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.

    It's a new day, not a sad day.

    This is not your parents' Democratic Party anymore. That political party is dead. You know I'm right. You feel it in your bones. It is a sad day for all of us.

    Arguably, my parent's democratic party has been dead since the Eighties. And they know it. My mom voted for Hillary, but she's told me there is no way in hell she will vote for a Republican. Endquote.

    And I do find it interesting that while you are stating that Obama is too left, Jeb is worrying that Obama will be too right.
