As a supporter of Senator Obama, I’d like to thank Senator Clinton and all of her supporters. This primary has been fairly acrimonious, I have maintained from the start that the most important thing in all of this is what happens to our country in the next four years. EITHER of the candidates from the Democratic Party this year could do a great job as president.

It’s unfortunate that the year the Democrats finally field a good candidate that makes people WANT to vote for them rather than feel OBLIGATED to vote for them, a year where we can finally feel good about voting FOR someone rather than voting AGAINST another.. they field two of them.

I hope we can all recognize this – we have two candidates who overcame enormous odds and systematic biases (sexism and racism) to achieve tremendous gains, and to steer the national discourse about this fall. If you look at the topics the Republicans are discussing, they’re ALL topics brought up by Democrats – healthcare, the housing crisis, the economy, the war…. Where are the Republican talking points? This is happening because of our candidates, and I hope people on both sides will recognize the talents of both of these Senators.

I don’t know what Senator Clinton’s plans are going forward from here, but I’d think she’d make a great Secretary of State. I think her experience with foreign governments and political savvy could be very beneficial in healing the numerous rifts the current idiot has created in the last four years, and I think she’d be a huge asset in trying to work on the Middle East peace process. However, staying in the Senate to work on universal health care with the next administration might be more along the lines of what she’s thinking. No matter what happens, she is a huge asset to the Democrats both in the next four years and beyond, and I thank her for her service.
