How Can I Miss You When You Won't Leave

I think that Barack Obama is singing that country song, "How can I miss you when you won't leave." He is, at this hour, 37 delegates from the Democratic nomination. She is 198 delegates away with less than enough delegates to make up the difference. She lost and now its her time to be gracious and back up her words that she is in this for the American people. That the "big picture" is a Democrat in the White House. The historic news agency AP was reporting early this morning that she would concede the nomination tonight, paving the way for Obama to announce his victory in the same Minnesota arena where John McCain will accept the Republican nomination later this summer.

It would appear that Hillary Clinton is going to take the low road of raining on the Obama parade. This is not a fighter but a sore loser. America had a wealth or reservoir of sympathy after 9/11 but Bush, with ill guided policies used up that surplus of empathy. It may not be a totally fair comparison but Hillary is using up her wealth of respect for all that she as accomplished in the same way by not being a gracious loser.

I say again, "How can we miss you when you won't leave."
