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 is not over until they vote

    The vote on who is the candidate does not take place until the convention. The super delegates can switch their minds until then. All Clinton has to do is bribe/threaten/AIPAC 100 supers (out of 800?) and she is the candidate.

    I hope it is Obama at least he will end torture and close Gitmo. But how will he balance the budget? End the trade deficit? Stop spending social security money on other things?
