Barack Obama took a big step towards securring the Democratic presidential nomination by a very strong win in North Carolina and by holding his own in Indiana in last night’s primaries.Here is what Obama said:
When this campaign began, Washington didn’t give us much of a chance. But because you came out in the bitter cold, and knocked on doors, and enlisted your friends and neighbors in this cause; because you stood up to the cynics, and the doubters, and the nay-sayers when we were up and when we were down; because you still believe that this is our moment, and our time, for change – tonight we stand less than two hundred delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.
