Republican John McCain won 55 percent of the white vote. Fully 96 percent of black voters supported Obama and constituted 13 percent of the electorate, a 2-percentage-point rise in their national turnout. As in past years, black women turned out at a higher rate than black men.Nov 5, 2008

lol.

its funny how they are closing the initiative now that the Clinton have no more political power... It's almost like all the claims that it was a front for a play-to-play were true.

Self-immolation takes serious dedication to your cause.

I think it's stupid, but I'm also impressed by it.

If you're going to do self-immolation correctly, then you have to, you know, die. It's literally in the definition of the phrase.

Ahhh didn't realize that. I didn't look at the article, just thinking of the famous pic of the monk that was shared.
