Obama: I will be the Democratic nominee
In what he called a “defining moment for our nation,” Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday became the first African-American to head the ticket of a major political party.
“Tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another — a journey that will bring a new and better day to America,” he said.
“Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States.” (Source: CNN)
