To all my friends and familiars --

I remain proud of my support for my Sen. Hillary Clinton and optimistic of her long-term influence on all policy and political agendas going forward. I am not in the least disappointed, even prior to hearing her speech tonight.

With everything in me I expect she will be the strong voice of every American man, woman and child. Her reflection of the American conscience and people will not be betrayed by the politics of convenience. Her convictions will reflect, just like me, a defeat and a victory.

For today and for me, however, I will allow this to be my last post.

I will continue to work with full conviction for the Democratic party. My mission will remain true ... we must at all costs win this election. The pundit projection that this will be a close election, even if echoed by Obama's advisors, must not be tolerated.

Democrats everywhere must work to make this election, the election of constitutional and law-abiding leadership in every institution of government.

As for my presence here, this will be my farewell. I may on occasion post an impassioned thought -- and I look forward to this -- but it will be occasional.
To close this chapter, is difficult. I will think fondly of differences with many good friends. I will think often and fondly of screen names of all of you.

Thanks.
