Clinton congratulates Obama, but "no decisions" yet (Extra)

Washington - Hillary Clinton said she has made 'no decisions' about her political future and continued to plug her own White House credentials, as rival Barack Obama clinched the Democratic Party's nomination for president on Tuesday. The former first lady would not concede the five-month-old campaign, only 'congratulating Senator Obama and his supporters on the extraordinary race that they have run.' 'This has been a long campaign, and I will be making no decisions tonight,' Clinton said, drawing loud cheers from a defiant crowd of supporters in New York. Clinton said she would be consulting with party leaders in the coming days on the way forward and promised to help unify the Democratic Party ahead of November's general election. But Clinton also continued to argue she was the 'strongest candidate' to take back the White House and pointed to her victories in large swing states that will be crucial to the Democrats' chances in November. 'In all of the states you voted because you wanted a leader who will stand up for the deepest values of our party,' she said. Obama on Tuesday passed the mark of 2,118 delegates needed to clinch the party's nomination, becoming the first African-American ever to lead a major US political party into a general election. But it was Clinton who claimed a final victory in South Dakota's primary on Tuesday night, a surprise victory on the final day of state-by-state election contests that began with Iowa back on January 3. 'Thanks so much to South Dakota - you had the last word in this primary season and it was worth the wait,' she said.

his church and holy spiritual advisor (Wright) in the dust and they are not worthy of licking his boots. He will prevail as president, no matter what John says or does. It's going to be great having another inexperienced liar as president.

Clinton as veep candidate.Jun 4th, 2008 - 03:15:35

For Barack Obama to pick BILLARY Clinton as vice presidential candidate would be like someone making a room mate out of a LIVE spitting Cobra - you NEVER know when it will spit or bite. Either way, you get poison in your system!

It would appear that most Democrats are out doing something worthwhile, while the Bush/McCain/Cheney lovers are spending their lonely hours glued to their computers commenting on this site 24/7!
