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.

    Move on

    Re: "It's too bad that Clinton's spokesman Howard Wolfson has refused to admit that Obama actually clinched enough delegate..."

    I don't think it matters. Obama is the nominee whether they admit it or not. Hillary, even if she goes to the convention, can't get enough superdelegates to win, so what's the point?! My only guess is that she wants the VP spot, which would be fine with me, but probably not with the Democratic Party establishment. Today Jimmy Carter said that he wants Sam Nunn on the ticket. I think an Obama/Hillary ticket is a winner, which is why the media hate the idea of it so much. Whatever happens I wish that both sides would resolve it quickly so that we can move on.
