  • It will end with the best candidate winning - Barack Obama

    [Read the article: How will it all end?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    In the past seven days Barack Obama has won primaries or caucuses in eighteen states and with projected wins this week in Virginia and Maryland he will have won twenty States in eight days. He was won all over the country and in States with less than 10% African American population such as Nebraska, Maine, and North Dakota, and States such as Washington and Minnesota with very few African Americans. His appeal to all Americans of all colors and religions and all parts of the coutnry is vast - and is growing. The Clinton's win-at-all costs mean spirited campaign of the politics of personal destruction and tearing down your opponent with rumors, lies, innunendos, and race baiting is wearing on the public. Clinton may be holding her base but the more the voters get to know Barack Obama he is expanding his. The Clintons will stop at nothing to destroy this man even of it means destroying the Democratic party's chances of regaining the White House. Obama is running a campaign of hope, change, inspiration and working together to solve our nations problems while the Clinton's are running a campaign of tearing their opponents apart. The American people are smarter than the Clinton's think and all their mud slingling and dirty campaigning is not going to stop Obama. The American voters see thru what the Clinton's are doing and are responding in kind with their most powerful weapon - their votes!

    If she loves our country as much as she says she does and is not just obsessed with being President, Hillary should return to the Senate, where she would essentially be able to maintain her seat for the rest of her life, and she should take a page from the life of Ted Kennedy. Senator Kennedy deeply wanted to be President, but he realized that was not in the cards. Love him or hate him, the fact remains that in the last forty-five years no other senator has had more legislation passed for children, minorities, healthcare, women, the environment, the disabled, the poor or for education than Ted Kennedy. Being President is not everything, Hillary, not if you truly do care for those you say you care about.
