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,

    (For the third time.) Can you please explain how it is that Obama's presumtive victory is an Affirmitive Action product, as you have repeatedly asserted? I'm curious as to exacty what kind of twisted logic you employ to come up with such a ridiculous idea. You probably find this question threatening, hence your inability to respond to it.

    Congratulations! You found a black man who doesn't like Obama. Neither did Alan Keyes. This proves exactly nothing.

    Obama did not get where he is because he's black. One could easily make the argument that he is where he is IN SPITE of the fact that he's black.

    I have to hand it to you, though. There is no shortage of morons who post at Salon, but your comments have been some of the most consistently vapid that I've seen in a long time.

    Or, maybe you could just hand it to yourself...
