Senator Clinton Suspends Campaign and Endorses Obama

Senator Hillary Clinton officially suspended her campaign today at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. In front of thousands of her supporters, Clinton thanked everyone in the room and threw her complete support behind Senator Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee for President. Her endorsement emphasized the necessity to work as hard as possible to ensure Obama's victory in November. Her speech urged her supporters to not feel discouraged, but to come together as Democrats to beat Republican John McCain in the general election. For more on the story, click here.

On a personal note, and as an Obama supporter, I would just like to thank Senator Clinton for her tenacity throughout the campaign and willingness to unite the party for a Democratic victory in November. I have always liked Senator Clinton and have had the highest respect for her. She has made history throughout her campaign, setting precedents for women all over the country. I congratulate her on a hard fought race for the nomination and thank her for her support.

Although there may be discouragement and bitterness present in many of her supporters, it is necessary to understand that we are all Democrats and MUST come together to win in November. This election is too important to throw away to the Republicans and, in light of Senator Clinton's speech, we must work together to provide a better future for our country.

Private Meeting

Last night, Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton met privately for the first time since Obama had clinched the nomination for the Democratic Party.

Sources say both had decided on the time earlier in the week, but did not disclose the location. Much of the media believed it to be at the Clinton's home, but it was revealed that it actually took place at Senator Diane Feinstein's home in Whitehaven.

A joint statement was provided by both campaigns to the press:

Senator Clinton and Senator Obama met tonight and had a productive discussion about the important work that needs to be done to succeed in November.

There is little information as to what was said during their private meeting, but it seems both are looking forward to uniting the party for the general election. For more click here.

Senator Clinton plans to concede the race and endorse Barack Obama on Saturday in front of supporters at an event in Washington, DC.

Thank You South Dakota

Senator Hillary Clinton has won the South Dakota primary.

She has decided to make no decisions on whether to concede the race.

Obama Wins Montana

Senator Barack Obama is the projected winner in Montana.

He has clinched the Democratic nomination thanks to superdelegates. He is the first African American nominee for president.

Proud of Hillary

I am incredibly proud of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Her campaign for President of the United States has been record breaking and she has accomplished things no other woman has ever come close to doing. And it's not over yet.

However, with the final two states voting tonight and with uncommitted superdelegates turning the nomination over to her competitor, it looks like Senator Clinton is about to announce her exit from this historic campaign.

I am completely saddened of the treatment of Senator Clinton by the media. But that was always to be expected. What really saddens me is the way her own party started treating her like a pebble in their shoe. It will come back to haunt them.

The DNC flubbed this one. No, you can't change the rules in the middle of the game as the Clinton camp was trying to do. But you also can't punish millions of voters when it was state party leaders and legislatures who broke the rules in the first one. You certainly cannot award a candidate delegates when his or her name failed to appear on the ballet in a state.

As of right now, I have no plans of voting for president in November. I will not support McCain. I do support Obama. However, as a voter in a pretty solid blue state anyways I don't feel I need to vote for him. In a way, I can't bring myself to vote for him. It's not his fault.

My mind could be swayed should Mrs. Clinton pop up on the ticket as a running mate. Of course, everyone is saying that will never happen and that it would be a big mistake. I disagree. What better way to unite a bitterly divided party? People say "Nobody votes for VP." I disagree. Hillary could be up there as Dick Cheney's running mate and she (they) would get my vote. I will be extremely upset should the Obama camp place another woman on the ballot with them. I do not want to see the governor of Kansas on the ballot. I do not want to see another woman get something that Senator Clinton worked so hard to get simply handed to her. To me, it would be a slap in the face.

I expect the announcement to come soon. And if it doesn't, I will stand with Hillary until she chooses to leave or loses this race. But for now, I applaud Senator Hillary Clinton and the ceiling she has broken.
