Today I'm pissed - tomorrow I'll work on unity.......

It's over - done, finished. For the love of God, let it be over!

First - we have a nominee. We've had one since last night 9:00p.m

Congratulation to Barack Obama for accomplishing, the seemingly, impossible!

He wins even when he loses - as South Dakota has shown last night.

Hillary wins South Dakota and in the spirit of her Campaign - no, I think I will make no decision today concerning congratulations of any kind!


Yesterday when the AP reported, although, mistakenly, that Hillary will acknowledge, if not concede, to Barack if he reaches the number of 2118 - I roused myself one more time and gave Hillary the benefit of the doubt.

When the report came out that the AP had made a mistake, I thought - ok, no problem - Hillary, in the end, will do the right thing, she will have enough respect for herself, our Party and the American People to do what needs to be done. She will, in the end, rouse herself, hold her head high, smile and be gracious. She will, in the end, reach way down, stiffen her backbone and with dignity do what so many democratic Candidates had to do and have done.

When the report came out that Hillary is open to the VP slot I grew a little alarmed, but not unduly so. Still I believed that she deserved the benefit of the doubt - one more time.
My concern grew when the media, instead of playing up the impending nomination of the first African American in American History, decided to play up Hillary's potential vying for the number two spot.
Yet, still, I held on to the belief that Hillary, in the end, will garner the necessary grace to do what she must.

When Barack went over the top for the nomination seconds after the South Dakota Polls closed - I was slightly appalled that, while the Media acknowledged it, the question of Hillary as VP dominated the discussions and speculations ran rampant.

When Hillary gave her speech, she knew full well that Barack had not only reached, but surpassed the numbers needed to be declared the nominee for the Democratic Party.

She congratulated him on a race well run? While I didn't expect a concession - I expected an acknowledgement at the very least. It was the first time, in a long time, that I was speechless and then almost overwhelmed by a rage
I didn't think I could still muster after a Primary such as the one we just witnessed.

After all the coddling, pussyfooting and respect for Hillary's, apparently, fragile feelings and monumental ego - she acts like a spoiled child and can't even get herself together long enough to give a little credit where it is due.
The most shameful disgrace I have had the displeasure to witness in quite some time.

She will not be on Barack Obama's ticket - and she shouldn't be.
But, in the spirit of unity, which I will rouse myself to work on tomorrow - if she somehow manages to blackmail, coerce or whine herself into the VP slot - I can deal with it, I suppose, if Obama can.

But she doesn't deserve it, she hasn't earned it. She has shown extremely poor sportsmanship - unworthy of a Democrat and a woman.

Barack Obama, on the flip side, spoke about her with the highest regard, praised her accomplishment and displayed a demeanor worthy of the next President of the United States of America.

The People have chosen wisely.

And Hillary can go to hell on a sled for all I care.


Today I will stew and rant - tomorrow we will put it all behind us and start with a clean slate.

I hope Hillary will do her part!!!

1. The only thing that makes me hate Hillary is her own words.

From lying about NAFTA to last night's speech. She's the only Democrat I disrespect and hate so much. I didn't feel that way when this race started. She made that happen all on her own. The Clinton name is now worthless.
