Democratic Party Looks to Regroup Following Fierce Battle

Leaders of the Democratic party intend to attempt to urge uncommitted superdelegates to publicly show their preference for Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton by the end of the week, according to USA Today.

Numerous Democratic officials are denying trying to force Clinton into an immediate decision to drop out of the race, with reports that surfaced yesterday of Clinton's potential interest in the Vice President position showing that she may have interest in being Obama's running mate.

Clinton congratulated Obama as well as his supporters on his clinching of the party's presidential nomination.

Obama expressed his feelings about clinching the Democratic presidential nomination to an exuberant crowd in St. Paul last night, saying, "Tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another - a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States."
