I wish I was as classy as Mrs. Rodham-Clinton, but PC Im not. After months of her opposition - Reps & Media and sadly Dems - announcing her imminent demise - Yesterday was finally a very, very sad day for Americans.

But, yeah - congrats -

I just can't wait to vote for a funny looking man who people feel it's important that it appears he's a "nice guy"....Hey wait does that sound familiar???? Charisma equals electible again?

But vote for him I will, because - it's back to - he's got to be somewhat better than the alternative and (hopefully) he will drag a bunch of Dem's in with him... But the excitment is gone.

Once he's elected (Hopefully after and not before) and all the momentum of his young and upper crust supporters disappears - because the kids and snooty don't have much attention span - the experienced (aka uncharismatic) who also supported him will do all the work - as usual - with little attention or fanfare or thanks.

But hey he has a young daughter - maybe we'll get to have another presidential daughter wedding to enjoy - Now that's exciting- W :roll: W!

An excerpt from Hillary's speech tonight:
I entered this race because I have an old-fashioned conviction: that public service is about helping people solve their problems and live their dreams. I’ve had every opportunity and blessing in my own life – and I want the same for all Americans. Until that day comes, you will always find me on the front lines of democracy – fighting for the future.

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 the next President of the United States.

Today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run. I endorse him, and throw my full support behind him. And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me.

I have served in the Senate with him for four years. I have been in this campaign with him for 16 months. I have stood on the stage and gone toe-to-toe with him in 22 debates. I have had a front row seat to his candidacy, and I have seen his strength and determination, his grace and his grit.

In his own life, Barack Obama has lived the American Dream. As a community organizer, in the state senate, as a United States Senator - he has dedicated himself to ensuring the dream is realized. And in this campaign, he has inspired so many to become involved in the democratic process and invested in our common future.

Now when I started this race, I intended to win back the White House, and make sure we have a president who puts our country back on the path to peace, prosperity, and progress. And that's exactly what we're going to do by ensuring that Barack Obama walks through the doors of the Oval Office on January 20, 2009.
