It's Official Obama Is The Nominee
Wednesday, June 04, 2008

Last nite Obama reached the new delegate milestone of 2118 and is now the Democratic nominee. This is historic on many levels, for starters Obama is the first black candidate, 2nd he defeated the most powerful and feared political machine in modern day politics and 3rd he did it without D.C. insiders. Obama has reshaped politics for years to come. He has shown that you don't need to always go negative, its ok to embrace the grassroots and don't underestimate the will of the people.

Hillary ran her campaign as the chosen one and had no plan after Super Tuesday. In her mind the nomination was hers and the rest of the primaries were just little plays that she had to smile and sit thru. She never saw Obama coming as did many others and was caught off guard. Poor planning on her part and not a trait I want my president to possess.

Now Hillary is yet to concede, maybe she is just letting things rest for a couple days and will do so by the end of the week. Part of me thinks this is the case while the other part knows how greedy and power hungry the Clinton's are and have no qualms about taking it to the convention. Its going to be an interesting summer and if the Clinton's try to sabotage Obama'scandidacy, there will be hell to pay.

Congrats to Obama for doing the unthinkable and to the superdelegates for not bowing to the will of the Clintons. Allowing a small segment of the party to dictate the nominee is wrong and one that would have only hurt in the long run.....

   I think there's a lot of democrats that are anguishing over the way the Clintons have done this at the end. I really liked them and voted for Bill twice but they're doing a disservice to the party. I think they'll come around too but really - their supporters voting for McCain?? I can't understand that at all. Barack's got the money to go all the way and I think he'll organize well and reach out to a lot of not only Hillary supporters but McCain ones as well. Did you see the McCain speech last night?! Compare that to the Obama speech. Barack's on a whole other plane. People will respond to that and get excited about him.

   The McCain speech was pathetic, no life and even the Mac Attack signs couldn't wake up the event. This will be the norm and is why McCain wants townhall meetings. He can't generate a crowd on his own and needs Obama to bring the people. Everyone talks about how good McCain is when he is off script but many of his gaffes have occurred during these times.
   
   The majority of Hillary's supporters will accept Obama but those who don't screw em, let them go vote for McCain. I believe Obama has broadened his coalition enough to lose those votes and still prevail.
