Since January 3rd the Democratic party has been experiencing the most historic primary season of this nations 230+ years. A black man and a white woman vying for the most delegates to award them the parties presidential nomination. Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton debating, campaigning, promoting, etc. From Baracks surprising win in Iowa to Hilary's most recent victory in Puerto Rico this primary season has gone on for as long as possible. However today, *today*, are the last two primaries in South Dakota and Montana and after they are finalized Super Delegates are being urged to reveal who they are supporting. If all goes well by this time tomorrow this 5 month fight can finally be over. Barack Obama can finally start the campaign for president against John McCain. It is almost over, and I will be live blogging everything and anything of importance that happens today.
