NEW YORK (CNN) – Sen. Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, CNN projects as polls in the South Dakota primary closed at 9 p.m. ET.

CNN still has not projected a winner in the South Dakota primary, but based on exit polls and raw vote estimates the Illinois senator will receive at least five pledged delegates from this primary, enough to put him over the top. CNN also estimates that rival Hillary Clinton will receive at least five delegates from the South Dakota primary.

the democratic party is done….they just handed the republicans the white house……if you look at barracks accomplishments there are none…….john mccain is not george bush and doesnt have the views of george bush……..so for you to take the media and the democrats for their out right lies is beyond me……..i have never voted for john mccain, but i do prefer his common sense to some left wing nut who's mentor is a racist and a bigot……too bad the democrats didnt re-poll the states that voted for bho again, they would have found out that they will not vote for bho in the general…….i hope all you new voters go to the polls because that is the only way barrack stands a chance…..as for me i will now become an idependent…..

No Hillary For V P !

Beth Russell   June 3rd, 2008 9:21 pm ET

I would like to congradulate Senator Obama. I hope that he now can unify the democratic party and bring Hillary along as Vice President to take on McCain. With this team they would be unbeatable. I think that this is what the country needs now. We need stability and honesty. We need to rebuild the country and get it working again for the average working man and woman. That is what they can bring to this country. They both have a great economic plan and health care plan and I think that they would be unbeatable together. Lets get it done together once and for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sara   June 3rd, 2008 9:21 pm ET

Yes we can, and yes we did!

Texas Voter   June 3rd, 2008 9:21 pm ET

I hope Obama wins but he probably wont because of all the racists in this country. I like how Hillary supporters are jumping fence the minute she loses. You'd rather have a white man of another party than a black man of the same party who shares identical views as Hillary.

All you racist "Democrats" disgust me.

TheONE   June 3rd, 2008 9:21 pm ET

Praise GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to take it to McCain like never before!!!!!!!!! We going to need everyones help. Send McCain to the nursing home!

JC   June 3rd, 2008 9:21 pm ET

Obama/Clinton = THE Nightmare Ticket.

Todd From Long Beach, Ca.   June 3rd, 2008 9:20 pm ET

Congrats to Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To all Dems don't be color blind and allow McCain to win, it's time for a change.

White & Old Midwest Female   June 3rd, 2008 9:20 pm ET

This is the very BEST news! People who have been backing Obama, which are WAY more than those backing Clinton, do NOT want her to be his running mate.

Hope he has someone better in mind. Time for her to back off the whole thing. It doesn't matter if 1/4 of the country really likes her. So what? It's not enough and she doesn't get to call the shots. She's LOST!

Melanie, Lake Wales, FL   June 3rd, 2008 9:20 pm ET

Why are you Clinton supporters so against Obama? I mean are you that bold to vote for a Republican? Are you that of a sore loser to do this? Honestly, I am an Obama Supporter (since the beginning), but NEVER in my life will I vote McCain. Had it been Clinton as our nominee, I'd rather her than McCain!

Think about it before you vote!

Eddie Mann   June 3rd, 2008 9:20 pm ET

Congratulations to Sen Obama. It should prove to be an interesting race. Here's what bothers me. Why is Sen Obama continuously referred to as "African American"? (Or any other black person for that matter.) Is this really what Americans want to hear? I mean, is he from Africa or America? What is an "African American"? Why can't he be just a black American? I'm a white American, not a "European American" or any other "Whatever American", just a plain ol' American. Seems to me that if he wants to represent the American people, he should drop the African tag. I too think it's a historic occasion but not for an "African" American, no, but for a black American. Does he still have ties to Africa? Will he represent Africa as the leader of America? Who started all this "African American" stuff anyway?! Does Sen Obama hold dual citizenships? It always makes me cringe when I hear someone use the term African American. We're all people, living in the United States of America, as Americans. (Provided one was born here or naturalized). And we need an American leader, whether black, red, white, yellow or whatever, but we need an AMERICAN!!

Caferty Please Read   June 3rd, 2008 9:20 pm ET

Obama does not need an immoral unethical partner for VP he did it on his own despite her throwing everything at him… that was irrelavent. What about her movies The Clinton Chronicles? What about Hillary Clinton The Movie and Hillary: It's All A Big Lie?

What about those things? Hillary to hell with you be gone like the wicked witch you are and all your poor misinformed miseducated supporters. Long Live Barack… Obama 08′… and not Clinton. No Clinton Tickets

Jay   June 3rd, 2008 9:20 pm ET

steveda - poconos   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Congrats to Nominee Obama for a wonderfully executed campaign. You deserve the nomination, and we need you as president.

