Obama announced that he would be a candidate for the US president from the Democrats, and is already selecting vice president for himself

In the United States, primary elections have officially ended. And if the Republican’s main candidate decided for a long time - they became a 71 -year -old Senator from Arizona John McCain, then the Democrats continued until the last day. On Tuesday evening, the last primaries in the States of South Dakota and Montana took place. In the first state, the victory in the camp of the Democrats went to the Senator from the state of New York Hillary Clinton, and in the second her opponent won-46-year-old black senator from Illinois Barack Obama. Immediately after the completion of the elections, both applicants came to their supporters.

The leader of the presidential race of the Democrats, Senator Barack Obama, has already announced that he will be officially nominated by the US presidential candidate. “Today I can stand in front of you and say that I will be nominated from the Democrats to the post of President of the United States of America,” Obama said in his speech in St. Polish (Minnesota), where more than 20 thousand supporters came to his speech.

Obama even began to choose a partner in the fight for the White House. He instructed his adviser Jim Johnson, to evaluate the possible candidates from the Democrats in US Vice Presidents, Interfax reports. One of the most likely candidates for Obama’s partners, many consider Hillary Clinton to many. Previously, she had already stated that "she would be opened for a proposal to join Obama as a candidate for vice presidents."

The leader of the presidential race at the Democrats also announced that a new stage is beginning for him now in this race. “Today we note the completion of one historical campaign and the beginning of another,” Obama said.

In his speech, he congratulated his opponent in the race of the Democrat Senator and the former first Lady of the United States Hilary Clinton.

“I congratulate her on a victory in South Dakot and the race, which she led throughout this competition,” Obama said.

According to him, "Senator Hillary Clinton this campaign went down in history not only because she is a woman and did that she had not succeeded before a single woman, but also because she is a leader who inspires millions of Americans with her strength, her courage and his commitment to the work that has gathered us here today."

“Thanks to it, our party and our country became richer, and I became better as a candidate, having the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton,” the Democrats leader noted.

Clinton did not recognize the defeat

In turn, the former “first lady” of the USA, who made a speech to her supporters in the state of New York, did not recognize her defeat. In warlike speech, Clinton again outlined her arguments, assuring that she was a stronger candidate, and also stated that she won more vote of ordinary voters (Obama headquarters challenged this statement), writes The New York Times .

“I want 18 million Americans who voted for me to give respect,” she said in New York under loud applause. (Full text on the website inopressa.ru )

However, she paid tribute to Obama's achievements. Clinton congratulated her one -party man on the conduct of the "outstanding election campaign" and called on to pay tribute to Obama and his supporters "for everything they achieved." “It was a great honor for me to compete on the primaries with him, and the same honor for me is to call him my friend,” Clinton noted.

At the same time, Clinton confirmed his commitment to "the unity of the democratic party so that we could move forward even stronger and ready to regain the White House in November."

The senator noted that in the coming days she intends to consult with her supporters and leaders of the Democratic Party in order to make the final decision on what to do next, "based on the interests of the party and the country," ITAR-TASS reports.

For the first time in the history of the United States, a black politician was put forward to the presidency

In the last hours of the race, a whole salvo of statements from delegates-democrats followed-one by one they proclaimed that they supported Obama. The establishment of the Democratic Party-from ex-president Jimmy Carter to the heads of local committees included in the category of super dechas, expressed the approval of Obama during the day.

Currently, Obama was enlisted by the support of 2132 delegates and superdellates of the nationwide congress, which will be held in August this year in Denver (Colorado). To win, he needed to gain 2118. Clinton had 1925 votes at the time of the “season” of the primaries in the asset. Among the well -known superhams - prominent members of the US Democratic Party, supporting Obama, Senator Edward Kennedy and former US President Jimmy Carter.

Now, for the first time in the history of the United States, one of the main political parties in the country will lead a black politician to the presidential election. Analysts also note the possibility of creating another precedent, when a woman can also become the vice president of the country. This will happen if Obama invites you to run a “second number” of his current rival Hillary Clinton.

Clinton is ready to become the country's vice president

According to reports from Washington, in a conversation on the phone with some senators, she stated that she was ready to speak in the elections with Barack Obama, if this helps the US Democratic Party win the struggle for the White House.

A member of the House of Representatives of Nidia Velazquez (Democrat, New York) asked Clinton if that version of the Alliance with Obama would consider. “She said that if she is offered this, she would agree,” Velazquez said.

Clinton said that she would do "everything in order to guarantee the victory of the democrat," several participants in this television conferences note. True, Clinton's advisers tried to diminish the significance of this statement, but the democrats who talked with her have a different opinion: since Clinton did not evade the answer and did not say what she would think, they had the impression that she was ready at least to clear over such a proposal.

“If Senator Obama asks her to become a vice president, she will definitely agree,” said Caroline McCarthy (Democrat, New York), “she clearly thought about such a prospect.” Neither Obama nor his environment commented on these assumptions. Obama did not mention them in his speech in the evening on Tuesday in the Minnesota, which took place at the very stadium where Macakene should accept the party’s proposal about his nomination as a presidential candidate at the September Congress.

McCain is ready to fight Obama

The rivalry between McCain and Obama has been aggravated for several weeks for several weeks, but the completion of the primaries in the camp of democrats is a formal start of a five -month competition for victory in the presidential election. Judging by the speeches of the candidates in the evening on Tuesday, this race will unfold against the background of the electorate, which is concerned about the sharp rise in price of gasoline, the mortgage crisis and the war in Iraq.

In addition, this is a battle between generations - two completely different personalities came together, two diametrically opposite styles. McCain organized an evening event in Louisiana specifically in order to get into television news releases per day, which otherwise belonged to the Democrats.

Speaking to his supporters in Louisian, the applicant for the presidential post from the Republicans said that he was ready to fight in the fall of this year in the presidential election with the Senator-Democrat from Illinois Barack Obama.

“He (Obama) can make a great first impression. But he cannot ... bring real changes to Washington, and I can,” McCain said. He also emphasized that "the Americans did not recognize him yesterday how they recognized Senator Barack Obama."

According to the senator from Arizona, compatriots were able to make sure that John McCain was able to solve any problems facing the country.

Having stated that the PRIMERIS season ended and the presidential campaign enters the new phase, McCain criticized Obama for his views regarding Iraq. You cannot "deny the wonderful work that our soldiers do in Iraq," the senator emphasized.

About two hours after the performance of McCain in Louisiana, Obama gave an answer to the opponent in speech to several thousand supporters.

“There are many words that can be called by John McCain’s attempt to issue his solidarity with George Bush’s policies for a new new program that overcomes the discrepancies between the parties,” Obama said. “But the word" Change "is inappropriate here."
