Finally...

Last night, Barack Obama clinched the nomination to be the Presidential candidate of the Democratic party. This is a milestone in U.S. history, as it's the first time a black man or woman has been chosen as the nominee for either major political party.

Now the question remains, is Obama a strong enough candidate to defeat McCain in November? I would say that he seems to have more public and media support than McCain, yet the rift that has been torn across the Democratic party may create problems for Obama down the line. Many of Clinton's supporters have been quoted as saying that they would vote for John McCain come November before they would ever vote for Obama.

To me, this is the epitome of stupidity. "Our candidate didn't win, so we're going to vote for someone whose policy starkly contrasts our candidate's, rather than THE OTHER FREAKING DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE."

I think the people saying this are the same people wearing "Clinton '08" stickers on their foreheads. Gawker seems to think they belong to some strange Clinton cult. I think they might be right.
