I don't know about that. Still have a ways to go until this election is officially decided.

I don't know why, but it seems like all of this was completely orchestrated. If this was all going to happen anyway, why didn't they just let New York go first? For drama purposes? Either way, unless something happens between now and the elections, it's set in stone - Barrack Obama is the Democratic Nominee and most likely, the President of the United States.

Hilary did do what was right in the end. I never thought I'd see the day when an African American would be nominated as President. History is being written. Either way this Presidential race will be in the history books.

Yes, I thought it was a very classy move by Hilary Clinton. My respect for her shot sky high when she did that...not to mention her speech last night.
On CNN, they showed two black men crying after the announcement. It brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful day for the black community and in my opinion, long overdue.
I know that many on ATS do not trust Obama, but I am choosing to put my faith in him. Now, if Bush will just leave office.
I'm sure there are some people voting for Obama because he's the latest craze as you put it. I don't know what to expect from either McCain or Obama. They talk so much about what they would do if they were President and I just don't believe anything they say because all the talk is just to get themselves into the White House and after that they do what they want.

Although I do not like Hillary, one has to give the Senator her due. I'm sure she will get a cozy, yet important job elsewhere to continue her political career.
As far as "history being made", I really hope that isn't the only reason people will be voting for him. Perhaps you know all of his policies and stances, but 9 times out of 10 when I talk to an Obama supporter, they say they're voting for him either because of the color of his skin or because he's the latest craze.

jetxnet, I went to that site you posted and wish I hadn't. I don't believe a word of it. It was probably put up by some ignorant racist.

You didn't read it then Zippy. The information there has been thoroughly researched and validated in more than one way.
I know you're drinking the Kool-aid, but that's the antidote.
You have to read it though.
I know you don't want to believe your messiah is that corrupt, more than any and most others, but you must be objective and not subjective.

Careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Let's hope not in this case.
Obama is Jimmy Carter II but on Marxist Steroids.

I assure you he is not my messiah. In fact, I still have my doubts about him. Truthfully, deep down, I have my suspicions that the whole thing is rigged and that both candidates could very well be bought and paid for.
My first statements stem from my hope that he could possibly be a good, honest man and what this country needs. But I think McCain is a war monger and no way will I vote for him. I want this country out of the war and I want us to mind our own business. McCain will keep us in a war indefinetely.
edited to add: I am thrilled for the black community. I just hope, for their sake and ours, that he is what he says he is.
Truthfully, I am desperate to find someone to believe in. I contributed to Ron Pauls cause, but unfortunately that won't help much.
