AP tally: Obama clinches Democratic nomination

Eds: APNewsNow; Will be led.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Barack Obama has effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates.

The tally put Obama over the top Tuesday, ahead of the results from the day's final primaries in Montana and South Dakota. The Illinois senator becomes the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House. Obama outlasted former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in a historic contest and now faces Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona for the presidency.

Now taking suggestions for tonight's celebratory cocktail ...

You should talk to Zeke. He was looking for suggestions last night to prepare for tonight.

Different situation. I'm a disillusioned conservative who (right now) could live with either McCain or Obama. I'm just celebrating Clinton Inc. getting its final reward.

I have been informed that Guinness will be the official drink of the Obama nomination. Head to the store now.

I'm trying to rustle up one bottle of Leinies Original to toast Mo Udall and Fenian.

A Chicago boy? I'd guess Miller Lite. Yuck.

If Obama cracks a Natty Light, he's got the union vote.

Unless they don't provide you with the right fork.

Just got this announcement on my Facebook page:

I'm about to take the stage in St. Paul and announce that we have won the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

It's been a long journey, and we should all pause to thank Hillary Clinton, who made history in this campaign. Our party and our country are better off because of her.

I want to make sure you understand what's ahead of us. Earlier tonight, John McCain outlined a vision of America that's very different from ours -- a vision that continues the disastrous policies of George W. Bush.

But this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past and bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.

It's going to take hard work, but thanks to you and millions of other donors and volunteers, no one has ever been more prepared for such a challenge.

Thank you for everything you've done to get us here. Let's keep making history.
