Obama's the nominee?

At the end of the South Dakota primary on Tuesday, Barack Obama will be the Democrat nominee for President of the United States. As expected, the Democrat Rules Committee agreed to seat both the Florida and Michigan delegations at their convention in August but only half of each state's delegates will count. The net result overall: Hillary Clinton picks up only 24 delegates which all but gives Obama the nomination. In a gesture of party unity, once Obama reaches the necessary number of delegates to nominate, 2,118, Mrs. Clinton should concede the nomination and step aside gracefully. She has bright future in the Demcrat Party as Governor of New York or future Senate Majority leader and could run again for the presidency in 2012 if Obama loses in November. However, Mrs. Clinton's may take the nomination fight all the way to the convention if she ends up with more of the popular vote than Obama. Such a selfish act will only benefit one candidate, John McCain.
