This is not only in response to a specific diary, but also in response to a lot of comments I am starting to hear around here, in other blogs, and from my friends. I am a fervent Obama supporter. I have maxed out my contribution to him, and so has my wife. I've met him on two ocassions, canvassed for him, and made calls for him. In short, I want him to win the nomination. I want him to win the election. Hell, i think I want him to win re-election already. I have been turned off by some of the Clinton tactics (mainly Bill's) in this campaign. But I do like Hillary, have a fondness for the Clinton Presidency, and really believe my signature: "I am not voting against Hillary, I am voting for Obama." I wish people on both sides would keep that in perspective, but that is not what this diary is about. No, I want Obama to win, and I would be thrilled personally if it all wrapped up now. But I do not think that would be good for the party, good for the country, or good for Obama. Hillary is not obligated at all to drop out and she should not drop out.
Join me on the flip to explain.
