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.

    That "Me and McCain" Quote is Appropriate

    Hillary Clinton can be John McCain's VP. The Republicans like her so much and want her to fight on. Well they can have her.

    Last night she had a chance to show some class. She failed again. She is way too self-serving a person to be our Vice-President. She tells us that she cares about the people. This is true as long as they keep their place. To Hillary "their place" is always one rung or more below her.

    One day in the near future a woman will be our President. Fortunately, it won't be Hillary Clinton.
