Last night was a historical night here in the USA. Senator Barrack Obama became the first African American in the history of the United States to get the nomination of any major political party for a chance to run for President!

In what should have been his night to shine, Senator Clinton, [D-NYS] announced that she was not ready to stop campaigning. She reiterated that the 18+ million people that voted for her must be heard and, said she, while there were many decisions to be made, she [Clinton] ‘will make no decision tonight’.

I was under the impression that the Democratic Party had a winner take all policy. Obama reached the so-called magic number of 2118 and some, yet Clinton refuses to acknowledge him as the nominee. As recent as Monday on the Today Show, Clinton’s campaign strategist, Terry McAuliffe, told Matt Lauer that when Obama reaches the magic number of 2118 she, meaning Clinton, would be the first to congratulate him and begin to unite the Democratic Party.

Now, as I write this, I am listening to Terry McAuliffe on the MSNBC’s Morning Joe, it seems like Hillary is ready to concede. Let just say this, before Obama jumped into the race I was all about Hillary R. Clinton for President. But, once Senator Obama announced his desire to run the game plan changed. But make no mistakes, this primary contest will go down in the annuls of American History as one of historical proportions. The First African American and the First Women to be serious contenders for the nomination. I knew that whatever the outcome it was history in the making. I knew it would be Hillary or Obama. With that said, let me predict that there will be no dream team ticket of Obama & Clinton. I say Obama and Edwards, but who knows. As the old saying goes, politics makes strange bedfellows. What comes to mind is John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Those two hated each other, Johnson always felt that Kennedy didn’t pay his dues and stole the nomination from him but for the sake of party unity they formed a ticket. One of my main concerns is how ready the Secret Service are to protect Obama. We all know that there are some crazies out there that just can not accept the fact that a Black Man may actually be the President of the United States. That can not accept the fact that there really is a new America and that in my life time (I am 54 years old), Whites will for once be the minority. In the real world, that should have no baring. But many whites (those crazies, you know who I mean) feel guilty for the sins of their fathers, and feel that if “Blacks get into power” the tables will be reversed. Rest assured crazies that will not happen. We, so-called minorities, love this country as much as you do. We, so-called minorities, have shed blood for this flag in every major battle dating back to the Civil War. We have always felt American even when you (crazies) denied us that right. So, 2008 - Century 21 if you will, and everything has come full circle. The best person has risen to the occasion and it just so happens that he is a mixed race individual. But, that person- Mr. Senator Barrack Obama will be the Commander in Chief, will uphold the U.S. Constitution and life will go on.

Now comes the next phase of this historic quest. Mr. Obama must revise his game plan from one of seeking the nomination, to that of running for President. This means selecting a running mate that together can beat the Republican machine because we know it will be geared up full force against Obama, and one that meshes or blends in with his ideals and goals for this country. That also means identifying someone that will uphold his legacy in the aweful event that he is assasinated.

So while Hillary was not going to make a desion last night, Obama to will not be making a desion yet. For that, Hillary and all the pundits will have to wait.

Hilary Clinton has won big in Puerto Rico or so some of the pundits say. However if you do the math she still trails behind Senator Obama. The question on many peoples mind’s today is whether she will bow out gracefully or continue on and risk being labeled a spoiler?

Personaly, I think she will concide and will congratulate Senator Obama is a big press confrence tonight in New York city. Many do not think that Hilary will concide and will try to pursuade the Superdelegates that she has in fact won the popular vote and can beat Senator McCaine in the general election.

What do you think?  [poll id="4"]
