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.

    God...

    The most retarded assertion running today is this ridiculous notion (again) that all Clinton supporters woke up this morning severely aggrieved, a la jeb or indigo. Really. Most Clinton supporters have lives and don't give a shit about whatever discussion is going on in the blogosphere. They don't know Obama trolls and don't care about the nastiness here or in other internet blogs. Please. 17 million Clinton voters aren't going to switch sides and vote for McCain. What a retarded, self-important assertion.

    No one owes either you or Clinton or Harriet Christian's crazy ass anything. Clinton lost. Someone was going to lose. She's still a good woman and her husband was a good President. But she couldn't beat Obama. So come along and help Obama win the country back, or go vote for McCain and be a baby. But the constant demand for ass-kissing is beyond tiresome.
