what is now, I'm all for it (from either man). I'd love to see Obama win it and will vote for him this fall, just because I believe in his change. I honestly believe that most of his talk is valid and not just "vote getting talk".
