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.

    Indigo, you are a nasty piece of work

    You need to quit it with the anti-black rhetoric. It makes you look stupid (and racist).

    And really, what if Barack Obama IS the affirmative action candidate? Affirmative action is about making the playing field level for EQUALLY OR MORE QUALIFIED candidates. Go learn your terms before slinging them out to insult.

    You are a poor example of a Hillary Clinton supporter. Do you really think she'd agree with all the B.S. you're spouting off? I think not--at least Hillary is a true progressive.
