I remember hearing Hillary Clinton promise to work her heart out to get whomever the democratic nominee is elected. Yesterday Terry McCauliff said Sen. Clinton would acknowledge Barack Obama as the nominee as soon as he reached the magic number of delegates. He has reached that number and then some. We have a nominee. Sen. Clinton is not working to get the nominee elected. Only she can get her most dedicated supporters to rally behind Senator Obama and her non concession speech sends a confusing message to those supporters. If this is a gambit to get offered the vice president spot, crow baring herself into the ticket puts Barack Obama in a lose lose lose situation. If he takes her on, he'll seem weak for bowing to pressure. If he doesn't ask her, he'll alienate her most ardent supporters. If he offers it with a face saving agreement that she will turn it down, he weakens himself later by having a running mate who wasn't officially his first choice. How does any of this amount to working to get the democratic nominee elected in November? It doesn't. We have a nominee. It's time for Senator Clinton to live up to her promise.
