YES WE DID!!!!!

On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton won the South Dakota Primary.

Barack Obama won not only the Montana Primary by close to 30,000 votes, but also won the Democratic Nomination.

Let's be clear, this primary season has been historic- the first Female with a chance to win the nomination took the first African American Male to the end- each getting something around 18M votes each.

Superdelegates did what the party leaders demanded and got behind a candidate, and throughout the day Tuesday, superdelegates endorsed Obama. By the time the polls closed, the race was over. Obama only needed nine pledged delegates, and he had that from South Dakota.

This wasn't just a victory for African Americans, this is a victory for every American. It's the type of victory that is the fulfillment of the American Dream. You remember that dream that says anyone can achieve anything in America with hard work.

More on pride, speeches and etc in the next few posts..... but for now YES WE CAN is can be celebrated a YES WE DID. Yes, this is an early celebration, but it is tempered with the reality that Obama is only the Democratic Nominee.
