As of this writing, I don't know what the "Grand Lady" is going to say on Tuesday. I don't know if she is going to overlook - "Never give in, Never give up" - and step aside because the media is claiming victory for you with the delegate count. However, whatever the case may be - it is just a matter of time and I will know. Frankly, I do not want for Hillary to back down because those who voted for her are the foundation of this country. You have many fine qualities and I really like that one interview where you expressed words in Michele's defense - I think it was to "lay off my wife." That was good because I am quite confident I know what she meant. On the other hand, the media is ripping Bill apart for his heartfelt adjectives in regards to the Vanity Fair article. In addition, you both have been classified as unpresidential, however I really don't like hearing a news person utter the words of "pissed off." When it gets into Webster; I will accept. What I want to say for one of Hillary's 18 plus million supporters and the same goes for Hillary in regards to you - this election is historical and like your wife - I am really proud; in fact, of both of you as well as immensely appreciative of no real mud slinging, no knives in the back, and I really never felt any discord because this race is so tight. I will remain a staunch Democrat. Furthermore, I have extraordinary high view of Bill because during his tenure - my needs and wants were achieved. To wrap this up and this goes for both of you - Chinese philosopher and teacher of ethics Confucius {c580c-478bc} said: "In all things, success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure."
What should we do if the nomination goes to Obama? As an immensely strong Clinton supporter, naturally I am going to feel some heartache in regards to my question because I want so much for her to go down in U.S. history as the "we the people" choice, where every man, woman and child - in fact - every living species experienced dramatic improvement to the next their life level through the entactment of her issues. Over her 35 years, I am quite confident she knows what it requires to meet the goal by knowing what can be given and want can't be. With this experienced knowledge, I suspect the people won't get buried and those issues will be addressed properly first - and passed overwhelming and put in immediate action without months or years of waiting. This is the change I know she will deliver, not only for all the people, but also for senators and representatives who need individual for those they represent in their states and communities. In my view, Hillary Clinton must be part of the Democratic administration. Highly visible, twice as active as she is now - to successfully move America and its people forward. Also, I want to know that she made the decision and the buck stops with her - and her alone - and if it does not work - start packing your bags. Regardless who ends up the title of nomination, the only way I see this Democratic party with continuous successes -election after election - 2009 must have both candidates on the ticket. I see nothing wrong with either being the Vice President. They have been both been exceptionally kind to each other, but what puzzles me is that why the people's choice is not the chosen guideline as well as going into the general election? Has our founding constitution taken on a "change" when it comes to what "we the people" have chosen? I really would like to know - from all sectors and I really don't want any bashing of Barrack or Hillary. Respectfully, Ben
As I search for some more words of support and encouragement to express to you, to somewhat pay you back for tossing your hat in the ring, for bringing me so much joy, for your straight-talk on the issues that have not only a direct effect on my life, but also the millions and millions across our land; all I can do is borrow a saying from our 38th President Hubert H. Humphrey: "Never give in, never give up."

With kindness,

Ben
