Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is expected to capture enough delegates in Tuesday's remaining two Democratic primaries to declare himself the Democratic Party's presidential contender and become the first African-American nominee of a major political party...

Obama is expected to speak shortly after 10 p.m. ET while the votes are still being counted in Montana and South Dakota, ending a grueling campaign that has set records for voter turnout all across the country...

Obama was almost giddy with exhaustion, relief and exhiliration as he showed off a new campaign bus Monday with his name plastered on the side.

***********************
Two words today:
grueling - 累人的, to the point of exhaustion
giddy - 晕眩的, dizzy; 兴奋的, cheer up

For ex.
Why we have to work such long grueling hours?
Giddy up, go!!
I must admit, I'm getting really giddy! I can't help it.

*** Notice in the original typo "exhiliration" should be "exhilaration" (兴奋)
