This thing is even MORE over

The democratic primary has been over for a long time now, but people have yet to get that point across to the Clinton campaign. Their current goal is to catch Barack in the popular vote (not including the caucus states for reasons that make sense only to them), but being 700,000 votes behind with only a few contests to go makes even that goal almost unattainable. And now, today huge news from the democratic leadership. Governor Bill Richardson has officially endorsed Sen. Obama. Those of you who have talked with me about vice presidential speculation know that I've always thought he would be Sen. Obama's vice presidential candidate. As the most prominent Hispanic politician in the democratic party he could shore up democratic support among the Hispanic population. Also he served as energy secretary under Bill Clinton and as ambassador to the UN. I think he would have been an excellent presidential candidate, but he will be a stellar vice president too. What is immediately relevant though is that one of the most important superdelegates left undecided has committed to Sen. Obama, which will definitely work to sway more superdelegates as well as Hispanic voters in the few remaining states. Hillary, you ran a good campaign (for the most part), and I would have whole-heartedly supported you had you become the nominee. But it's time to face the facts and start to help the party instead of threatening to tear it down.
