So the final votes have been cast, and I have the advantage of being awake six hours before the East Coast. The last two primaries went as expected as Obama took Montana, and Clinton took South Dakota. The counts of delegates I've read show Obama with enough to clinch the nomination.
Now Clinton could argue that Obama only has enough when you count his super delegates, and that they can still change their minds, but I hope she won't. It is really and truly time to call it a day. Time to do what she said she would do and get out there and rally the troops for Obama.
I think the US has the best opportunity it's had in many years to really shake up Washington. Democrats could take a larger majority of Congress, and we could have a Democratic president, and maybe, just maybe we could get some things done.
But McCain will not be easy to beat. He is quick on his feet and changes his political position based on who he's talking to. When he speaks, most people hear what they want to hear. This is evidenced by the fact that some democrats still see him as a viable candidate.
So we need every gun in the arsenal firing. It's time for Clinton to admit that her campaign is over and that what's best for the party is her campaigning for the party. We need to get Obama a running mate, and get him full force into the field. He's got to shore up support in key democratic strongholds, and then get out there and destroy the republican ones.
It's game time.
