Breaking: It's official; Obama is nominated for President.


And this puts an end to the division and silenced the media's constant negativeness of the Hillary-Obama race. Hillary ended the division.

From NY Times blog:

6:11 p.m. We’re Rolling

Mr. Obama at 584.5 votes and Mrs. Clinton at 152.5. They are up to Hawaii in the alphabet, which just cast 26 votes for Mr. Obama and one vote for Mrs. Clinton.

6:28 p.m. Michigan: And Michigan, where Mrs. Clinton won the invalidated primary and Mr. Obama withdrew his name from the ballot, has just cast 27 votes for Mrs. Clinton and 125 for Mr. Obama.

6:39 p.m. New Hampshire: New Hampshire just cast all of its 30 votes for Mr. Obama — even though Mrs. Clinton won the state. New Jersey goes next an unanimously casts its votes for Mr. Obama.

6:42 p.m. Yield : New Mexico, just before proudly casting its 38 votes, yields to Illinois, home state of Senator Barack Obama. And Illinois yields to New York.

6:47 p.m. Clinton Ends the Roll Call: Mrs. Clinton takes the mic and casts New York’s votes for Barack Obama.

“Madame Secretary, on behalf of the great state of New York,” she says, “with eyes firmly fixed on the future, with the spirt of unity, let’s declare together in one voice, right here, right now that Barack Obama is our candidate and he will be our president.”

She then moves to suspend the rules and the roll call to declare Mr. Obama the nominee by acclamation.


On a side note: California took a pass on voting.
