		<description>After catching up a bit, I&#039;ve been relocating from The OC to Tucson, Az., I had heard about the calls but not seen the reports that are here on DemDaily.

Hillary Clinton is going to fully support Barack Obama, To do otherwise in a climate of extreme sensitivity would endanger the outcome in 2008.

AVWROBEL: Hillary Clinton specifically does not want the fight that even I was proposing a month or so ago. She is &lt;em&gt;supporting&lt;/em&gt; Barack Obama from head to toe. She is determined to get him elected. Any effort by well meaning supporters to derail the Obama train only weakens the already difficult process of setting up a General Election campaign operation.
If we love Hillary we have to respect her wishes which she has made very clear. That is, for some, a bitter pill. But we have months until the Convention to heal and even more months until the election to bury the Republicans. 

As Bobby Kennedy said, &quot; This isn&#039;t about an election or candidates, it&#039;s about the soul of a nation.&quot;

Barack Obama will be the official nominee in August. Let&#039;s treat him as such in June. &lt;em&gt;That doesn&#039;t mean he escapes reporting and criticism when warranted&lt;/em&gt;. It means we accept he&#039;s going to be the nominee. Period. And Hillary Clinton is ok with that outcome. 

Bj: While you, and others, believe with heart and soul that Barack Obama isn&#039;t the right person for the WH, turning out and supporting his choice in November is another critical action.
The next President will put his stamp on the Supreme Court for the next generation. Many on the court are aging and he will have the opportunity to appoint those that seek  a modern America. 
The next Presidential election has the potential to carry the House and Senate to unassailable majorities. Imagine being back in real majority status after so many years.
The next Presidential election will help Democratic governorship races through out the US. The election support of Barack Obama can have impact at the state level as well.

So I say to you, BJ, first I understand. It is, as I said, a bitter pill. Take some time. Relax. Get away from the daily reporting for awhile! I can tell you taking a short break from the daily BS has helped my attitude but not dulled my instinct for when the Obama campaign needs to be kicked in the ankle to get their attention.

Take a break. Heal. Then vote for Democratic Nominee in November because the repercussions will long and deep if we have an overwhelming turnout and, worse, an overwhelming negative message if we don&#039;t. 

Feel on it for a few months.

with respect,
