Obama's historic run heads south

Did his victory in Iowa and strong showing in New Hampshire really "put to rest the notion that a black candidate can't win in America"?

    Some will go the other way

    I'm sick and tired of the Clintons and I worry about Clintons Redux, and their two-steps-backward rendition of "We're entitled." Mrs. Hillary has always been an ambitious person, good for her, and she's entitled to run for the presidency on the (tattered) coattails of Mr. Bill. (I suspect that had he not been her husband, philanderer or not, she would not be anywhere near the top of this heap. Prove me wrong on that!) They were always the conniving politicians, through thick and thin, and I'm not about to reward that shit with my vote. If she gets the nomination, I'm over to the dark side and voting for the Republican. My only (other than giving the shaft to the Clintons) joy in that is it will only be another 4 years, and then Barack Obama can come back and put things right. Yep, a vote for Clinton is a vote for the past. A vote for, um, yech, ah, let's see, McCain(?) is a vote for the future - Obama's.
