Dear Hillary Clinton,

I must start by saying that I admire the way you have run your campaign for the Democratic Nomination in the 2008 Presidential Election. You have fought your way through nearly 50 primary elections, each time win or lose, you have promised to keep fighting.

Even three months ago when analysts began crunching delegate numbers and pointing out the fact that you realistically could not win this election- you kept fighting.

For some reason you believed that a victory in the Pennsylvania primary would be the miraculous change your campaign needed to turn the tables on Obama’s lead. Well, you got your victory and also gained some points with the analysts, as they jumped on the chance to report that your campaign finally had some momentum. The news channels were relieved they could continue to drag out this soap opera a little bit longer. These channels seem to have selective amnesia sometimes because they continuously failed to mention you were statistically incapable of winning the popular vote.

Last night, you continued fighting in the two biggest primaries left in the United States. At the end of the night, the results mirrored what analysts had predicted for weeks; Obama would win North Carolina and you would win the Indiana primary. Obama gave you a run for your money in Indiana, but you pulled it off. Congratulations.

Something unexpected did occur last night. The news networks finally began to acknowledge something that many of us have been well aware of for many weeks. You will not be the Democratic nominee for President in 2008. There don’t seem to be any more “ifs” about your campaign. There are no variables to factor in that seem to work in your favor and at this point and the news networks have even given up on dramatizing the battle between you and Barack Obama.

Yet, after the results were tallied (most of them) and last night’s races were decided; you promised to keep fighting.

Why?

Are you really going to continue to solicit money from donors who are paying $4/gallon for gas and are coping with almost unbearable increases to their cost of living? I thought you were the blue-collar candidate. Why are you selling these people false hope? The republicans are not going to continue fueling your campaign anymore (yeah, I said it), as they’ve even moved on and accepted that John McCain will be squaring up against Barack Obama in November.

I ain’t mad at ya Hill. I don’t like when people tell me I can’t do something either. My teacher’s and local law enforcement always identified this as a problem with authority, but maybe I was just getting a jump start on my own political endeavors.

But there are certain things that people have told me I can’t do that I have to accept. Everyday I wake up and realize that at 26 years old, I’m not going to make it to the NBA. I’ve accepted it and moved on.

On that note, I’m suggesting you do the same Hillary. Please don’t drag this campaign out for another month when America knows you can’t win. If you bow out now, you do it with dignity and I truly believe your supporters will respect your effort and be prepared to have your back next time around. If you drag this thing out for another month you will continue to harm the Democratic Party, take more money out of the pockets of hard-working Americans and further reduce your chances of ever seeing support from Obama’s base.

Please take my advice and do what is best for our country. Go ahead and let the Democratic Party unite and prepare for November.

There’s some messed up things going on here in New York (R.I.P. Sean Bell) and the rest of the U.S. isn’t doing too well in many areas either.

How about you head back to Washington and help some of us out with that Congressional authority we’ve given you?

The choice is yours Hillary- and as you’ve done before, you’ll probably make the wrong one, but I will maintain hope that you will find a dictionary sometime in next few days and really ascertain the definition of the word impossible.

Sincerely,

Xplosive
