So obama won the democrats then?
Not yet... But its pretty clear he's going to, and everyone seems to think that by Tuesday, he'll finally have enough pledged votes to do it. About goddamn time.
According to multiple news outlets, he's got enough delegates now, so he's the nominee. Now everyone is waiting for Hil-Rod to gracefully bow out and start pining for the VP nod. This, of course, kills my "Hillary's agenda" theory of a few posts ago, so I'll just go ahead and admit that I have no fucking idea what I'm talking about. Oh, and Hillary still sucks.
Right you guys are!

Now the party really needs to pull together. Unfortunately, Clinton doesn't seem to be willing to help in that process
"Clinton, however, signalled she was not yet ready to hand her army of supporters over to her rival, congratulating him on an "extraordinary" race but refusing to formally conceding defeat.
"Now the question is, where do we go from here, and given how far we've come and where we need to go as a party, it's a question I don't take lightly," Clinton said.
"This has been a long campaign, and I will be making no decisions tonight," she said, in an eloquent speech framing her never-say-die campaign, but hinting she still believed she was the best potential president."
I was never one of those people who disliked Clinton. Over the past few months, I decided that I liked Obama more, but I wouldn't have been upset if she had won. Now she's just pissing me off. Its been clear she wasn't going to win for a good long while, but she continually weakens the party by refusing to entertain the prospect of stepping down, even when
Obama has secured the nomination. This was her night to make a gracious speech, admit defeat and help mend the party, and in the process, perhaps become vice president. Instead her response was petty and delusional, and its quite disappointing. [/i]
