Senator Barack Obama claimed the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday evening, prevailing through an epic battle with Senator Hillary Clinton in a primary campaign that inspired millions of voters from every corner of America to demand change in Washington.
His rival Hillary Clinton has congratulated him on his campaign - although she stopped short of conceding defeat.
65 per cent of participants – spanning all continents right around the world – said the young Illinois senator was their choice to take on John McCain in the race for the White House, against just 35 per cent who selected Hillary Clinton.
Obama scored his final primary victory in Montana and was quickly endorsed by the state’s governor as well as the two Democratic senators. Clinton, meanwhile, claimed a come-from-behind victory in South Dakota, after trailing in the state for weeks.
The victory now sets up a five-month campaign between Obama and Republican John McCain.
They will vie to succeed President Bush, whose popularity has plummeted as the economy weakens, and fuel and food prices.
Left your point of view about Obama’s victory in the comments.
