Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee

It's official. He has the delegates and is the Democratic nominee.
My partner and I just watched Hillary's speech. And before that we watched John McCain's speech. We both had the overwhelming thought that John McCain can't hold a candle to Hillary Clinton in terms of having "it". Shaun said that it's like the difference between a minor league and major league baseball team.
So much has been made by the media of the fact that Barack has lost elections even when it looked like he was going to win the nomination. But I really think that's said much less about him than it has about Hillary.
UPDATE: Obama's giving his victory speech now. All I can say is "wow". He's an amazing speaker. The money line so far: "there are many words to describe John McCain's attempt to describe his embrace of Bush's failed policies as bi-partisan, but 'change' isn't one of them".
UPDATE: Another great line: "John McCain has talked a lot about visiting Iraq in the last few weeks. But maybe if he'd spent more time visiting the towns in Michigan, Ohio and Minnesota that have been hardest hit by this economy he'd understand the kind of change Americans are looking for".
UPDATE: "We may call ourselves 'Democrats' and 'Republicans', but we are Americans first. . . Americans first."
