Very emotional night for me last night.
When I listened to Clinton's speech I cried to see such a strong candidate's campaign come to an end.
I then cried when I listened to Obama speak thinking it has finally happened.
Today is a new day!
As an Obama supporter I have a big favor to ask of all other Obama supporters.
Be kind to the Clinton supporters!
Think how you would be feeling now if things were reversed.
If we want them to unite behind Obama and we need to reach out first.
Please remember, no matter what your personally feeling about Hillary, she was/is a very strong candidate who has many passionate supporters.

2. I think we'll be a strong party going into the General Election.
You're right--we all feel passionately about our candidates. Now it's time to feel passionately about getting a Democrat into the White House. I hope that Hillary supporters will not feel disappointed for too long; we really need them and I hope that we can all speak with one voice.

4. This whole she needs time is bullshyt.
How can she be someone who is ready for the 3am call, but needs up to 10 days as one of her mouthpieces suggested to accept that she lost.

If you are ready from day one, you should ready for anything even losing
she should shake this off accept the loss and move on.

How can she scream sexism at every turn, and then want to be treated as a "weaker vessel" when it comes to accepting she lost. BE a Woman, be a strong black woman Hillary. Look at your situation, accept where you are at, and move on from there. Dwelling on coulda woulda shoulda, ain't gonna put food on the table.

Ok sorry I went off for second, but ya'll know what I am talking about!:lachen:
she needs to kick that testicular fortitude crap into gear, show your balls girl concede!

5. We certainly don't have to "reach out" to a few dozen blog disruptors.
Anyone denigrating the Democratic Nominee from now on is NOT a Clinton supporter at all.
