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.

    Barack Obama hasn't "won" anything

    I fail to understand why your article says that Barack Obama "won" anything. We haven't held the convention, which will actually make that decision, and all we have so far is a thorougly flawed delegate count that continues to disenfranchise the voters of Florida and Michigan.

    While I admit that it would be ideal for the Democratic party for Barack Obama to concede his defeat to Hillary Clinton graciously, it appears at this point that he will stop at nothing to game the system in his favor.

    Personally, I find this behavior repugnant. It was bad enough when George Bush stole the election in 2000. Watching Barack Obama try to do it in 2008 is just as ugly.
