In one swoop
Obama made up all the delegates and votes that he lost in Penn to Hillary. There is no way she can win. The superdelegates are not going to take away the nomination from Barack because they know it would cause to many blacks not to vote.
This is the crux and the basis of a lot of hate from Hillary supporters. For once black folks have a real say in who the Presidential nominee will be. For too long we have been told who we had to settle for voting for who whites said was best for us. Even today Hillary and her talking heads want to make this about working class whites. but you can talk about white working class votes all you want but black working class votes count just as much and in this election and probably more because that vote shut out Hillary.
Some whites. Let me say again "some whites" for once are feeling like the minority and they hate it. They now are feeling like the NIGGER. They are feeling like no one cares about them. That no one cares about their interest. They are also feeling like someone of less intelligence and abilities could be in charge of their lives. Welcome into black folks world. But what is so scary about white racist is that even when a black man does everything you say he must to fit in and join in you still hate him. If he is on the streets he is a thug. If he gets a degree he is an uppity elitist. If he tells the truth about a gas tax you say he does not understand you. So we can only assume that no matter what he does for some it would never be good enough. White racist will commit Political suicide before they will vote for a black man.
For some the fear that blacks are going to take over and do to whites what some whites have done to blacks for so too many years is just to hard to overcome.
For those whites they are going to have to do what black and brown folks have had to do all their adult lives and that is vote your best interest even though you may not like the candidate. Believe me many blacks did not like Clinton/Gore-Kerry/Edwards and other candidates but they voted for them anyway. Why did they do it,because it was in their best interest.
If you believe your a white male who is going to continue to send your family,friends, country men and women to war is your best interest vote for McCain. If you think your best interest is voting for a white male that is going to give tax breaks to the wealthist while the working people have to crunch every penny then vote McCain. If you think that paying more health care,education,food,gas,and lights are in your best interest then vote for the McCain. You will kill your business,accumalte more debt and see your fellow country men die because you can't stand that uppity,negro.
But if know you don't like black people but don't want to stay in Iraq,want lower taxes,fuel cost,affordable health care and education cost then vote your hopes and for Barack. I know it is going to be hard. You have been told all your lives of the inferiority of black people. You have grown up on a daily dose of black crime,Affirmative action,Jessie Jackson,angry black people and Louis Farrahkhan. It is hard for some of you to believe a black man could excel on his own,relate to you or look out for you.
This election is about a country finally growing up getting past it's worst fears nad finally living up to it's best ideals.
I advise some of who are so fearful of blacks to to Google black inventions,war heroes,and people like Benjamin Banneker. You wills see that blacks even in the worst of times have always fought,died and uplifted this country. Maybe it might eleviate some of your ill conceived fears.

@ bahasa
As Chuck Todd pointed out last night even if you factor in the flawed voting in Michigan and Florida after last night Obama still leads in the popular vote (which is meaningless, lets not forget) by 100 to 150K and leads in delegates (which do matter) by 100 to 120. Nothing in West Virginia or Kentucky or Puerto Rico is going to change that.
Break out the forks and toothpicks because Hillary Clinton is done, folks. Good riddance to bad, war-monger, race mongering, vagina mongering rubbish. If she wants to stick around to West Virginia and pick up the White Supremacist vote, fine by me as long as she stops with the mud-slinging. But the Primary is Over. Obama is the nominee.
Time to focus on getting Obama elected and calling the Equine Ambulance for John McCain.

ncawley and "perspective"
Ncawley: "1.) Hillary Clinton won the state of Indiana"
Thanks for the update! We were all waiting for the results.
Ncawley: "2.) The media was all along stating she would not win either Indiana or North Carolina."
Which media? Every media I saw was projecting Clinton the winner by around 5%, in accordance with the polls. Got a link or reference that shows otherwise? By all means, let's see your source.
Ncawley: "3.) Indiana borders the state of Illinois, which is where Obama lives."
Indiana also borders Ohio, where Clinton won by 60%, and it has mostly the same demographics as Ohio. Obama was also still suffering some of the effects of a downturn at the polls after the Rev. Wright junk.

Hillary on the Supreme Court?
This came up on TV yesterday, and it struck me immediately as a bad fit. Hillary's strengths are political. She is dogged in her pursuit of whatever she wants, she fights like heck, and she is willing to play dirty to get it. These qualities don't turn me on, which is why I'm an Obama supporter, but I am not immune to their effectiveness and, perhaps, necessity, at times. Her ambition and perseverance don't make sense for a position that requires a philosophical approach to problems and absolutely no politics whatsoever, given the lifetime appointment. At the risk of sounding like I think my candidate is best at everything!!!, I honestly think Obama is better suited for the Supreme Court.
Hillary is best in the Senate. She keeps her eye on the ball and goes for it, whatever it is. If we realize that that all along it has been to be President, it explains her war mongering (Iraq vote, Iran talk) and pandering on flag issues. What we need to remember is if her new it becomes something like health care in an Obama administration, she will be a formidable force. She would frankly be wasted on the Supreme Court.
