My Take On the Night

By Big Tent Democrat

One of the things that has been made clear tonight is that Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton will not go quietly into that good night. And in one sense, there is no reason to.

What will happen to them? The Media will blast them? NBC will be mean to her? As opposed to what they did before? Obama won't like her? And he was nice to her before? The Left blogs will spew vitriol at them? Um, and?

I'll be honest, my own preference, as a Democrat hoping for a unified party, would have had her be more conciliatory. And perhaps she will be in the next few days. But there is something that a lot of these folks need to understand - Hillary Clinton does not need you anymore. She is not going to be the nominee, imo. She does not need their goodwill which they never offered in the first place. Hillary can be Senator for Life if she wants. Or anything else, except President or perhaps Vice President in 2009.

Hillary will endorse Obama and campaign for him in the Fall. But as she made clear tonight. It will be on her own terms. Not anyone else's. And it is time for the Democratic Party and Barack Obama to deal with that reality. He is the presumptive nominee. It is his job now.
