    Yeah, it'll be nice to have the dems finally all supporting one person.
    Bitching about the little differences was getting old. Now it's time to bitch about the slightly bigger differences. Hahaha!

    Hopefully this will put people in a good mood, so when I'm asking for their signature to get Nader on the ballot, they'll be like, "No problem, my dude is a slam dunk. Peace!"


    :rolleyes: :p

    Wasn't this already done with over a month ago? I mean everyone knew Hillary wasn't going to get the nod. Any dems who wanted to unite probably already have or will just continue to have sour grapes over their guy not taking it... like there was some huge difference between the two, anyway. :p The only difference I see is that this makes what we already knew to be the case now 'official'.

    Don't mind me...continue on with your celebration. :)

    i agree, but it will be "official" now, only when it is official has history been made.

    and that is far from true about the dems already uniting! its going to take what Hillary does and says from here on to get some of her supporters to back Obama.
    that is really where the a lot of the excitement will come from. IMO.
    but whatever.

    Well that freak McCain is giving a really bad speech right now (check CNN).
    I'm expecting a good speech from Obama,he's good at the scripted stuff.

    Why are people so excited? it's just another bad politician getting the nomination right, like the only difference? This ones black.

    My dad will be happy. He put $100 on Obama and the same for McCain after the Iowa caucus, 'cause something about how long it's been since someone won the presidency without winning that state in the primaries.

    Gotta love my dad's political priorities. :rolleyes:

    It didn't seem like a 'Race'... more like getting rakes over hot bar-b-que brickets by employees from the Department of Motor Vehicles on Qualludes, if you ask me.

    As if Hillary would do anything but encourage her supporters to back Obama, seriously. What scenario can you see her doing anything but that?

    Does this mean everyone gets to say the days of racism are over???

    Historically, haven't black MEN been awarded rights (such as voting and owning land) before women, anyway? Aren't they usually are placed in positions of power before women too? I think we're just staying historically on course.

    Great! Now onto the steady race towards crushing mediocrity between McCain and Obama. :D

    im not saying she wont do that! im saying how it goes down will tell the tale.
    if she comes of the wrong way, the party will not unite like we all hope is all im saying.

    im watching. he comes off so un natural, and fake.

    i like him as a person, and respect what he has done for our country while in the service. but when he talks, he just sounds fake.

    Some People will say it's over...But for the majority of people who are not white will still know, racism is not really over and that it will be around for many years to come.

    Also we need to see (hate to point it out) if someone trys to kill Obama or not. You know, he win's and everyones like "racism is over!" 'bang' "nevermind"

    Yeah, my question was mos' def' rhetorical. I see racism everyday. Racist acts are committed and racist views are held by every ethnicity I've come across - sadly.


    So do you think it's more or less likely that an attempt will be made on his life if Clinton gets the VP spot (assuming they win)?
