It's not over yet, by any stretch of the imagination.

Obama might not be the Dem nominee, nevermind President..which ya'll are acting like he just won!

Maybe you don't understand what that means, being Canadian and all

14. I probably understand America more than you, eh?
So, fuck off with the "Canadian" bullshit.

If you're not able to admit the simple truth that tonight does not mean Obama is the Dem candidate then just hit the road HOSER, eh?

EH?

2. I am an Edwards supporter, but I do find it remarkable that Obama took Iowa
since Iowa is like 92% Caucasian. That in itself is something to celebrate.

13. Edwards is a progressive ... Obama is a semi-progressive
That's why I said 'semi' -- better Obama than Hillary, imo.

7. It's significant: Iowa is mostly rural, 95% white state...
whether or not Obama eventually wins the nomination, it shows a black presidential candidate can be viable in an overwhelmingly white group. That is a big deal for the United States.

10. As Fineman said, Obama is a phenomenon, he just is
The win is incredible. The speech was one of the greats in history. I'm amazed any Democrat isn't flying high.
