From an interview with Clinton supporter and committed superdelegate Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver:

"If I had to make a prediction right now, I'd say Barack Obama is going to be the next president...I will be stunned if he's not the next president of the United States."

If it can't be Hillary, I would love it to be Obama. But racist views have not died out in the US, and I fear that we will be looking at a President McCain. Too many white guys do not want to give up the power to a black guy or a white woman for that matter.

I wish it weren't true, but if you talk to every day folks, you come to understand that the USA is not color blind. It is coming, but I doubt that it is here now.
