Hillary's concession/endorsement speech was a good start. but much remains uncertain. How will the Obama campaign actually want to use her? Will she really do what they want her to do as opposed to her own agenda?
As for her 18 million supporters - I heard a good analogy - the way a brand new car depreciates significantly the moment you drive off the dealer's lot? That's the deal with that 18 million. And think about it - it is not 18 million rabid supporters - who knows how many, especially in the early contests, voted for her just out of name recognition? And how many felt it was almost a toss-up between her and another candidate and then they just went with Hillary with an, "Eh?" I mean, that 18 million number is not necessarily so solidly behind her to begin with. Probably a large percentage is - but of that, how many will turn to McCain or "no vote," knowing that McCain will put pro-life justices on the Supreme Court?
My bottom line - yes, she did the right thing, and I can see where it needed to be done a few days after Tuesday night. But now - just help Obama, the way he asks, just do it!
