In a raucous roll call of states that stretched into early
Thursday, Ohio put Obama over top, giving him a victory that was a foregone
conclusion before the first caucus in January.
Transcript of Barack Obama's remarks
Four years ago, Obama prevailed in an epic primary fight
against Hillary Rodham Clinton to become the first black presidential candidate
to lead his party. This time around, Obama was the only Democrat on the ballot
in every state and former President Bill Clinton put Obama's name in
nomination.
Democrats are scheduled to nominate Joe Biden for a second
term as vice president later Thursday.
