Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation’s first female president.

While Hillary is conceding that Barack has the delegates needed, she’s not dropping out just yet. I’m not quite sure why, but regardless, we’re going to celebrate the fact that Barack Obama has won the Democratic nomination tonight!

We don’t have a venue yet, because this is just breaking. But, I’ll announce it here after we have it confirmed. And if you have a place you’d like to offer that has a tv and plenty of room, let me know!

It’s rather amusing to me how right on the spot that The Spoof was about this.

Update: Yes, I know that other sources say she’s denying that she’ll concede. However, look at the way they phrased it - she’s denying that she’ll concede the nomination. She can’t deny that Obama will have the required number of delegates to declare victory tonight. While Montana only has 16 delegates at stake, it’s expected that the remaining undeclared Super Delegates will be simultaneously announcing their support of Senator Obama, giving him the delegates needed. We will have won. And we’re gonna celebrate!

    I don’t know where! We’re trying to find a venue, and I’ll post as soon as we have that nailed down. Let me know if you have any ideas. We’re trying for a place with a tv that we can watch the speech on, and we don’t want a bar.
