Barack Obama capped an historic night with an easy win in the Montana primary, CNN reports. In the nation's final contest, Obama led Clinton 58% to 40% with about half the returns in. The victory follows Obama's coronation as the Democratic nominee, though Hillary Clinton opted not to concede the race. Exit polls in Montana show voters split on whether Obama should pick Clinton as his VP; about 50% said yes, and 40% said no. (More Barack Obama stories.)
