Right here!
Obama did take down the Clintonista wing of the party. A "token" of the Democratic Party could not do that. A "token" would not be allowed to do that.

No he didn't - the Democratic party took them down. Look at all the staunch liberals who fell in line with Obama. They abondoned Clinton completely.

The Democratic Party is a big enough tent with enough factions and wings and he emerged the victor. The grassroots and web were set ablaze, and the voters spoke. What matters most to me is the fact that he beat her. I'm personally actually quite glad that Clinton isn't up against McCain. I'm not into alternating dynasties in the White House.

I don't think they abandoned Clinton at all. It was a pretty close and heated race. And she remains one of the most prominent and influential politicians alive. In Washington, get on her bad side at one's own peril. She's actually on track to maybe becoming the most powerful Democrat in the Senate one day. I'm certain she will run for the White House again, especially if McCain wins.

Take a step back. Assume Obama stuck with his original statement about not being experienced enough - assume he never ran in the first place. Who would be the presumtive nominees for both parties?

Your wrong, Obama is where he's at today due to the affirmative action attitude of democrats.

We'll never be able to decide this, so suffice it to say, we agree to disagree?

Why do you have to bring affirmative action into this? What makes you believe he didn't get where he is with hard work and dedication?

Your wrong. Obama is where he is today b/c of a speech he made 4 years ago.
