I just got a wonderful E-mail from Hillary.
Dear Charles,

Over the course of this campaign, I have seen the promise of America in your courage and character, your energy and ingenuity, and your compassion and faith.

Your spirit has inspired me every day in this race. While I traveled this country talking about how I wanted to help you -- time and again, you reached out to help me. To grab my hand or grip my arm, to look me in my eyes and tell me, don’t quit, keep fighting, stay in this race for us. There were days when I had strength enough for the both of us -- and on the days I didn't, I leaned on you.

This has always been your campaign, and tonight, there's no one I want to hear from more than you. I hope you're as proud as I am of what we've done and that you'll take a moment to share your thoughts with me now at my website.

I want to congratulate Senator Obama and his supporters on the extraordinary race that they have run. Senator Obama has inspired so many Americans to care about politics and empowered so many more to get involved, and our party and our democracy are stronger and more vibrant as a result.

Whatever path I travel next, I promise I will keep faith with you and everyone I have met across this good and great country. There is no possible way to thank you enough for everything you have done throughout this primary season, and you will always be in my heart.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

9. I got a cool one from our nominee, right before he went on stage...
... where the GOP will assemble the sheeple to applaud Grampa Bomb-Bomb.



Jennifer --

I'm about to take the stage in St. Paul and announce that we have won the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

It's been a long journey, and we should all pause to thank Hillary Clinton, who made history in this campaign. Our party and our country are better off because of her.

I want to make sure you understand what's ahead of us. Earlier tonight, John McCain outlined a vision of America that's very different from ours -- a vision that continues the disastrous policies of George W. Bush.

But this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past and bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.

It's going to take hard work, but thanks to you and millions of other donors and volunteers, no one has ever been more prepared for such a challenge.

Thank you for everything you've done to get us here. Let's keep making history.

Barack

10. That's nice.
I think she'll be a great asset in whatever role she plays in the election and in the next administration.

17. ....
I'm really trying here, I did NOT expect her to concede, but couldn't she at least have been more gracious to Obama? He was so respectful and complimentary to her. I am glad she has sent her supporters a nice email, I don't want to fight with you about it, I'm just so sad right now. She gave her basic stump speech and whipped her supporters into a frenzy of "Denver, Denver" chanting, it was a missed opportunity at best and a slap in the face at worst. To make things even worse she couldn't even accept his phone call (again). I'm sorry, I just think it sucks...

24. WTF Charles "this is has always been your campaign"
Christ almight Charlie if people find out that it was you that screwed up the campaign they are going to crucify you. I wouldn't boast about this.

You may need witness protection.
