Hillary Clinton should gracefully bow out of the Nomination Campaign



It is fair and reasonable that Hillary Rodham Clinton, bows to the people and stop further campaigning, allowing Barack Obama to prepare himself to meet his Republican rival for the final stage of the Presidential election. Ms. Clinton has shown herself a formidable Presidential Candidate. She is courageous and conducted herself exemplary well through out her election campaign. She would undoubtedly have been a most acceptable candidate for the Democratic nomination, and a wonderful President.

But the situation has changed and Barack Obama has proved himself the choice of the American Democrats. Further prolongation of the Democratic Party’s choice of its candidate, would provide nothing significant to Ms. Hillary Clinton, as the choice seems to have been already made. Further campaigning would only tire the voters, not to mention the negative effect on the final choice of the Democrats at the elections in November .

The Republican Party already has its candidate. He has the field free to win over the floating votes in his favour, which would be detrimental to the Democratic candidate who is still not on the campaign trail for the Presidential election. Therefore, the energy and vitality of the Democratic candidate should be preserved for the greater stake in November.

Ms. Hillary Clinton may win further caucuses if she continues her campaign, but that would not give her an edge over Barack Obama. Whether one likes it or not Barack Obama is already the choice of the Democrats, and the American people will appreciate it if Ms. Hillary Clinton gracefully admits it and bows out.

Further campaign may entrains heated questions, responses, and allegations from one candidate to another , which would be used by the anti Obama media reporters to cash on to use them against Barack Obama. One sees how an un-thoughtful statement made at the heat of the moment or at a moment of fatigue by Michelle Obama is being used by the media to challenge the suitability of the Candidate himself as the President of USA.

Therefore, wisdom should prevail in the Democratic camp to stop further campaigning for the nomination, and accept Barack Obama as the democratic choice for the USA Presidential election.
