        Lucky for Obama, she’s bright enough to recognize bad advice when she hears it. 

        For many people, Obama is an acquired taste. To know him is often to like him but how would that have happened if he was alone in the field and talkng to himself? 

          As the race has gone on, the polls have shown increasing numbers of people who like his manner, like what he says, and who plan to vote for him.  

        They were converted by time, the time to learn about him, time that was given to them by a campaign that was not foreshortened by a  media stampede. 

      But Hillary has also done the rest of us a favor by refusing to abandon the race. By staying the course, she has involved the entire country in the election process, a novelty in the day when winners can and have been announced before the polls close. She’s made voters feel as though they mattered and that politics had a place for them – at the ballot box.  

           I wish I wasn’t the only one saying, “Thanks, Hillary.”
