The stubbornness of Hillary Clinton's refusal to admit defeat in spite of astronomical odds was well documented in the press. However, her months-long arguments of why she was the better candidate for the nomination disappeared in the space of a day later last week when it was clear that the Democratic bigwigs weren't going to have any protracted battles over who got to fight McCain in November.
Hey, easy come front-runner status. Easy go.
So away with Clinton the candidate and enter Clinton the Obama supporter in a much publicized Saturday announcement. This means many things, but one of the most important is that two of my bets are now valid: that Obama will not be assassinated by election day and that Obama will be elected the next president.
Another bet with a former boss required that Hillary be the nominee. That's now null and void.
There's been plenty of ranting about Clinton over the Internet for years now, but I'm a little sad to see her off the main stage. Nothing like a personality such as Clinton's to keep the crazies and the supporters screaming their responses to every piddly little post about her and her opponent.
We can only hope she gets the veep slot to keep the drama going.
