I just had a thought: for all of Hillary Clinton’s braggadocio abouthaving 18 million committed supporters, does anybody really believethat if there were a national primary held today, she would win morevotes than Barack Obama? There isn’t a single piece of evidence thatsuggests she would. (Unless, of course, McCain supporters were allowedto vote.) And in fact, voters states that she won in February, likeCalifornia and New Jersey, now support Barack Obama. She knows this;it’s a fact.
But this isn’t about her — it’s about Barack Obama, and he is the nominee of the Democratic Party. The media will continue to sputter forth about Hillary Clinton, but numbers are numbers, and facts are facts, and he’s got both on his side. He’s the nominee, his victory was historic, and it can’t be taken away from him.
My uncle just wrote me a message saying that for Barack, winning over Hillary Clinton’s supporters will be a test of his leadership, and that if he is the leader we think he is, he will be successful. I think my uncle has got it absolutely right, and like him, I think Barack will rise to the occasion. And in November, he’s going to clean John McCain’s clock, and that’s the most important thing of all.
