  Barack Obama tonight marked the end of an "historic journey" by declaring that "I will be the Democratic nominee."

After praising McCain's service, he lashed into his war policies, linked him to President Bush, and said it's time for the US to regain its place as a world leader. "America, this is our time," he said in a rousing finish. More »

  newser | CNN | Jun 3, 08 8:47 PM CDT
  
  Hillary Clinton has won the South Dakota primary, CNN reports, but the victory is a hollow one: It follows news that Barack Obama clinched the Democratic nomination.

  newser | Washington Post | Jun 3, 08 5:15 PM CDT
  
  Richard Cohen did not enjoy covering the 2008 Democratic primaries, and he writes in the Washington Post about everything he “loathed” about the race that “eroded the standing of both candidates”: The racism: Cohen is “stunned” that so many people came out to vote against a black man and calls the fact that they admitted it “frightening.” More »

  newser | MSNBC | Jun 3, 08 2:30 PM CDT
  
  The Clinton campaign apologized last night for Bill’s description of a Vanity Fair reporter as “sleazy,” “slimy,” “a dishonest guy” and a “scumbag” in response to a recent story about him in the magazine. "President Clinton was understandably upset about an outrageously unfair article," a Hillary rep said of Todd Purdum's piece, "but the language today was inappropriate and he wishes he had not used it."

- Daytime TV as Campaign Stop
  
  newser | Newsweek | Jun 3, 08 2:26 PM CDT
  
  You know where they stand on gas prices, but what about pantsuits and family pets? Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama are making the rounds of daytime talk shows and celebrity gossipfests, courting "low-info" voters—those mostly white, working class, and undecided folks who haven't been paying much attention to the campaign. And besides pulling in millions more viewers than Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert, softer shows also go easier on guests, reports Newsweek . More »

  newser | Wall Street Journal | Jun 3, 08 12:37 PM CDT
  
  Perhaps just hours from securing the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama's campaign is moving to grab the best donors, advisers, and operatives from Hillary Clinton's team, the Wall Street Journal reports.

- Five Things to Watch in Montana ...
  
  newser | Politico | Jun 3, 08 11:49 AM CDT
  
  Montana is shaping up to be a slam dunk for Barack Obama and a chance to head into the general election with some momentum, according to recent polls. But a surprise win by Hillary Clinton could give her the credibility she needs to sway superdelegates, writes Politico . Five things to watch: East vs. West: Clinton may be edging Obama out in the more rural east, and “if she starts cutting into his margins in the western part of the state, it could be closer,” says a pollster.

  newser | Politico | Jun 3, 08 11:49 AM CDT
  
  Unlike most of this year's primaries, South Dakota is a genuine toss-up. Different polls have both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama leading by double digits. Politico focuses on things to watch for: Split time zones: The western half of the state is an hour behind the eastern half; results won't be revealed until all polls close at 8pm CT. A late night: Ballots are transported to and counted at county auditor's offices, some more than 2 hours from polling places. More »

  "Most” of the Senate’s 17 uncommitted Democrats will endorse Barack Obama this week, sources tell CNN, though Majority Leader Harry Reid will remain neutral until Hillary Clinton officially exits. Obama officials had been “pressing” for earlier endorsements, but colleagues "don’t want to pound Hillary Clinton, and there is a sense she should be given a grace period.” More »

  newser | Salon | Jun 2, 08 12:54 PM CDT
  
  Hillary Clinton enjoyed a final vacation from reality this weekend, Mike Madden writes in Salon. Her stay in Puerto Rico—including riding a float loaded with giant speakers blaring salsa and reggaeton—“couldn’t possibly have been the most efficient use of” time for a fighting candidate: rather, it was a final ego trip and staff getaway.

  newser | Vanity Fair | Jun 2, 08 10:38 AM CDT
  
  As Hillary’s campaign staggers to a close, a professional Clinton-watcher shines the flashlight back into a familiar face—her husband’s. Bill has had a checkered ex-presidency, Todd Purdum reports in Vanity Fair , as a phalanx of former aides spills about girlfriends (including, maybe, Walter Mondale’s daughter), cash, "cavernous narcissism," and a coterie of dubious friends and associates.

  As campaign watchers strain to suss out Hillary Clinton’s endgame, the candidate’s not helping much—winking that she’ll stay in even as she lets some employees go. Asked about her plans after tomorrow’s last-in-the-country primaries, she said yesterday, “I’m sort of a day-at-a-time person,” “my political obituary has yet to be written” and “it is not over 'til it’s over.” More »
