(ONNpolitics) -- May 3, 2008, marked the dawn of a new era in American history. Sen. Barack Obama has finally crossed the threshold of delegates to be named the Democratic Presidential nominee. For many, they said it was impossible, but he defied odds by defeating the Clinton political machine. Tuesday was a historical night - standing before a cheering crowd in St. Paul, Minnesota, Obama was officially the first black man to secure any major partisan nomination for President in the United States.
News came after a long wait on last night, as a slow stream of delegates came rolling in to tip the scales in his favor around 9:00 pm est.
Obama has no doubt silenced the critics with his win and now looks forward to facing Sen. John McCain, presumptive Republican nominee, in the Fall elections.
