Charlie Rangel has an op-ed in today's Daily News [1] well worth your time. Go read it now.
The spirited and inspiring Democratic presidential nominating campaign that excited tens of millions of Americans is over - 16 months, 36 million votes and 54 primaries and caucuses later. From that contest sprang two extraordinary leaders who have become the stars of our party. There may be some residual bitterness among supporters on both sides, but there's no question the wounds will heal, and the Democratic Party will enter this election season stronger than it has been in recent years.
I am so proud of Hillary Clinton. She has shown a toughness and tenacity that won over even her harshest critics. She worked hard and diligently for every single vote, speaking masterfully to the economic, educational and health care concerns of working-class America.
Barack Obama, too, inspired a movement, bringing legions of new, youthful and previously disillusioned voters into the process and generating excitement unlike anything seen before in American politics. He has the winds of history in his sails, and as an African-American, I am thrilled to call him our nominee.
There's much more, of course. You can even discuss the editorial with the good Congressman himself, this Friday [2].
