<title>Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination</title>
<link>http://world.commongate.com/post/Barack_Obama_Wins_Democratic_Nomination</link>
<description><![CDATA[Barrack Obama has claimed the Democratic nomination having secured enough delegates and super-delegates to claim victory. Of course, technically this assumes that the supers all vote as they say they will and they are free to change their minds. So no doubt we'll continue to hear debate on this subject until either the convention or Hillary steps down.

Clinton has yet to acknowledge Obama's victory in the bruising Democratic race and her aides â also dodging that conclusion â said on the...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Imagine a Toyota Prius, but faster, cleaner and greener. Such a car is coming soon and will launch at the Detroit auto show in January 2009.
