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"?

    Voting on principles

    Bah!! Voting on principles got us 8 years of George II. Gore would have won if people voting on principle did not slither over to the Nader camp. When will people learn to vote for the lesser of 2 evils? Do people honestly think that Obama is so squeaky clean? I know that Hillary is totally honest and I certainly know that Obama is not either. This is politics. When Obama makes a claim that his supporters will not vote for Hillary he is sending out a coded message. How does he know what his supporters will do? So now is he laying the groundwork for a third party run?
