LIVE: The first CNN Projection that Obama Wins Nomination

[MCSnicks]

4 years later and nothing has changed

[MsJenniferNoelani]

I'm sure the democrats wished it was Hillary that won

[mrtechnicaldificult]

@MsJenniferNoelani nope

[MsJenniferNoelani]

It WAS a great day in History as far as an African America man winning, he especially won with people like me that are moderate independents-however my state is CA so he would of won that with or without my vote. He spoke so many things against Bush-but turned out to be a lot like him. We're further in a ditch, he use to poke at Bush driving us into a ditch... The irony of that!

[roswellatup]

one of the worst nights in america ever... yuck

[SirTenenbaum]

YES WE CAN maintain the military-industrial complex! Corporatism we can believe in! George W. Bush's third term! Great job everybody! We did it!

[MCSnicks]

@SirTenenbaum right on dude! you know the truth. too bad all these Obamafied moonbats don't.

[DarPower1]

I think the Kkk had a heart attack

[mwan245]

@DarPower1

and they're gonna get wiped out in the next election

[MCSnicks]

@DarPower1 You're Racist.

-Obama

[TheAmericanLiberal]

I will forever remember this day. A great day indeed

[onebadmutha44]

I remember that day, i was on my way home from work listening to the radio and they were saying that he (Obama) was getting superdelegates by the hour, what a great night, what a great election, what a great President.

[NobbyKNobbs]

I doubt he'll win the presidential nomination though. Those republicans are sneaky.

[alabamagoldrush]

I watched this on CNN that night, I was excited

[DentedPersonality]

"Based on our projected... projections"

This message is brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.

[capricornkarma]

I was there in Minneapolis the night he won the nomination. Eye witness to the fist-bump lol :)

[randygarbel]

get over it

[Arlease37]

i wish people would blacks not as ghetto, hood,or below them. We are equal and and each race in america is. That night i felt really proud of my country. Racism will always be until people can get over the stereotypes.

[GitThatMutha]

There are ghetto and hoods in all cultures.

[JG02730]

blacks, japs, autistics, retards, gays, asians, muslims, and every other thing thats not neurotypical or white does not deserve equality.

[AtomikNY]

Go back to the 19th century where you belong, douchebag.

[Ezekiel1000000]

i guess the japanese should stop making computers for whites and wipe them out since there smarter!!

[xaajiga]

what is a white man doing in AFRICA?

[zipviruss]

he said south africa stupid moron..

there is too many holland people.. mafahantay

[Darkmind1970]

???????????????

[082076]

The biggest moment of recorded racism. Acceptted racism. Ok, now we know the score.

[Stinkywrix]

Did you not see how close Clinton came to winning?

Obama won fair and square.

[082076]

pfffft. Bush wont be a hard act to follow. I also enjoy very much that 95 percent of black people vote for Obama. You little racist fucks. Get the hell away from me.

[SuperboyXX0018]

You voted for death.... congratulations!!!

[ReneeSonoma]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

[cmouell]

Would it not have been "history making" if Hillary had won the nomination?

[joshatkins94]

Yes. But I think this is more exciting. Hillary's awesome, but Barack Obama is more of a liberal.

After all, here in Britain we elected a female leader in 1979 (Thatcher).

[rizzah42]

THIS IS NOT! The video of him being elected President, just his party's nominee.

[calafsdream]

My wife and I, with tears in our eyes, opened a bottle of champagne, in Sydney Australia. The celebrations were world-wide.

[kappa8koin]

Cheers..........^_^ I am so happy for all of us

[joshatkins94]

I'm a 14-yr-old Brit, and I stayed up till after 1 a.m. to watch it on my laptop downstairs (everyone else in my house was asleep).

Man, it was awesome. You see the news that Barack Obama was elected, and it's like a kind of euphoria you just can't describe.

Yes We Can, Yes America Did.

Thank You America.

[joshatkins94]

I'm talking about the general election night though. When I heard he'd clinched the Dem nomination I was pleased then too.

[NeCiFiX]

Joshatkins94,

I'm a 14 year old American, who campaigned for Barack Obama. I knocked on many doors and made thousands of phone calls for Barack Obama, while I wasn't jumping up and down when he won, I felt odd. I felt slightly proud, I felt good. It's these comments like the one you wrote that really makes me think that all the time I contributed was worth it. Thank you.

[ToManyPhones]

Im a 14 year old Brit and I did the same. lol.

[twilightgirlusa]

aww thanks all we need is to get other peoples respect that we lost now

[iwant2ballama]

everyone around the world did...

[dtwan1234]

That great!

[skypurple15]

i'll never forget this me, my mom, and younger bro. were cheering! laughing! and crying! when we watched this!

[cuddlys34bubble]

OMG how creepy is that?? Same EXACT thing with me, except i also had an older sister in the room with us. once we saw what the thing said we just started screaming and pretty much calling everyone we know (including people around the world). it was an amazingly epic night i shall never forget. i'm so glad i found this. i've been looking for it for like a few hours! ..ok more like 10 minutes :)

[cuddlys34bubble]

WHOA ok. hold it there. i thought this was the thing from last night. looks so similar. so that story there was from last night...haha. ok back onto my search for last night's announcement from cnn..

[Bokalarm]

[chaselafon]

It did happen; get over it.

[Brian211978]

and lerarn how to speak!

[LeavesNoTrace]

MAN!!! GROW UP!!!

[Nominay]

ha ha, Wolf Blitzer was immediately cued to cut away from the Charlotte scene and Jillian's because the tv there was tuned into MSNBC!

[kdTV2Lvr]

inbetween each msnbc tv was a cnn tv.

[JoeJack101]

Considering the shot of Jillian's was on the screen for 41 seconds, Wolf was NOT cued to cut away from the shot. Plus, Wolf doesn't control any of the shots anyway. The control room does and if they wanted they could have cut away from it in a fraction of a second.

[Nominay]

Who are you, Wolf Blitzer's camera man?

[m0hadino]

YES. WE. CAN

YES. WE. CAN

YES. WE. CAN

History before our eyes

[timmyj40]

mlk,jfk would have been proud.

[NeverEclipsed]

yes we can

[simpsonsfan2007]

History before our eyes.
