A split Democratic decision

Obama won Oregon. Clinton won Kentucky. In Iowa, Obama skipped a victory lap and had gracious words for Clinton. So what's next for Democrats?

    Help me out here....

    ...Why is it necessary for Obama to be gracious and commend Hillary when Hillary has not had one nice thing to say about him? I have yet to hear her once congratulate him on a vitory in any state, or aknowledge that he would make a terrific president - the closest she comes is "he'd be better than McCain". I am sick and tired of hearing what Obama "must do" while everyone tiptoes around HRC like she's some kind of babe in the woods who must be coddled or she'll have a temper tantrum and ruin the general election. Let's face it, if she screws up Obama's chances in the general, her politcal career (in the democratic party) is toast. Once again Joan - your complete and total bias is showing...

    I'd like to hear what HRC "must do" to win back the young, black voters, and the educated please.
