"We tend to think of the Rational as a higher order,but it is the Emotional that marks our lives.
One often learns more from 10 days of agony than from ten days of contentment."
Merle Shain

It is a Long and Winding Road....I used to think that phrase was so trite...I don't anymore....we have all been on this Road together, it has not really been Rational , but it surely has been emotional...But it is the Road that we are on....to Something Better...to Change...

...I think these last monthes have stretched all of us...in a way that we never expected...I never thought that Hope was meant to test Bounds or be elastic.....But I have also come to believe that Hope is woven , and we all are the threads....Namaste.

THANK YOU NORTH CAROLINA AND INDIANA, HUFF POST POSTS THAT "OBAMA IS PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE"

***************************************
It was an Amazing Night. Obama did a beautiful job in Both States.
Obama won North Carolina with 15 % lead, I have final numbers posted in the Comments thread below.

Less than a half hour ago, the MSNBC and CNN declared Clinton the winner of Indiana, it was and is still very close less than 2%, of 1,252,759 votes cast there. ( Provisionals and Absentees were and are still being counted). All Counts are posted in the Comment thread below. If you get a chance do watch Obama's Speech from last night on Huffpost and listen to him, he is offering Hillary an Olive Branch, a chance to Unite Our Party.

HuffPost ran the headline of the night at 1am " Obama Presumptive Nominee".

Hillary has cancelled all her appearances in the am, and she does have a Fundraiser Event planned and she is still attending that. It was revealed this eve by Russert that she did again lend her campaign money this month.

*** Footnote: Today Obama gained 4 Superdels, and that means he has increased his momentum with them, and is only 12.5 superdelegates behind her. We also learned that Hillary supposedly lent her campaign 6.4 million last month.****

DEAR PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS, OBAMA WILL BE A GREAT PRESIDENT,HE CAN HEAL THIS NATION....

WE THE PEOPLE have to Never Again Have Leadership that Abandons Our People In Trouble.
WE THE PEOPLE have to have a Leader that Will End This Illegal War and Bring Our Troops Home.


*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
WE THE PEOPLE have to have a Leader that is Willing to listen to Millions of People.
WE THE PEOPLE have to have a Leader that Values Our Greatest Resource: Children.
