Groundbreaking took place earlier today outside Chicago for the Barack Obama Presidential Library, just three years after the one-time Illinois Senator completed two terms in office as America's first African-American President.
In a related story, former New York Senator Hillary Clinton announced she has not conceded the 2008 Democratic Primary race just yet, and will be meeting with her advisers and other party leaders later this week to see how the groundbreaking will affect her future role in the party, and her future personally in politics.

Obama crosses the Potomac, stakes claim to all territory.....
Well, the Virginia primary that actually mattered is done and Barack Obama not only won, but apparently made some inroads into Hillary Clinton country in terms of the support he received with certain population segments.
Nearly nine of ten black voters went to Obama, while he won among white voters by 14 in an ABC News exit poll. 60 percent of white women went for Hillary, but that's down from past primaries and is her strongest voter base. Obama cuts into that even by several percent as he has apparently begun to do, and Clinton is in huge trouble.
There are plenty of "reasons" (excuses?) why Clinton has lost eight in a row. Read here as part of this article breaks down how Obama won where....well, you let the story say what the Clinton campaign said, then judge for yourself.
Next up is Wisconsin and Hawaii, next Tuesday. Brett Favre and the late Don Ho. Clinton has already conceded them, showing her campaign strategy is to live in Texas and Ohio until March 4th.
But there was another "inevitable" candidate for 2008 who did something similar to this, waiting for Florida to be his coming out party. But it ended up being "waterloo" for Rudy Guliani.
Does Hillary really want all the headlines for the next three weeks to talk about how she's "pinning her hopes" by setting up a "firewall"? Doesn't sound like optimism or momentum to me.
