I do not see the Clintons giving up the fight until the lady in the pantsuit sings. I see the party hopelessly divided based on things that at the end of the day are meaningless. If you hope to oust the Repugs (i got this phrase from the blogs...cool!) in November, but at the rate you're going, the Repugs will win just like last time. I do think however that there is hope for our brothers and sisters south of the border. You have confidently campaigned a woman and a black man, to my astonishment, for the candidate of president. I don't expect to see that in Canada in my lifetime. I am proud to say that the United States has invigorated me with the hope (do I dare use the word) that things are getting better and that the sacrifices made by those who came before me were not in vain. So, I suggest both sides of the contest congratulate each other and those who participated in the process by voting for you because win or lose in November, you have changed the face of politics in your country from now on... and I salute you for it!
