Obama Clinches Nomination, Clinton To Halt Campaign

Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. Hillary Clinton's campaign confirms she will be host an event on Saturday to thank her backers and express support for Barack Obama. Does this mean a bid for Vice Presidency?

A press inormation David Plouffe sent from Barack Obama's campaign says the total number of delegates needed to secure the nomination is 2,118. Right now, Barack has the support of at least 2,179 delegates, which gives him a lock on the nomination.

Thank you for being a part of this. Now is the time for you to take the next step and own a piece of this campaign. Watch the video of Barack's victory speech and make your first donation of $25 today to support the next phase of this movement for change:

Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee, but we've got huge challenges ahead as we build our organization for the general election.

John McCain has been running his general election campaign for months, and we have some catching up to do.

But one of the benefits of this historic primary season is that we had a chance to build our grassroots organization in all 50 states.

We have an unprecedented opportunity to mobilize volunteers everywhere and compete in places that Democrats have overlooked in the past.

Last night, Barack laid out the vision for where this campaign is headed -- watch the speech and make a $25 donation to help us get there:
