A STATEMENT FROM SENATOR NORM COLEMAN
Statement On Senator Obama Clinching Democratic Nomination
SAINT PAUL – The following is a statement from U.S. Senator Norm Coleman on Senator Obama clinching the Democratic nomination:
"As the first African-American to become a major-party nominee for the presidency, Senator Obama has taken a historic step and I congratulate him on securing the commitments to be his party's nominee. At the same time, as we turn to the general election, voters will see that clear contrasts exist between Senator Obama and Senator John McCain. With a long, distinguished record of serving our nation in both the military and in Congress, Senator McCain has embodied the values of leadership, patriotism, accomplishment and experience that voters are looking for in this election. Whether it be fighting to end wasteful Washington spending or making our nation more secure, John McCain's record of bipartisan accomplishment is more than just words."
