Sen. Hillary Clinton visited staff at her headquarters in Arlington, Virginia Wednesday just after most of them had been told they would no longer have to report to work after Friday.
A staffer who was in the room said she invited all of her campaign staff to come to her home on Friday.
Before Clinton arrived, the staff was told that they would be paid through June 15th. But the bulk of the staff was told their last day of work would be Friday.
Junior staffers were emotional and some were crying and as Clinton left her headquarters, she waved to cameras outside.
Reading this passage made me rather sad. Not because I forgive or excuse Hillary's behavior...but because I can understand that she fought very hard for this nomination and must be terribly disappointed. I can relate to that even as I think less of her for every hour that goes by without conceding.
I hope that we won't populate the Rec. List with angry screeds about why Hillary must not be Vice President. Obama KNOWS how we feel (he can see the exit polls) and undoubtedly feels the same way and won't let himself be bullied.
But let's focus on John Mccain. And let's work towards unity. The ONLY way we can lose in November is if we lose Hillary's supporters. So let's make sure that doesn't happen.
