I really want to get fired up for the November general election in our country. I want to become passionate about the issues that are important to me. I want to be able to volunteer for the candidate that I feel will be the best leader for our nation. But right now, my emotional level is less than zero for any of the candidates or even any of the issues.
First, I want Hillary Clinton to bow out with grace and class from the democratic primary season. I watch NBC Nightly News. I saw Tim Russert get out his white board and show us the MATHEMATICAL IMPOSSIBILITY that it is for Senator Clinton to win the Democratic nomination. I’ve accepted that there will not be a woman in the white house at this time, but it’s been 40 years since Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated for us to get where we are today (which actually isn’t saying much), so I’m hopeful that it won’t take another 40 years to get another strong female candidate to run for president. Senator Clinton, it’s over. Please show the young women of this nation, what it means to be a leader who can put what’s best for the nation above what might be best for ones self. Senator Clinton, I want to be inspired by how you end this process. I don’t want the process to end in bickering or delegate swapping, I would love you to hold your head high and say to the American people that you ran a good race, but that in the end Senator Obama had the votes and therefore he deserves the party’s UNITED support. (Ok, that’s just what I think! Phew!!)
