Now, I understand, their is a factor called "Real life" that impacts the day-to-day events on a message board, but it's pretty revealing that those who were so very sure this thing would go to Clinton found something else to do with their down time than visit this site.

This is harbinger of things to come. Weeks on weeks of trash, and then when a little thing called "actual people" making "actual votes" things will quiet down.

We are witnessing an end to an age of incredbily nasty, petty politics, folks.

And it's just in time, because this country has a lot of work to do.

I think you'll be getting a dose of "real life" "real soon," focal. Obama got 90% of the black vote, true. (They are about 13% to 15% of the population nationally) And he gets the elitist liberal votes. BUT he does NOT get the blue collar white vote and that would be necessary for him to even have a chance in the general election. I think you'll see a lot of those switching to McCain (seeing as how he's a semi Democrat anyway). Either that or they'll stay home. Either way, Obama looses.
