Last night Hillary asked supporters to go to her website and share their thoughts for what should come next. So, I went. I was a little disturbed by the comments of many who said they would vote for McCain over Obama, not vote, and/or made all sorts of other extreme and extremely childish threats, and accusations about Obama.
I am guessing most of the people who wrote are the fringe, and I hope that most Hillary supporters will put the party and country first, get over their disappointment and move on.
Out of respect for Senator Clinton, I am not going to officially join the Obama campaign until she suspends her campaign, endorses Obama, or at least makes a decision.
This is what I put on her website:
Dear Hillary:
I have supported you from the beginning, despite most of my family and friends supporting Obama. I am not entirely your demographic, but nevertheless, I have always felt that no one would be a better president than you. However, now that Obama has enough delegates, I think it's time to re-strategize. Staying the course doesn't seem like a realistic or smart option. Running as an independent? No, we're Democrats. Taking it to the convention? No, that almost ensures a McCain victory.
Are you interested in VP? Then go for it. I could also see you as Secretary of State or a Supreme Court Justice. Whatever you do, I know it will be great and I know that this country is a better place with you on our side.
Best,
Kristina Lund Alcantara
