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"?

    Are You all dingbats?

    You'll only vote for a candidate if they're 100% pure and squeaky clean. As far as I can tell, the Virgin Mary is not running. So I guess it will just have to be a Democrat. Are some of you still in kindergarten?--are you seriously contemplating voting for McCain. Why not just vote for Beelzebub, or your friendly local psychopath (oh, that's right, you already have. He's in the White house right now screwing you all. And you want to put another one just like him in there because they don't have 'charisma'.) Christ almighty! (nope, he's not available either. But then there's always Obama. he's soooo nice).
