By Matt Fleming, Capital News Service CHARLOTTE, NC—It's official—Barack Obama is this year's Democratic presidential candidate. Following last night's state roll call, there was nothing left for the president to do but take the stage and accept the party's nomination, while touting the past term's accomplishments and promising future prosperity.

HAHAHA Frankiegirl, you are such a silly little girl, nice comeback for a libtard, NOT!!!. I bet that is the top of the list of attack methods for you people or is it to correct spelling to give you a false sense of "superiority" over those who misspell a word now and again.
