It's time to pack it in, although I am *WILLING* to wait until 3/5 for Clinton

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a 10 loss in a row. In basketball & baseball terms, the coach/manager would be fired already. The margin to beat Obama in pledged delegates increases. I mentioned last week 57%. It just went over the 62% mark. It is now virtually impossible, barring a Obama scandal (and I don't mean the one starring Larry Sinclair), Clinton has virtually no chance in being the nominee. She should at least be graceful to the Democratic Party and let it go, so we can prepare the battle with the old has-been, McPain.

Hillary supporters, yes, we have battled long and hard during the primaries, and I recognize your persistence in continuing to back Hillary and I am willing to wait until my birthday (March 5th) before she concedes the Democratic election to Obama. I am also proud of you guys in sticking with your man, like I am sticking with my own. It took a long reluctance for me to switch from Edwards to Obama, but through careful research and lots of man-hours of Googling before I am entirely convinced that Obama is our man to lead the United States from the current quagmire it was in. My mother was a Clinton supporter, and will be switching to Obama. My dad may sit out the election because he doesn't like either choice.

2. I wish more of the Obama people
of which I am one, would read (and post to) diaries like yours. There is too much mutual hate here. Your diary is a much needed balm for that.

And I would hope, were the tables reversed, someone as eloquent as yourself on the other side would be as gracious.
