Hillary Clinton said, "I want to start tonight by congratulating Senator Obama and his supporters on the extraordinary race that they have run. Senator Obama has inspired so many Americans to care about politics and empowered so many more to get involved and our party and our democracy is stronger and more vibrant as a result. "

Meanwhile, Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain welcomed Obama to the autumn campaign for the White House.

John McCain said, "Pundits and party elders have declared that Obama will be my opponent. He will be a formidable one. But I'm ready for the challenge and determined to run this race in a way that does credit to our campaign and to the proud, decent and patriotic people that I asked to lead."
