Or you could argue that he would have won by an even bigger margin if he had been white.

As for Hillary - well, I like her. But I had a feeling that she wouldn't get the Democratic ticket. She...

If it did happen, Biden would become the President. That is the process, and a new VP would have to be picked.

Maybe, but not exclusively. Obama, after all, took most of the white vote as well. Now, I'm sure that some black people voted for Obama purely because he is black. But I'm also sure that plenty of...

You must be crazy! She cost the GOP points in this election. She has never had her eye on being VP - she wanted the top job. She will go for it in 2012 - but my prediction is that she won't even...

You're so right. People who call Obama a socialist either don't know what 'socialist' means, or haven't actually looked at what Obama stands for and believes in.

Yes, but all that means is that so far they have won one state each. McCain has won Kentucky (which he was always going to win), which has 8 electoral votes.
