Supporters of Obama:

Okay, you guys won. Have a little humor about it and WATCH THIS VIDEO. ;-)

Since last night I have felt possessed of the most odd -- no, creepy! -- feeling that, perhaps, President-Elect Obama will be assassinated at some point. Perhaps some of it has to do with the general perception of him as a "Black Kennedy", or the curious mix of Kennedy and MLK, Jr. (and their preceding assassinations), which he may represent to ( Read more... )

Assertion (I): If the SuperDelegates end up choosing Hillary over Obama, then many Democrats -- Blacks, especially -- will howl in anger at a circumstance where the popular vote didn't decide the day (again!), and may become extremely pissed-off. Blacks will cite racism, after a black man was in the lead, and STILL got put behind a white woman. "Go ( Read more... )
