A late farewell to a worthy candidate.

As we all know by now Hillary Clinton has chosen to drop out of the democratic nomination for presidency. What is unclear is why she chose to drop out at such a point in the nomination? From this article (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/10/us/politics/10clinton.html) I gather that her campaign has generated a hefty debt (the largest in the history of presidential campaigns) and to continue on would just invite more indebted money.

While it is true that Hillary Clinton has dropped out of the presidential race, it is still quite possible that she will end up as Obama's vice president. Many bloggers have started hopeful predictions that she will in fact end up as Obama's vice president. Clinton or her close supporters have yet to disclose whether they will start a run for the vice-presidency. However, common sense says starting a new campaign will likely add to her accumulated debt.

Whether she ends up in the White House with the Obamas, or not, there is a huge thanks and credit that needs to be given to Mrs. Clinton. First off (and most obviously) she is the first female candidate to be considered for the presidency. She has paved a new, yet devastatingly important trail for future aspirants to take up. Secondly, she shares a common interest with Obama on the topics of the War at Iraq, education, the economy and foreign policy. Though she is out of the race, expect to see some of her ideas flow into the Democratic Party's plan of action.
