Dear Senator Clinton,
I write to you with great regard. You have played a tremendous part in this year’s presidential election. You have every right to be proud of your contributions to the public good, and we hope to see great things from you in the future.
You were never my first choice. In fact, I don’t think I know any of your supporters personally. But do not think that this detracted from the pride I felt seeing you run. That sense of pride is gone.
I wonder if you don’t quite understand this, but America does not want you to be President. The Democrats will always have a place for you, but only if you do the right thing here. Let’s consider the possibilities that lie before you:
You might somehow pull out some kind of ugly and underhanded coup in Denver. You might get the nomination. But many Democrats and many Independents would be unable to forgive it, which would make a victory by Senator McCain much more likely.
Or, you might not get the nomination. You might instead, become a pariah.
Senator, I understand what drives you. You want to change the world for the better, right? That’s what this is all supposed to be about, isn’t it? So please, I ask you, leave this race now, with what remains of your dignity and prestige, and let’s make Barack Obama the President of the United States of America.
Respectfully Yours,
Alpha
