Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination

An anonymous reader was one of many who noted that Barack Obama has claimed the Democratic nomination having secured enough delegates and super-delegates to claim victory. Of course, technically this assumes that the supers all vote as they say they will and they are free to change their minds. So no doubt we'll continue to hear debate on this subject until either the convention or Hillary steps down.

I can picture her in a press conference concurrent to Obama's inauguration saying "I'm not making any decisions tonight; I still have a few cards to play".

Leaving race out of the issue, how many republicans do you think would vote for someone named Barack Hussein Obama. A name that rings with the sounds of two recent so called enemies. Let's twist that around a bit:

Leaving gender out of the issue, how many republicans do you think would vote for someone named Hillary Rodham Clinton? A name that rings with the sounds of two recent so called enemies (Dennis Rodman is one, you figure out the other). See how stupid that sounds, troll?

Someone help me with this...

Is Obama a black man with a white mother or a white man with a black father? As a racist white male, this question has been causing me night terrors!

We will see a black female president who supports communism and is a Debian core developer, before that happens.

And high oil prices will in turn decrease consumption, which will save the planet! The neocons are actually trying to save us from ourselves, you see. It all becomes so clear now!

That doesn't make sense. That's Gandalf's line, not Saruman's. :)

I was looking for a candidate that stood for higher taxes, more government, less free trade, more social programs and was anti-defence. Thnx for letting me know!
