My Letter of Support To Hillary

I wanted to say I am proud and honored to have witnessed the historic race you ran against Obama. I just fundamentally believe you are the more qualified and and stronger candidate to beat John McCain. Sadly, the Democratic Party chose to select the most inexperienced and least vetted candidate in the Party's history.

I am sad and depressed about the outcome, the fact that superdelegates betrayed you, the fact that the media aided Obama in securing the nomination and reveled in the fact that you did not receive the nomination. I hear the pundits saying you should accept "defeat" and concede. Well, one only does that if one was beaten fair and square. That did not occur, not by a long shot. They talk about the "defeat" of the Clinton Dynasty but don't listen to them. They cannot eliminate Bill Clinton's Presidency and Obama is not a President yet.

Regarding this concession: Do it on your timetable. Don't be rushed by these people and Party be damned. They have their golden boy so what do they want from you? They claim he is this "change" candidate and your not much of a change and yet, they want you to back him and help to make him President, even as his supporter have openly and blatantly claimed you are not a good leader and does not appeal to Obama higher aspirations. All I can say is those are some of the same people that live in glass houses throwing stones.

Regarding this VP discussion: It is clear that he and his supporters does not want you on "his" ticket. I for one think it is a bad idea, especially if he loses. However, I understand you have worked hard and if you desire to be the VP and you are selected, I will seriously think of supporting the ticket as I am no longer a Democrat. You see, I switched to Independent the day after the Indiana Primary because I was so disgusted with the shenanigans that night. I was not an easy decision. I have to admit, it would be strange to see you at the "bottom" of the ticket when we all know you should be at the top.

I know you will be scrutinized by everyone, your words will be dissected to see if you are "doing everything" to elect Obama. My question is: Why should you, when people betrayed you for him? What do they expect you to do? More importantly, what do you get in return? If it is the VP you desire to bring along your 18 Million supporters...then by all means demand it.
