Time to heal party rifts as obama sets his sights on white house.
(From Western Daily Press)
Barack Obama set out to unite the Democratic Party yesterday as his campaign to become the first black President of the United States focused on healing rifts with rival Hillary Clinton.
The 46-year-old Illinois senator made history as the first black presidential nominee of a major US party after he clinched the nomination on the final day of one of the closest and most expensive primary seasons in memory.
Mr Obama will now face Republican John McCain in November's general election to decide who will be the 44th president of the US.
He came under immediate pressure to consider Mrs Clinton as his running mate after she gave a speech on Tuesday night in which she appeared to wield her power and influence, rather than concede defeat or suspend her campaign.
She also told colleagues in her home state of New York that she would be willing to become Mr Obama's running mate if it would help Democrats win the White House.
But publicly she said she was "making no decisions" on her political future.
