In the end there can only be one candidate, and tonight it appears we have our answer.   I'm an Obama supporter.  But now, I can be a Clinton supporter too.  Because she's going to do something that is going to catch some by surprise (but not those of us that remember the REAL Clintons)- she's going to take that fight that she used to take this further than any other primary before, and she's going to turn it around on the Republicans.

And I'd hate to be one of them right now.

The sexist media isn't going to go away.  Neither are the racial jokes and monkey t-shirts from our lesser educated countrymen.  But in the end, the combination of the smart and resourceful Obama campaign, the 50 state strategy that has ALREADY started paying off with record voter registration and people who call themselves Democrats, the amazing group of people that worked to get Clinton this far, and the fervent supporters on both sides of the primary battle are going to turn their guns on Mr. John McCain, and man oh man.  That's one hell of team to be up against.

The Republicans are scared.  They're going to throw out Clinton's statements from the primary, Reverend Wright, old Bill Clinton scandals that we all knew were bullshit in 1996, much less 2008, and paint us as liberal, latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Democrats.

But I am liberal.

I love lattes.

And if I had a car, with gas heading to $5 a gallon, a Prius (made in America, don't forget) would sound awfully nice to me.

And I bet once our message gets out there, it'll sound awfully nice to a lot of Independents and Republicans too.

There's one party that can fix eight years of broken economic policy.

One party that can fix eight years of military imperialism and illegal wars, and bring our soldiers home.

One party that can fix eight years of international isolationism.

One party that will stand up for women's rights- not just reproductive, but around the world.

One party that will take health care from luxury to standard of living for all citizens of this country.

One party that will stand up for our gay and lesbian and transgender brothers and sisters, and work towards getting them the equal rights they've been cruelly denied for years.

One party that will make the education system in this country work again, and get us away from teaching for the test and back to the skills that can make us great.

One party that will put this nation on the path away from dependence on foreign oil and subsidized ethanol.

That party is ours.  The Democratic Party.  And Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are proud members of that party.  They've spread our message around the country, and working together, they'll spread it wider.

It'll be a battle, but think of the spoils- a Democratic controlled House, Senate, and White House.   Working together, change will come fast and furious in a way we can't even imagine after the last 20 years. The last eight years will be a distant memory.

Wounds take time to heal, and we've got a little time.  But once they are, it's time for the big fight.  And this one is going to be one HELL of a lot more fun.

ONWARDS!

UPDATED: Did you see that McCain speech? That was horrible. The debate between these two is going to be legendary (and not in the positive way, at least for McCain).
