Yes, I thought I should make one as well. Barack has won the Nomination or.....will once you know what happens. All that is left is for Hillary to take a deep breath and start anew. I'd just ask everyone to give her a little time. She is a fighter and hardheaded. She isn't very good at this. Actually, she never has had to do "this" so I am sure she is trying to find her way.

Will she concede? Surely. Will she push behind Barack? Assuredly. Will her supporters do the same? Yes.  Will it always be nice and quiet and fun? No.  Will we still complain and ask questions and try to have our way? Yes. Will your argue back? I hope so.....

But this isn't about her it is about me. I wanted to just say it was a great fight and I appreciate everyone on this site. You may not believe it but it is true. If I hurt anyone or said anything that caused anyone harm I do apologize. It was not my intention. As I have said elsewhere I am a terrible loser. I don't do it well. And, when I am equally for something I am either ALL in or not at all.

I, for one will work hard to try and make sure Barack becomes the next President because I do know what is at stake. We cannot allow another Republican to occupy the White House. We must increase majorities in both Houses of Congress. We have to be forceful in our leadership of this country as Democrats. We've let it go to fallow far too long now. We have a History. A great History of Progress and Triumph. We need to reclaim that history once again and rescue this country from the hands that it is in now. We need to do this not just for us but for the World. There are many many things that need to be done. And, President Obama is going to need all the help he can muster. There is plenty for everyone to do. Each of us has a unique role as well. It is really up to us as to how this goes. I hope that everyone will call their local precincts and make sure they become involved in the process. I urge everyone to do what they can.

As well, if you can't be giddy with excitement over what this party has accomplished this year...well you never will be. History....right here..right now.........boggles the mind. Again, you each have every right to be proud of yourselves.
Lastly, I've said it elsewhere but bears repeating. I changed my avatar to Muhammed Ali for a purpose. I hope that we can all reflect on his courage, intelligence, strength, and character in the coming months. He is, to me, the greatest American in my lifetime...maybe forever. He was unselfish in his committments to his beliefs and to his Country. He gave love and expected little in return. He won. He lost. Through it all he was the same Shining person he always was. Even in ill health he is a beacon. Lets remember, fight, fight hard, fight to win, but never give away what we truely hold as our own..Our own beliefs.  Again, thanks for allowing me the chance to be a part of this discussion. Now, lets go get BUSH/CHENEY and.....McCain and send them packing!!!!
