We have to move towards ending this thing, tonight's verdict is clear, Obama has won
Hillary Clinton has run as tough and tenacious of a campaign as anyone we've ever seen. She has many justified and heartfelt supporters. No one is trying to take anything away from her. She will continue to play an important part, not only in this election but in the Democratic Party for years to come. This will begin almost immediately as she will effectively control the Democratic legislative agenda as the Senate Majority Leader.
But it is time to at least consider coming together around the Party's eventual nominee: Barack Obama.
Any thoughts on how to helpfully do this I'm sure would be welcome. Perhaps a prominent Clinton supporter, such as Rendell, Strickland or Bayh, can be put on the ticket as Vice President.
But it's time to (begin) coalescing around our nominee, Barack Obama and focusing on beating the Republican agenda and John McCain. The issues are too important this time around. I need not remind anyone of this disasterous war in Iraq, growing tensions with Iran, a teetering economy, health care and a broken political system. We must begin to get Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, elected.