To thos esupposed Hillary supporters that are swearing to vote McCain. Do what you want. Just remember when your children and grandchildren are pushed to near poverty to pay for the rich's tax deductions and the deficit being incurred by the republicans - YOU caused that, Just remember when your children and grandchildren pay for the republican's war with their blood, YOU caused that. Just remember when the ultra-conservative Supreme Court appointed by the Republicans overturn Roe v. Wade and your daughters have lost their right to choose, and our future generations lose additional civil rights - You casued that!

Just remember you don't have to explain to me… cause I don't want to hear it… you have to explain to THEM what you did and the petty reasons you cursed them with those burdens. Just remember….

Lawrence, a person of conscience   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Congratulations to Senator Obama on clinching the Nominee and to Senator Clinton for a hard fought race.

*shoots off fireworks*

No more Hillary   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Sorry, just can't take any more of "that woman". Obama has made me very proud to be a white American female Obama supporter. I will be beyond words with pride when he becomes president.

Don   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Can someone please throw some water on Hillary so she gets out of way of some real change in politics…

Amy   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

What a historic Moment in American Polictics!! Obama has done us all proud! What a charming, polite, ethical and charismatic young man!!!It is high time the issue of race and other differences gets put aside. I believe in chnage and that is what Obama is all about. As a black British of African descent, I believe American Politics has had a major breakthrough today and I hope and pray United Kingdon will follow suite. It might be a while but I believe it might happen in UK too.

YES WE CAN! and YES WE WILL TAKE BACK THE WHITEHOUSE!

Sophie   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

To all who supported Clinton, sorry but she is not what our nation needs right now. And I have to say I am disappointed in her for not backing out sooner and embracing the beautiful movement that has propelled Sen. Barack Obama. I was most inspired by his book when I read it in 2005, and further supported this man when I found out he voted to not authorize the Iraq War, something Hillary Clinton did in a New York second. As a 22 year old, a "newbie" to our democracy and the process, I am thrilled to see that my future will be better because of how I voted this year. I am the future, and I am asking all you Clinton supporters to trust me, because the future belongs to me, and I want you to trust me with it. I trust Obama with it, please trust him.

ann   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Why do we go to polls to cast our CHOiCES for Presedential Nominations????? Politicians have taken away the American peoples right Why do the delegate and super delegates get to over take Americans born rights???? We have had 8years of bad leadership and will have another 4 led by a person who has no experience in running our country Oh that is WRONG IT IS NOT OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!! JUST POLITICIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE WANT HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!

LJ   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

For all of you supposed DEMs who say that you will be either not vote or Vote for McCain… to in effect hand Obama a loss… you will have no one but yourselves to blame if McCain wins an the country continues down this road… I hope that you enjoy the condition we're in now. If you don't wise up, we'll have for more years of the same

susie   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

After the people found out more about his friends the primaries started going to Hillary. Yet, the superdelegates took the nomination from the people and gave it to Obama.

darrell   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

WOW! What an historic moment. Let's take tonight and enjoy this victory, and tomorrow reach out to all other democrats, unite, and defeat McCain in 08.

jess from Canada   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

I am enjoing this so much!! People crying, people praying, people singing—WHAT A BUNCH OF FOOLS

Marie in California   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Too bad.

Since Hillary's out, now I'll have to vote for McCain….and that's true even if Hillary comes aboard as VP.

Envisioning Obama in the presidency is like having my worst nightmare unfolding before my very eyes. At least McCain is an honorable and distinguished man who has given much for his country.

McCain - 2008

Chris H. Willowbrook, IL   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Congrats Sen, Obama! Way to make Illinois proud! Best of luck against McCain. To you Clinton supporters, she ran a great race, I hope you will consider Obama now so we don't have another 4 years of Bush politics… Democrats in '08!!!

Gale Oxley   June 3rd, 2008 9:18 pm ET

I wish to congratulate all Americans who took the step of faith and voted for the FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. In the Caribbean we cannot fathom this success but history and tears of the American southern states has brought feelings of awe to the surface. An achievement such as this was not thrust upon the man but the uphill struggle against all odds and sacrifice was evident in the final moments. I am certain he will win the presidency thereby making the free world truly free. He has more than he knows but only those who have eyes can see. God bless him, his mother who bore him and all who opposed him making him the refined individual that he has become.

American Citizen   June 3rd, 2008 9:18 pm ET

Hello American People!

