Barack Obama's epic win

The young senator makes history not only in terms of race, while a determined Hillary Clinton delays the inevitable a bit longer.

    @red....

    You're funny. Of course, now that it is summer in Wisconsin I do notice that my skin tone is getting darker... perhaps "radically" darker. Will my liberal white guilt make me vote for Obama this November? Hmmmm. Nope. My sense that he has a lot more to offer than McCain will. Neither of the two Democratic candidates were in my top three at the start of this race. One of them moved up in my eyes and the other one became less likable to me over time... Nonetheless, I would have/will vote for the Democrat this November... call me a radical.
