President McCain
Get used to saying it because the Democrats have just chosen the wrong nominee. Obama will not win in November. Not unless him and his supporters do some major damage control with Clinton supporters, which would mean reaching out to them in a way they seem incapable of.
The Obama supporters who think Clinton played dirty, haven't seen anything yet. Obama's empty record will finally be in the spotlight. He will have to be much clearer on how he intends to bring change, especially to the voters in middle and rural America. He will now have to puth forth credible, detailed plans rather than rely on lofty themes and buzz words. Good plans, what a concept!
There are already millions of Clinton supporters who have vowed not to vote for Obama. Some of them will not vote for him even if Hillary is on the ticket. There has been too much damage done by his surrogates, his supporters, the media and himself. Obama has a lot of work to do to win over Clinton's army. Whatever he does now will probably be received as disingenuous and way too late.
McCain has some work to do as well. If he can recapture the same spirit of his 2000 campaign then it will be no contest. This is doubtful. He's alligned himself to Bush way too many times since then. However, if he can win over many of Clinton's supporters and enough of the more conservative independents, he will be our next president.
If Hillary is picked as Obama's running mate, then it's hard to see how he loses. However, I hope to God she doesn't choose to go this route if she is offered the spot. I think there are better opportunities ahead for her, and she would be far more effective in a different role.
So for all the pundits and Obama supporters trashing Hillary for not conceding tonight, I say, fuck off already and get used to saying it, "President McCain."

Like I said in the post, "Obama will not win in November. Not unless him and his supporters do some major damage control with Clinton supporters, which would mean reaching out to them in a way they seem incapable of."
Anon is just proving my point.
I never said I would actually vote for McCain. However, everytime I begin thinking about supporting Obama, some asshole like this has to throw a little jab. I swear, his supporters will ruin this party.

I'm sorry that you were offended by the comment above by an Obama supporter. I will say that McCain is not good news for women. His promise to put Supreme Court Justices on like Alito and the like, will overturn Roe V. Wade. We have not come this far as women, for that! I wish you luck as you reach this decision. It cannot be an easy one. Hillary's speech was very moving on Saturday and as a mother, I thank her!

With all due respect to "this mama," your concern is appreciated but where was all the concern a few months ago when we warned Obama supporters that their behavior could hurt their candidate in Nov. They just ignored and laughed at us. It's sickening seeing the party being taken over by a bunch of ultra-liberal geeks and arrogant, closed-minded hipsters who have a disdain for traditional values and believe style trumps experience.
I don't need policy lectures from anybody, I know what is at stake. However, Obama and his supporters are still going to have to work really hard to get my vote. If not, me and millions of others will be staying home.
For the record, I'm not a female, as many of you commenting seem to think. My user name is not Marcia, it's Marc 1 A. It's not just women who were supporting Hillary.
