Today is a difficult day for Clinton supporters. For over 17 million voters it is the end for their candidate, for another 17 million voters it is only the beginning.
To many men and women Hillary Rodham Clinton represents more than just another candidate vying for power, more than just a woman with an actual chance to attain the highest office in the land. For many Hillary Rodham Clinton is the fighter in us. Her story is the story of so many who have fought so hard, who have worked twice as hard, who have stood up and pushed forward.
It is now up to the supporters of both campaigns to unify the Democratic Party. Both sides need to hold out a hand and help bring the 17 million men and women who voted for Hillary Clinton into a Democratic Party that is to be lead by Barack Obama.
Many Clinton supporters are unsure, not because Obama is somehow unfit to lead the Democratic Party but because some Obama supporters have been quite vicious when it comes to Hillary Clinton.
F*&k you Pennsylvania! or F*&k you West Virginia! on the front page of Reddit every time Clinton takes a state does not help. Neither did the calls to push her out of the race before every Democrat had the opportunity to vote.
It is time to put away the gloves and put this viciousness and anger behind. This is a historic day. Barack Obama is about to become the first African-American in the history of the United States of America to lead the Democratic Party and maybe even the country.
