The long, hard Bataan Death March to the White House

The long, hard Bataan Death March to the White House took another step forward today with Sen. Hillary Clinton's concession today in Washington.
The way to continue our fight now, to accomplish the goals for which we stand, is to take our energy, our passion, our strength, and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama as the next president of the United States ...


Ironically it was one of her best speeches so far. It really demonstrates that had she run a competent campaign, she'd be the democratic nominee. She started this race in the lead with wide support from all democrats. Only through an incompetent campaign did she manage to loose her grasp on the nomination. It is also clear that Sen. Clinton will not just fade away and will continue to be a force to recogn with.

The thing I don't get is why so many Clinton supporters are so danged pissed at directly Obama voters. Do they think the ONLY way to vote is the way they did?

Geez, we could do without this.

I saw this first hand at the Colorado caucus. HC and her supporters have a serious since of entitlement. They resent that she actually had to work for the nomination. And Clinton exploited this notion among her supporters by crying sexism to further demonize Obama.

Its curious how reality is just ignored.
