Obama Clinches Nomination

According the the Associated Press, Barack Obama has now clinched the democratic nomination for President of the United States. This is based on super delegate committments both public and private along with the minimum number of delegates he will win tonight in Montana and South Dakota.

On one hand this may be a time to celebrate the end of what some have called our ongoing nightmare, but I see it as the beginning of the campaign for America's future. This is not a time to gloat or to whine. It is a time to reflect and to prepare for the campaign to come.

This was not about Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. It is not about race or gender. It is about the good of our nation.
