Clinton Concedes, What Now?

It is officially over for the former first lady and current New York Senator Hillary Clinton. Her attempt to become the first female president in the United States has come to end. In an email to supporters she states, "On Saturday, I will extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy."

This should come as no surprise as the Democratic primaries have ended and she was behind in the delegate count. Feeling pressure from fellow Democrats she has bowed out to let Obama to assume the role of presumtive nominee. Clinton claims, "My differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans." This should serve as a reminder to Clinton supporters and delegates that McCain is the enemy and he comes no where close to sharing the ideals and beliefs of the Clinton Campaign.

Clinton fought a hard battle and for the first time in a long time, there were to qualified candidates that our country deserves to be lead by. She notes, "I will be speaking on Saturday about how together we can rally the party behind Senator Obama. The stakes are too high and the task before us too important to do otherwise. "

I agree. I supported Clinton in the March Primary in Texas. I will endorse Obama and do all that I can to see that he is the next President of the United States. Hillary Clinton, thank you for your public service and dedication/determination to become the Democratic nominee. The United States would have restored its greatness under your leadership . . . Obama shall restore it but history will not forget the historic primary that both candidates participated.