Well, the insiders of the Democratic Party have picked up Obama like the nominee. So the American Hero is now our hope to defend our values. Thanks Fighter Lady for your tenacity, fortress, and dedication.

Go McCain!!!
God Bless America!!!

Terry   June 3rd, 2008 9:18 pm ET

Wins the Democratic nomination…
Loses the Presidential Election in November IF he does not pick Hillary as VP.

As for those who say they are Hillary supporters and bash us Hillary supporters who will note vote for Obama… Maybe it's more about the person running for election and not a PARTY. Maybe it's more about trusting the PERSON then rhetoric or simply the party they represent. I was a registered Independent until this election when I voted for Hillary in the primary. It wasn't because she was white, it wasn't because she was a Democrat, it was because behind all ideas and actual plans she told of how to make change happen(unlike some who just spewed "change Koolaid", I actually believe she would do the things she said she would because she worked so hard all her life to do so and you could see it and you could feel it.

In 2006 I voted Democratic for pretty much every seat open because the Democrats said they would stop Bush in Iraq. They lied… They cowered.. The did nothing.. They backed down.. Never again wil I vote simpy for a party, but judge each person up for the position from each party and choose. Voting line item in the voting booth is as clueless as a lemmings that run off cliffs. I do not think Obama is the best person to lead this country out of all the candidates. Choice 1 would be Hillary, McCain 2nd, and Obama 3rd.. Vote for WHO you think would do the best job. Not who you are forced to HOPE would do the best job because you have fewer alternatives. Nobama. Didn't drink the Koolaid.

Steve-Florida   June 3rd, 2008 9:18 pm ET

The democratic party will never understand how they messed up and that millions and millions of us we will not be unified because so many of us were disenfranchised. Sad but true.

Congratulations, USA!!!! Another milestone has been set not in the USA alone but for the world. A blackman winning the primary nomination of a major party in a mostly white population. I remember reading a silly commentary from an european blogger calling Americans fools for letting a blackman competing in a primary.

Another reason why America leads the world. Go USA!!! This is the reasons why God has blessed USA.

The democratic nomination process is a crock….all the superdelegates and drama! If we were lucky enough to nominate like the Republicans we would be celebrating a different candidate right now.

Barbara   June 3rd, 2008 9:17 pm ET

The superdelegates decided this primary. The Democrats are no better than the Florida Republicans. Donna Brazille was going to leave the party if super delegates made the decision. Seems she recanted/. I cried when G. Bush was named President. I'm crying now.

DemocracyNow2008   June 3rd, 2008 9:17 pm ET

Obama I am proud that you are our Democratic Nominee.
I hope my kid will grow up in a world of peace and understanding .
You will beat McCain and bring needed progressive change to America and start a movement that will bring the world together in harmony not hate love not fear .

I will work to makesure your elected the next President of The United States of America.

May you be blessed always Senator.

Carla   June 3rd, 2008 9:17 pm ET

I can not believe that all people got convinced with Barak Obama.
I am a Hillary supported and I will stand there until the end; so I am not going to vote this elections because I don't believe in Obama and I do not trust in MacCain
Really deeply I hope that all the people that voted for Obama won't get disappointed soon enough to regret their votes!
Please review other situations in other part of the world, don't even far from USA, do research and think a little bit before to go to vote… See Mexico elections on 2002, Venezuela with Chavez, Cuba with Fidel!!!
I agree with Gob bless America!! and please do not vote for MacCain!!

ErinOK   June 3rd, 2008 9:17 pm ET

This is so exciting! This is a great day in American. If we can elect Obama/Clinton in November, it will be one of the greatest days in America. Its time to unite; it is time to beat McCain. I know many people do not want Clinton to be VP because of some of the tactics in the primaries. Please look at it this way (should it happen) - the tactics will be used against McCain. Obama/Clinton - lets UNITE!

Gar   June 3rd, 2008 9:16 pm ET

Obama might have been annoited by the democrats but there is about half the country who must elevate him to sainthood. this may be tougher than the media makes it out to be,one obstacle, John McCain who has suffered a lot for his country and may just be rewarded for the great service and pain he has been through to deserve the chance. Ask any veteran who had a shot fired in anger McCain is no warmonger but knows the cost of peace.

Brad   June 3rd, 2008 9:15 pm ET

Are you kidding me? You cut away from McCain's speech to let your talking heads worship Obama even though it's been known for weeks that he would be the nominee?!?!

YEEEEESSSSSS OBAAAAMA

As for Hillary Clinton supporters THANK YOU and I want to say I have a tremendous respect for Senator Clinton because I think if she didn't stay in this race he wouldn't have been seasoned for the onslaught the republicans are bringing.

