1.During a hard fought campaign it is easy to lose sight of the fact that Obama and I have far more common ground and far less with John McCain....(elaborate on Iraq; the economy; health care reform).
2.Obama ran a masterful campaign and while I hated to lose I must
acknowledge that he exhibited qualities of leadership in organizing it that are essential in becoming a great President, especially great intelligence, judgment and coolness under fire. He can take the heat.
3.Although I wanted to become the first woman president Obama's policies and mine are going to improve the lives of women---and men. John McCain, by contrast, will set us back. He is against women's right to choose, protection against job discrimination, children's health insurance.
4.After thinking about it more deeply I have decided I do not want to be Vice President. I want to help the Democratic majority in the Senate pass the legislation an Obama Administration will propose.
