May I be so bold as to suggest that we remember that defeating Sen. McCain is our objective?

Barack has won by every legitimate metric, and he's done so
with great integrity.  If Hilary were winning the popular
vote, there would be no “if” in the statement.    Hilary’s
supporters should ask themselves, “What's the rational behind,
and benefit of Hilary continuing her campaign?” that is
currently predominately serving to put her further in debt,
divide the country further, offend and alienate
African-Americans, invoke fear and prejudice, etc.  Talk about
an appetite for destruction…hers is insatiable!  How can she
claim to balance our country’s budget, when she can’t balance
her own?  How can she claim to bring our troops home from a
failed war that should not have been authorized in the first
place, when she can’t even remove herself from a destructive,
and failed campaign even long after it’s been clear that she
cannot win by current standards to which she agreed?

Why does she deserve the nomination more than Barack - because
there are still some racists in the world, or because she’s
proven she can hold an indefinite position as “the underdog”? 
 Furthermore, Barack has held up rather well against the
“right-wing attack machine”, in spite of her biased warnings
that he couldn’t do so.  Her “experience” argument doesn’t
hold up either: failed healthcare plan, vote for Iraq War,
Wal-Mart board member, “Bosnia lie”, scandal baggage, dirty
campaigning, divisive politics, etc.  Yes, Hilary has plenty
of legitimate, helpful experience in her arsenal as well, but
so does Barack.  There are benefits and drawbacks to each of
them.  Neither is perfect.  Moreover, her claim that she’s the
stronger candidate isn’t supported by her failed campaign, and
she can’t guarantee a democratic victory any more than Barack
can.  We live in an age where claims can be easily verified;
therefore, to overstate one’s experience, position, or
whatnot, speaks to the arrogance, if not the delusions, of the
perpetrator.  I doubt if anyone has those characteristics on
her list as desirable for The President of the United States
to have.  

Hilary has lost the race, and should gracefully concede rather
than try to bend and break the rules to fit her.  She’s making
this a loss, really.  It could be a “win, win”, if she could
muster up some integrity and humility.  Why is it OK for her
to say that Barack should be denied equal opportunity on the
basis of his race, and then add insult to injury by
simultaneously complaining that she’s not getting a fair shot
because she’s a woman?  If she has so much pull with her
supporters, and she believes in unity, then why doesn’t she
throw her support behind Barack, the victor, who has won “fair
and square”?  

I was a strong Hilary supporter until she adopted this “by any
means necessary” approach, and until I witnessed the integrity
with which Barack has run his campaign.  The means do not
necessarily justify the end, and “by any means necessary” is
not the same as “fighting a good fight”.  Also, I prefer to go
with the person who says, “Yes we can!” as opposed to the
person who says, “That’s just the way it is!”

Barack leads by example.  Forget all that “guilt by
association” and “he’s just a speech” non-sense!  “The proof
is in the pudding” and “actions speak louder than words”.  For
the record: When he had the opportunity to make more money by
working for corporations, he chose to work as a community
organizer instead; He spoke out against the Iraq War from the
beginning, and continues to do so; He has sponsored hundreds
of Bills, a great many of which were passed into law, and
championed numerous causes to help eliminate poverty, fight
crime, protect human rights, reform healthcare, maintain a
balanced economy, assist veterans, bring accountability to
government, etc.; He continues to run a successful, clean, and
respectful campaign; He reaches out to ALL people; He has the
support of people across the board, including working-class
whites, and not just blacks. Indeed, his experience rivals, if
not trumps Hilary’s.
 
Additionally, Barack’s insight from his diverse ethnic
background, and exposure to different cultures can only serve
as leverage to help bridge our differences.  His background is
also a marvelous demonstration of what America is all about. 
To suggest that Barack is anything other than what he
exemplifies, is malarkey, and only reveals the nature of the
accuser.  I don’t think Hilary is evil, or Barack is a saint. 
I just know that the race is over, and Barack has earned the
nomination.  It’s time to move forward accordingly.  Hilary
should cease her self-serving, divisive, and irresponsible
campaign, and redeem her legacy, by putting forth every effort
to get Barack elected as the next President of The United
States of America.  There is no guarantee that he will win in
the general election, but again, he has earned the right to
compete as the democratic nominee.  Based on his brilliant
performance thus far, I have no doubt that Barack is ready to
lead our great country, and I have great faith that America
will hold true to its creed as well, by voting, “Yes we can!”
at the ballot box!
