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.

    Right-Wingers Vote for Hillary As They Are Told To Do. She Cannot Win the General Election. // NOTE: To List Conversation-Holders

    ON LOOKING OVER SOME OF THE EARLY LETTERS IT SEEMS THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING THE FACT THAT THE RIGHT-WINGERS HAVE BEEN EXHORTED TO VOTE FOR CLINTON WHENEVER THEY CAN -- AND THAT THE COUNTS FOR CLINTON ARE PARTLY MADE UP OF THEM. During the actual election, those people won't be anywhere to be found.

    Clinton would lose, in any case. She can't win the election, though she says she is 'the most electable' over and over again.

    [NOTE to List Conversation Holders: How about letter-writers not having irrelevant and mutually-insulting conversations with each other on these lists? It just swells them unnecessarily and grosses out the other readers. And wastes our time. Could you talk to someone on IM, for instance? Someone you know is willing to read such a conversation? or call someone and have the conversation there. Thanks.]
