Today Hillary Clinton will give the speech of her lifetime. I have no doubt she will fully and enthusiastically endorse Barack Obama and that she will demand the same of her supporters. Any attacks she makes will be directed at John McCain, any slight will be against the Republican Party. The primary is over…
… and Republicans are licking their chops. If one more conservative pundit, editorial writer, or blogger expresses their “concern” for the unity of the Democratic Party I’ll scream. This was our fight, a family fight, and let’s face it conservatives have enough to worry about when it comes to their gaffe-ridden, flip-flopping candidate. Might I suggest they concentrate their efforts where they’re most needed?
And might I suggest we do the same? If Dems lose this year it will be by our own hand. Hillary and Barack know this. They also knew, no matter who prevailed, that their concession speech would have to be a barn burner; that the loser would have just as much responsibility for uniting the party as the winner. I firmly believe Hillary is up to the task.
Are we?
