Cannot wait for us all to have no reasons left not to focus on that creepy guy who keeps saying "that's not change you can biliiive in (sneer)!"

Thank you, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Well said, Senator.

Looking forward to Saturday.

Dear Senator Clinton,

It has been a tremendous honor to have been one of the record number of Americans who voted for you in this primary. I have never been as proud to support a political candidate as I am of supporting you.

You have inspired me, and I suspect millions of others, with the depth of your courage, perseverance, sacrifice, love of country, and dedication to our shared vision of America. You carried the banner for the poor, the uninsured and underinsured, and the forgotten and invisible among us. You continued even as the privileged and the elite demanded you quit, and endured the derision and outright hatred of many who opposed you. At times their animosity wore me down, and convinced me that you should surrender. But you kept going. After being counted out, you prevailed in contest after contest, and ended the campaign with more votes than any primary candidate in history. You have earned my deep and lasting admiration.

I hope that when the time is right, you will again run for President of the United States. I promise that you will have my support once again, and this time, I hope to be there wishing you well on that January morning when our country will be fortunate enough to have one of its finest citizens as President.

Yours sincerely,
OrangeFur

That was surprisingly gracious.

I am looking forward to Saturday and in the future to regaining my respect for the Clintons whom I once so admired. This is an important and wonderful first step.

I have really enjoyed the last sixteen months.  You have made me believe in the Democratic Party again.  I will always be a Clintonista.

That is a very class letter.  

Despite all the criticisms of Hillary Clinton made  by Obama supporters, it really is important to have his candidacy endorsed by her, one of the giants of the Democratic party.  

It feels great that democrats are beginning to remember that we are colleagues, not opponents.  It was a pleasantly jarring moment seeing Lisa Caputo, Dee Dee Myers, and Paul Begala together on Larry King enthusiastically pledging to campaign for Barack Obama.  

Party is already starting to unite and coalesce.  Saturday should be an amazing celebration of this historic democratic primary race.  

Thanks. I suppose I should delete my diary - if I knew how! I did not see yours while composing mine. Todd has posted the letter on the front page. May the only troll smiting we need to do be that craven man running as the Bush apologist for the experiment where they don't tell people they are actually being harmed because they only care about the results and not the soldiers or people or innocent victims they kill and maim.

Reading this is balm for the soul.

"to stand up for our shared values and to never back down."

Nothing in this life can be done without allies. No one does anything alone.

I pity poor John McCain when he reads Hillary's letter.

Thank you Senator Clinton.

This is great news.  Very strong and classy letter. Good for Democrats.

That was very, very gracious and very, very eloquent. I feel ashamed for saying some things I did yesterday. And Hillary's time is still not over yet.

Guns locked and in holster awaiting Saturday.  If her speech is anything like that e-mail, I will take back the really horrible things I said about her (and even worse things I thought about her) Tuesday night.
