Taking Off

While we all know that Hillary Clinton's run for president is now a definite thing of the past, she will not be officially making her exit until tomorrow. I love how these politicians have to wait a few to make a formal announcement when their advisors already tell us everything we want to know days before.

Hillary's official withdrawal comes just a little under two days since she met privately with Sen. Barack Obama, the now presumptive nominee for president the Democratic party. And both Senators' Clinton and Obama went to great lengths to meet in private. They met at the home of California Sen. Dianne Feinstein Thursday night to discuss what happens next. And while they chatted, the press was being flown around after getting on a plane they were told had Sen. Obama.

Along with her withdrawal, Sen. Clinton will be formally endorsing Barack Obama. Well of course, I mean how would it look if she didn't? Her backing Obama means her supporters will hopefully back him - and for his sake, strong emphasis on hopefully.

Now there have been questions as to whether or not Hillary would be considered for vice-president to Obama. Clinton knows the decision lies with Obama, but she has also stated that she does not intend to seek the vice-presidency, she is however seeking a new pant-suit.

So with Hillary bowing out tomorrow, and Barack Obama working to unite the Democratic party, we can now say that things are finally taking off.
