Each Candidate To Declare Self Winner Tomorrow [Children, All Of Them]
Ooh, won't tomorrow be fun! Obama, of course, is going to half-declare himself the winner, as his campaign predicts it will have the majority of pledged delegates following Kentucky and Oregon's primaries. He'll be spending the night in Iowa, where he started his Quest. (Circle of Life and all…
