He launched his campaign from the same spot A. Lincoln launched his. I am sure he is smiling where ever he is.

Homer has as much sense as Obama also. Look how he ran Springfield when he was mayor.

It's time . . . Bush library.

Let's not compare a double-A ballplayer to a hall of famer just yet. Obama has a very steep hill to climb before he reaches the status of one President Lincoln.

Agree, but America just took a step that has not been seen since JFK or maybe even A. Lincoln. I actually supported Clinton. But this just feels great. The first presidential primary to have been won by a black American. Amazing. We are living part of history. Blog--please don't stop this thread.

Once again fabricating info like most democrats....

Jesse Sr. First African American to win primary....

Lincoln was a republican....

Good for politics with the turnout....we will see in... I think all candidates have major weaknesses....hopefully someone will rise up...

Not to mention Barack never spent much time in Springfield, he was campaigning for Congress....
