As one ends, a new one begins

The long, intensive, and “grueling battle” between Clinton and Obama came to an end when the latter accepted his nomination to run as the Democratic representative to run for president of the United States.

The article, “Obama Claims Nomination; First Black Candidate to Lead a Major Party Ticket,” emphasizes the fact that this election represents a historically memorable event in the lives of Americans. When the Framers created the first Constitution for this nation, neither the African Americans nor the women of this nation fully received equal opportunities, let alone rights.

However, as displayed in this article, times have definitely changed to where America “[marked] the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another.” One significant political battle has reached its end; however, the war is yet to begin between Democratic Obama and Republican McCain. With Clinton at Obama’s side as a faithful Democrat, it is important that the public tune into the continuing presidential campaigns yet to unfold as history writes a new chapter in the United States' government.
