Obama closing in on Democratic presidential nomination

On Tuesday, May 20th, Barack pulled came quite close to getting the Democratic presidential nomination. Although Obama can't win it without help from the superdelegates. Hillary Clinton won more delegates at the primaries on Tuesday, including an majority vote in Kentucky. Obama also took the better in Oregon, which they were still counting votes on Wednesday. Obama was left with 70 fewer delegates than he needed to get the nomination. After Tuesday's results Barack most likely feels comfortable with the Democratic nomination. Obama is most likely just waiting for November to come which is the most important month of all for the candidates.

Obama or Clinton?

How will the 2008 Presidential Race effect the United States' future? If Obama wins the election for President, how will it effect the African Americans of the U.S.? If Clinton wins how would it effect the women of the U.S.?

Many people feel that the U.S. isn't ready for a black president or female president. I think that both Obama and Clinton are both physically and mentally prepared for the position. Obama was raised by his grandparents and turned out to be a Columbia University and Harvard Law School graduate. Obama later went on to be the Senator for the State Illinois from 1997-2004. Clinton is also very much prepared for the Presidency job because of her experience and background support. Hilary was an undergraduate at Wellesley College and also went to Yale Law School. While in Yale is when she met her current husband and former President Bill Clinton. This makes both of them very eligible to be the next President of the United States.
