Obama claims Democratic nomination
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - History was made Tuesday night with the announcement that an African-American candidate is the presidential nominee of a major party.

Senator Barack Obama officially has the delegates now, but some say he is not feeling the love from challenger Senator Hillary Clinton.

Obama not only declared himself to be the Democratic nominee for president, he did it in the same Minnesota area where, in a few months, Senator John McCain will accept the Republican nomination.

Half a country away and 200 delegates behind, Clinton didn't say she was conceding or that she would fight on.

If Clinton stops her campaign, there are new indications she might accept the vice-presidency.

Clinton and Obama are likely to meet in the next few days.

McCain also gave a major speech tonight, stressing his national security experience and his desire for change.
