There was history made yesterday in the Democratic Party, the first African American to claim a major party’s presidential nomination: Barack Obama — before a rapturous crowd in Minnesota — claiming the prize after an epic campaign.

And there was mystery in the Democratic Party: Hillary Clinton, watching the same last primary results come in from South Dakota and Montana — and not conceding.

“What does Hillary want?” she asked last night in New York. We don’t yet know.

This hour, On Point: Obama makes history, Clinton does not concede.
