I’m using a term that is better known in Europe than the United States. I’m sure that I will get some level of an angry response, but it was a safer title than, “I think I hear the Fat Lady singing”.

Anyway, these are the people a politician least wants to see or hear from who takes you to the side to tell you that the party’s over. Normally the elder or high ranking members, family, friends and colleagues, who you trust enough to tell you truth.

With an almost unanimously segments of the media and others anxiously anticipation the end of Hillary Clinton’s campaign to be the Democratic Party’s 2008 presidential nominee, there is a lot of talks about how she will exit from the race. How hard will she and her supporters take it? How bitter will she or they be?

The big question is who will or can tell her that she needs to call it a day?

I admire and can relate to her determination.

No matter how hard I try, I will never be as good as Tiger Woods on the golf course or Michael Jordan on the basketball court. I can continue to try, but it’s not going to happen. Eventually, I have to come to the realization that I can only play the game.

PS: I say this with all sincerity. Although I have disagreed with your campaigning tactics, I don’t believe that you would intentially mean any harm towards the Former Attorney General Robert Kennedy. I do not want you or Barack to face the same fate that he was faced 40 years ago. For once, I’m giving you a pass. Although you probably would have not done the same for Obama, but that’s another blog.
