Original article: Barack Obama's epic win

respect

Two thoughts--

Respect is something you have to give in order to get. The AUMF vote, Kyl Leiberman, and clusterbombs are not in my rear view mirror, but front and center. Please consider that many voters may actually have considered the issues and found Clinton's foreign policy/human rights record wanting. There is no doubt in my mind that neither gender nor race compared with the war in the outcome of the primary election.
