Barack Obama has throughout his campaign against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton inspired millions of people to join his side through his inspirational speaking and his call for change.  It is apparent that now the awe that Obama has inspired has contributed to his demanding lead in the delegate count over Clinton. With such a lead too strong for Clinton to overcome, it has become utterly clear that Obama has indeed locked up the nomination. I say this not only because every news outlet is reporting the same thing, but that Obama has demonstrated he can overcome pretty much anything thrown at him. All negatives that his opponents have mustered against him, have completely failed to negatively affect his campaign in any way. Sure, many people grew angry and weary at him over the Reverend Wright issue, but during Tuesdays primaries Obama proved he can still get votes. Obama should now set his focus on his Republican opponent, John McCain. Clinton still has a very solid opportunity at being named Obama’s Vice-President, although John Edwards or Bill Richardson are they most likely candidates.
