Night lands Clinton closer to oblivion

Obama takes North Carolina and only barely loses Indiana, narrowing Hillary's hopes to the 366 phantom delegates from Michigan and Florida.

    some kind words for america

    but somehow the vast majority of america would not only overlook this but be entranced by his nobility, intelligence and frankness.

    pat yourselves on the back, america!

    Umm . . . you do know that "america" consists of more than AA's and bat-shit crazy liberals, don't you?

    That the DEM PARTY has let a slight majority of them pick the nominee doesn't speak for "america".

    I've voted a straight Dem ticket for the last sixteen years. I've given thousands of dollars to Dem candidates. But I didn't vote for Dukakis, and I won't vote for Obama (even with a Clinton-supporter as his VP).

    I'd rather have a President McCain; I'll support him in his moderate policies, and oppose him on his conservative ones.

    That's still better than a disaster of a President Obama administration. (I do remember the Carter years).

    Country above party.

    IMHO.