Even though hillary Clinton supporters are going to say mean things I want to appreciate you in advance and I hope that you can join us so CLINTON CAN ALSO HAVE A VOICE IN THE FUTURE ADMINISTRATION.

Paula in WI   June 3rd, 2008 9:14 pm ET

paul   June 3rd, 2008 9:14 pm ET

Congratulatons, Sen. Obama!

I started out as a Biden supporter (gave him $$) but you won me over after Sen. Biden dropped out. Those of us who missed JFK's Presidency now have a chance to experience first hand an open, transformative Presidency that inspires the country and the world. One that begins with many detractors, here and abroad, but that wins them over with fresh ideas, wise decisions, and brilliant day-to-day execution. Just as we've seen in your campaign.

You had many chances to take exasperated shots at Sen. Clinton and her antics, but you took the high road. That alone is a good indication that you have some of the right stuff for the job.

I'll be sending in my second check to you soon.

Melanie, Lake Wales, FL   June 3rd, 2008 9:14 pm ET

"We must all understand that what Obama has done is just purely remarkable and should not be taken lightly. As a man of color myself I stand in awe and want to thank every American that can see beyond the outer layer of Obama and who has judged him by what’s in his heart and not by his outer layer.

To all the Hillary Clinton Supporters I hope you all can over come you disappointment and anger before November. I will be the first with my arms open and embrace all of you. I urge all of us Obama supporters to reach out to all the Clinton people and bring them in with love and understanding. Tell the Clinton supporters we need them and we can’t do it with out them. Welcome them to a new and better America and the Obama campaign that is set to lift America to a Higher Ground!

God Bless you all!
God Bless America!

Deb Grieve   June 3rd, 2008 9:13 pm ET

The voters didn't vote for Obama the superdelegates did. This is a man who cares more about his DNC members than the American voter, which was made clear by him taking his name off the ballot in Michigan and not wanting their votes or Floridas to count. I am an Independent voter and would have considered Clinton. I will never vote for a person who cares more about superdelegates than voters.

Jay   June 3rd, 2008 9:13 pm ET

Looks like WE are voting for McCain..YES WE CAN!

ignore the imposters   June 3rd, 2008 9:13 pm ET

PLEASE IGNORE ANY POSTINGS BY 'ANGRY DEMOCRATS WHO SUPPORT HILLARY, BUT WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN OVER OBAMA'. THEY ARE ACTUALLY OPERATIVES OF RUSH LIMBAUGHS OPERATION CHAOS. I KNOW THIAS FOR A FACT.
THIS IS OBAMAS MOMENT TO SHINE. PLEASE ALLOW US ALL TO CELEBRATE THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY WITHOUT DIVISIVE COMMENTS POSTED INTENDED ONLY TO RAIN ON OUR PARADE.

Dem Switching   June 3rd, 2008 9:13 pm ET

THIS WAS A FIXED NOMINATION………………………………………………….VOTE MCCAIN

Hillary: The Real Nominee   June 3rd, 2008 9:12 pm ET

AP and Fox news declared this hours ago; what planet on you on CNN. Also, Hillary Clinton is the Winner! of South Dakota. CNN made a nice effort to dramatize this inconsequential event considering Hillary continues to win the primaries. Automatic delegates would of been better off waiting to declare after Hillary has proven she is the stronger general election candidate. The super delegates serve no purpose to me.

Democrats love to loose   June 3rd, 2008 9:12 pm ET

Congratulations John McCain.
Many people don't want Obama more than they don't want you,
celebrate!

Swing-state Wayne   June 3rd, 2008 9:11 pm ET

I wish I could share in the joy the Obama people are feeling tonight. However, I can never vote for Obama for President - and that is not easy to say as a life-long Democrat who has never voted for a Republican. I will not vote for McCain. But, I can not forget the "in your face" attitude of the Obama people throughout this campaign, nor can I forget the constant drum of "now you white people are going to get it" attitude of Obama supporters.

I will be glad when the election is over, McCain gets his 4 years over with, and we can finally nominate and elect a qualified individual to lead this country. If the Obama people believe they can take the white house without the support of those who supported other Democrats during this process, they will be as disappointed as the more than 17 million Americans that voted for Sen. Clinton.

Beu Canadian   June 3rd, 2008 9:11 pm ET

If you hate OBAMA more than you like HILLARY and MCCAIN, ask yourself, of whom are you a true fan of.
For those who say they would rather vote MCCAIn instead of OBAMA because HILLARY lost, I say to you, hide your kids in your basement because we will all be dead in four year so say goodbye to your chance in participating in the next election.

