  @weeping for brunnhilde

  I'm looking for him to 1) recognize that Clinton got 50% of the vote and offer her the VP slot. I don't know if he'll be able to win with her, but I am absolutely certain he will not win without her. Too many of her supperter's are angry at his attacks on her and will not accept words of appeasement, they need action. If Clinton accepts, which I suspect she would, that would also constitute the ultimate endorsement of his candidacy and will sway a number of her supporter's who respect her but are not confident in him.

  2) Give us a reason to vote for him. I'm not interested in "change" and "unity", especially since his policies do not offer any real change and his unity seems to have divided the Democratic Party in ways from which we will not quickly recover. I don't care about charisma. I've seen charismatic politicians, and I wasn't impressed by their performance in the office of President. I'm not impressed by rock star rallies. I like rock concerts, but I don't want a politician/celebrity (unless it's Bono - who isn't a citizen). I have serious doubts about Obama's character and ideals. He has tolerated some egregious behaviour on the part of his campaign managers, and participated to some extent. As I have said, I'm not the one you're reaching for, but if I can be swayed then it is likely that many others can as well.
