South Dakota & Montana Primary Results

Obama Wins Nomination
Clinton To End Campaign

Well, it's all over. At least the primary that is. Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination the other night, claiming many super delegates who chose in the final day of primaries. Hillary Clinton did not end her bid that night, but her campaign has announced that she will suspend her quest and endorse Obama on Saturday. She did manage to win South Dakota, as these were the results:


Clinton: 55%
Obama: 45%



However, the night ended with the last state going for Obama. He won the first contest in Iowa and after a lot of stuff happened in between, he won the last contest in Montana. These were the results:


Obama: 57%
Clinton: 41%



Now that this race is over the questions start over whether Clinton will be Obama's running mate. It's viewed as a dream ticket, but also can be seen as Obama going against his "change" message. Also, questions start over who John McCain will select.


However, time will tell what will happen. It's just nice to finally be in general election mode as we await one of the most exciting presidential campaigns ever between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama. It will be a fun ride from here!