P/S if there was a world vote on the Next American president, 98% would be for OBAMA and the remaining 2% would be for MCCAIN and they would all be from only "ILLITERATE" Americans.
Open your eyes America, you need the world to see you in a new light and not as fools whom let SPIN and PR from a deranged leader lead you to a war that cannot be won.

Oh yeah! 4 Delegates left to cross the line….

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS…..WHEN IT'S RAINNING SUPER DELEGATES…..

I agree with many from earlier. Lets move on from the Democrat divide of the last months and proceed with getting Obama in the White House! McCain will add 4 more years of misery to this country!

Independant now   June 3rd, 2008 9:10 pm ET

Obama has won the battle. Clean the stains off of your keyboards. He hasn't won the war.

We'll just see how things work out. Hillary is still a very large factor in this.

marvin   June 3rd, 2008 9:10 pm ET

3 Points

1) Obama is half white. That fact is always forgotten with the "first african american nominee" he is the first non white nominee.

2) Hillary didn't win because she is a woman.

3) She was cheated by the Michigan/Florida fiasco.

McCain '08

After listening to McCain's speech, as a conservative Democrat…I am undecided.

After the vitriol from Obama supporters toward Clinton, such as "Obama will need a food taster in the White House" and figuring THAT kind of language in the Media is acceptable….I am back to undecided.

I do want to congratulate Obama on a hard fought race. In the end, we all knew the super delegates would decide…and they have.

Woot!   June 3rd, 2008 9:09 pm ET

Tailor,

I hear you. Both sides of these comment boards have been fairly schoolyard ngyah-ngyah about the whole thing.

Hopefully, now that it's settled, both the Obama-boys and the Hillary-for-McCain people will take a minute to breathe, and realize that we're on the same side here.

Hillary ran a great campaign, Obama ran a great one too. Obama won the nomination, so it's time to put away the schoolyard taunts (I think there never really was a place for it, but anyway…) and start playing to win, together.

Dem Switching   June 3rd, 2008 9:09 pm ET

Don't write in Hillary's name that is just a empty vote and empty votes are for Obama. Vote McCain 08

I'm watching this from Canada and just watched John Mccain's speech—if you Americans vote this boob in–you get what you deserve. I've never seen such a fake smile in my life. He looks like someone who would kiss the babies and then steal thier milk. Please don't turn the whitehouse into a geriatric ward.

I am still uncertain who I will back for President 08. However, I researched the candidate's positions and decided that I agree with more of Obama's views than I do McCain's. I am astonished at all of the bitter Clinton supporters in claiming they will back McCain in Nov. as opposed to the Democratic nominee. There are very little differences in either Obama or Clinton's views on policies. Any so called "Democrat" that votes for McCain in the fall just because their choice did not make it, shall reap what they sow. Go ahead, support McCain. Send this country into 4 more years of Bush hell. I don't want to hear any of you say one negative word about it after it's all said and done. Now, let's stop crying and complaining and do what we all are interested in. Bringing this country back to where it should be. In good standing with the rest of the world, instead of the laughingstock.

Now on to the presidency….President Obama 2008!!!!!!

Ben WA   June 3rd, 2008 9:07 pm ET

I loved Tailor's comment. A vote for McCain by a bitter Clinton supporter is a wasted vote for another four years of Bush. Time to get behind our candidate and take back our country, and restore the world's view of the American ideal. GoBama.

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   June 3rd, 2008 9:03 pm ET

As a football coach for 19 years, one of thing I have learned is this. In every contest there is a teacher and a student. Hillary and Bill Clinton for the last 28 years have always been the teachers. However, in this contest they are they are now the students, Obama has overcame insurmountable odds. He has overcome his race, age, experience, his wired name, his religious affiliations, his gaffes and one the fiercest competitors in political history in America the Clinton Dynasty.

We must all understand that what Obama has done is just purely remarkable and should not be taken lightly. As a man of color myself I stand in awe and want to thank every American that can see beyond the outer layer of Obama and who has judged him by what’s in his heart and not by his outer layer.

To all the Hillary Clinton Supporters I hope you all can over come you disappointment and anger before November. I will be the first with my arms open and embrace all of you. I urge all of us Obama supporters to reach out to all the Clinton people and bring them in with love and understanding. Tell the Clinton supporters we need them and we can’t do it with out them. Welcome them to a new and better America and the Obama campaign that is set to lift America to a Higher Ground!

God Bless you all!
God Bless America!
