 | May 20, 2008 is Nomination Day for Barack Obama |
CBS News reports that on May 20, 2008 Barack Obama will declare victory in the race to the Democratic presidential nomination. It is a fitting day for him to do so, since on that day he will have gained a majority of all the pledged delegates to be gained from all the Democratic Party primaries and caucuses. By that day he will also have gained a majority of committed superdelegates as well.
I don’t exactly know what to call it. Victory Day? Literally so, but a bit sportish, like it was a game. How about Nomination Day? I know it’s not literally the day he will be nominated, but it is the day he will have secured the nomination.
If you have a better idea for the name of the day, share it in the comments!
Whatever you call it, 5-20-08 will be a historic day.

It is the day when sexism wins over racism. It is a day the guys can say, boy, did we put that _________ Hillary in her place. But it is also a shameful day and a day filled with many traitors and many corrupt people. Wake up America; shame on the women who failed to support Hillary. In 232 years, we had a chance and you blew it. Don’t wine about your low salaries or anything you don’t have anymore. When the Rezko trial comes back with guilty verdicts (unless the jury has been bought), you will see what you have done.

Apparently, it is the day when Bev can put words in other people’s mouths. Those certainly aren’t my motivations. I would have voted for Hillary Clinton if she didn’t campaign negatively, if she didn’t vote to start a war, if she didn’t persist until last summer in defending the decision to go to war, if she didn’t vote to shut down free speech, if she didn’t pander at religious debates, if she hadn’t had a worse record of keeping her promises regarding votes on electronic surveillance… I can go on and on.
What about all the “guys” who voted for Hillary Clinton? Will they say your line under their breaths too?
And is that all politics is, that women should vote for women? How is that different than the idea you are so upset about, that men should vote for men? Should white people vote for white people?
You’re angry, I get that. But you’re not being consistent.

Don’t let Mrs Clinton steal the nomination!Many democrats have endorsed Obama.They know what Mrs Clinton is really like and Obama is better for America.The media is once again using phony polls to brainwash people into believing nobody has a chance against Clinton.Nobody polled me and I do not trust Mrs Clinton at all.I know she will lie and play any dirty trick to win.She only ran for president for her own glory.If she is picked for president or vice president I will show no support for the democrats.The republicans won’t have Jeb Bush on their ticket.Why do the democrats need a Clinton on the ticket.If the democrats really want change stop electing the same old Clintons and pick new better leaders.
