Congratulations Clinton Supporters!

I'm not sure how many people on this blog actually know me, but those who do know that I've been a consistent and I think vocal Obama supporter.  As such I would like to give due credit to someone who the media was counting out and better finances were drowning and still won.

Since I'm an Obama supporter (hopefully you'll forgive me for this), I would like to point out that she does have the vocal support of the former Democratic President of the U.S. and the Governor of the state along with other countless political figures in Pennsylvania.  And if anything this race shows anything it is how important local, state and national political figures can be in advocating for their candidate.  I would also like (please forgive me again) to say that he did whittle down a substantial lead that she had less than a month ago.

But to the point of this diary.  This is a congratulations to her and you for all the hard work that you have put in supporting her and working for her election.  I have been here consistently and I've seen the work that alegre, NewHampster and others have put in on this blog and on calls and walking.  You two and others that due not immediately come to mind (but have done no or not much less) have done a lot in what I know is a labor of love for a truly esteemable candidate.

And your hard work has been matched by her hard work and that of her staff.  She's done some great things in both this campaign and in her life against some of the longest odds.  She has been good public servant long before her career as a public official began.  And in this campaign she has obviously won more votes than any other presidential primary candidate before 2008.

I hope that you guys enjoy this win...and then it's on to Guam, North Carolina, Indiana.

As a neutral, I congratulate the vast majority of supporters of both candidates who are good and decent Democrats.

A very respectful and well communicated diary.

Thank you.

Rec'd.

And while we bask in the glow of the win for the next 15 minutes, and talk amicably, we will move on in minute 16 and start to campaign vigorously for her again in Guam, N.C., and IN.

Thanks again, and your candidate did a great job getting his message out.

Now...let's get back to work.

Go Hillary!

Why didn't BO win in PA! (1.00 / 2)

Come on...answer this question.

He had the bucks.

He had the "grass roots/Obamaphiles":.

He had the MSM.

WHY DIDN'T HE WIN.  Please.  We're waiting for an answer.

Coyote, if you want to get into a back and forth we can do it.  I will tell you about the massive advantages she had and you can tell me how my candidate is a weakling who will never be able to beat McCain b/c he will never win Hillary's voters.  But is it really that important.  She won!  I hope you are happy about it.  

At the moment, I don't want to spoil that for the many people who have worked so hard, so I won't get into that.  I will just say congratulations and know that you have an excellent candidate.

Speaking as another Obama supporter, great diary.
