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.

    i TOLD YOU. I told you clinton was no longer a republican and was going to run as mccain's vp.

    HAving said that, Obama made a request to peoplelike me last night, after graciously winning last night. He made a call for me (those like me)to stand down. How does that work? Clinoton and her gop bobbleheads declared war on obama his supporters ANd the democratic party. the gop declared war on america and the democratic party long before obama was on the national scene. The gop, clinton included, declared war on us. How can WE declare a cease fire? It must be recipracated, and I don't see it.

    Having said that I will stand down. i hope Sen. obama knows what he's doing. Hopefully he is not castrating his movment.Somebody's got to fight the propogandists who mislead the elderly for power or profit and do not believe anything they say. But I do it not out of respect to clinton or her republcain sell-out bobble heads. It is not out of fear of the fascist gop. I will stand down out of respect for obama and his message. for now. I reserve the right to resume if the other side never recipracates. Which should be in months if not weeks. Eventually somebody's got to fight the gate keepers.

    Peace and good luck salon regulars. Sorry to those I offened or hurt yoru precious feelings. and to joan. I just think you people realize the severity of the vote this year.
