With a extremely heavy heart, I think, for the good of the party and the country, he needs to withdraw from the nomination process.
I personally don't have the stomach for this process to carry on to Puerto Rico, all it will do, will polarise the party to such an extent that civil war could easily occur.
People can check my previous diaries, to see I am and will always be an ARDENT obama supporter, but that support is tempered with the need for a Democrat to be in the White House.
I can't see Hillary Clinton, under any circumstances withdrawing, so Barack needs to blink.
Obama as a person, can walk off the field of play, with his head held high, because he has campaigned with so much dignity, and energised part of the electorate.
Obama supporters have to ask themselves, do they want John " George Bush 2.0 " McCain in the White House, where all he will be doing, will be using Democrats to do his dirty work.
A party divided, is a not a party, but merely collection of individuals. If democrats implode, all they will be doing, is letting down the homeless, the poor, the people who dream of a better tomorrow, and hand the nation to a rabble of self serving conservatives.
