Congratulations, Senator Obama: Presumptive Democratic Nominee for President of the United States!   Updated at 11:04 PM

And congratulations to all of Senator Obama's supporters here on Democratic Underground and elsewhere.

This has been a historic primary -- the most exciting, hard-fought, and talent-rich primary I have ever seen and ever expect to see. It has not always been easy, especially here on DU. But I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to watch it, and to play a very small role in it. I have great respect and admiration for both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton, and I would have been happy with either of them as our nominee.

But as you know, only one can be our standard-bearer in the general election. And that standard-bearer is Senator Obama. He has run a brilliant campaign, and I believe he will be an exceptionally strong candidate in the fall. I look forward to uniting with my fellow Democrats to support Senator Obama, and to help him win the election in November.

To those of you who supported Senator Clinton, I know that this may be a difficult night for some of you. And I know that many of you are not quite ready to unite behind Senator Obama just yet. I understand. What I want you to know is this: When you feel ready to join with the rest of your fellow Democrats, we will be proud to unite with you. Together, we will make a great team.

On a related note: As promised the presidential primary on Democratic Underground will soon come to an end. Out of respect to Senator Clinton and her supporters, I do not want to officially end the primary on Democratic Underground until she makes her intentions clear. With this in mind, our TENTATIVE plan is to end discussion of the primary at 12:00 noon ET, Wednesday June 11.

It's been a hell of a ride. I'm looking forward to the next part of the journey.

i wish i could cut and paste all the threads of the hatred spilling out towards Hilary.. but here a few

"I hate her ****ing guts"

"Hillary blew it big time!!"

"Is she planning to run as an independant?"

"After Hilary's demands, I do NOT want her as VP!"

"She never even congratulated him??"

GDP is in flames..

Skinner will start handing out tombstones to die-hard Hillary supporters in 3... 2... 1...

[Lauri]

some are already leaving in a huff.. he may not have to tombstone too many of them.

[Wretched Excess]

they rolled over when he limited them to 3 posts per day in the primary election forum.  hell, he POLLED it, and they voted themselves into limiting their own ability to post.

muzzling everyone that doesn't subscribe to the hive mentality really isn't that much of a jump.

i love that Obama is congratulating Hilary right now on her tough fight - but also claiming victory with her conceding.

and she will be 'central to that victory' of health care.

McCain needs to help people remember what a great job she did with that before.

I'm surprised he didn't break out into song:

19. Unfortunate sub-headline I just saw on CNN.com
   
"Clinton tells New York lawmakers she would be Obama's No. 2"

The jokes practically write themselves...

  that is hilarious..
