I know quite a few of the Obama supporters here on DU loathe Hillary but I am one of those Hillary supporters that truly on an emotional level supported her and was thrilled to vote for her in the primary. Last night was a difficult night for me but this morning I am trying to look ahead. I guess I am hoping that some Obama supporters here will for a moment stop and think about their personal feelings for Obama on an emotional and gut level, politics aside, and with that understanding and empathy perhaps we could then begin to finally come together. It is done by extending a warm and friendly hand to those Hillary supporters who are truly feeling the loss deeply. This was a hard fought primary season as it should be - to become the democratic candidate for POTUS should not be easy.
And, I, as a Hillary supporter am in turn sincerely extending a congratulatory hand to all the DU Obama supporters with the hope that this gesture will be accepted without any of the inflammatory posts in return because of whom I support.
For those Hillary supporters that have fought the good fight, I believe Hillary will go on but that the rhetoric of the campaign will be lightened and she will support the Dem nominee in the end. And as she has said she will do and has called upon her supporters to do should she not receive the nomination, I will also support the Dem nominee. I will do so for the simplest of reasons summed up in three words: The Supreme Court.
Now let's begin to move on and beat McCain and take back the White House!
Once again a sincere congratulations to the Obama supporters.
