Obama makes history; Clinton refuses to concede Democratic nomination
Summary from United States, from articles in English
Senator Barack Obama claimed the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday night, prevailing through an epic battle with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in a primary campaign that inspired millions of voters from every corner of America to demand change in Washington. (article 4) In both states about half said the lengthy contest energized the party, about four in 10 said it divided the party, and the rest said they didn't know or skipped the question. (article 37) Obama is within 6 delegates of the 2,118 needed to clinch the Democratic nomination for president, and is expected to win an additional number of delegates in the final primary contests and further superdelegate endorsements Tuesday. (article 18) A leading fundraiser for Hillary Clinton says her supporters will back Barack Obama with donations once he finally wins the Democratic presidential nomination, and says Mr Obama could raise as much as $500m to spend on the election campaign. (article 69) According to communications director Robert Gibbs, the campaign is confident that all superdelegates will make a decision within the next 48-72 hours. (article 50) In a separate interview, Clinton campaign chair Terry McAuliffe said that Sen. Hillary Clinton will not get out of the race until either candidate obtains the 2,118 delegates needed to win the nomination. (article 33)
