Barack Obama has sealed the Democratic presidential nomination in an historic step toward his goal of becoming the first black US president.
A defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared to manoeuvre for the vice-presidential spot on his ticket without conceding her own defeat.
Obama's victory sets up a five-month campaign against Republican John McCain.
It will be a race between a 46-year-old opponent of the Iraq War and a 71-year-old former Vietnam prisoner of war and staunch supporter of the current US military mission.
They will vie to succeed President Bush, whose popularity has plummeted as the economy weakens, fuel and food prices soar and the war continues into its sixth year.
Clinton praised Obama warmly in an appearance before her supporters in New York.
But she neither acknowledged Obama's victory nor offered a concession of any sort.
Lets have some change now, the US need it and the whole world does ....and like 2pac said" We aint blind to see a black president"
Go Barack Go >>>>>
