Regardless of candidate preference, can we all be proud of our party today?

No matter what you think about Obama, I think we can all be proud of the Democratic Party for making history by nominating the first African American presidential candidate on a major party ticket in US history. We've broken a historical barrier, and at this historical moment I think we should all be proud. I would be saying the same thing if Clinton were the nominee, and I'm hoping this is something we can all agree on. I am proud to be a Democrat and proud to be an American!

1. No, HRC and her surrogates are holding both our party and our nation hostage.

5. While we can be proud for having nominated Obama, I feel humiliated...

by this continuing Hillarycide the Party is allowing to occur.

7. Who cares about Hillary?

It's over, we won, whether or not she concedes now or next week really doesn't matter. Let's just celebrate this historic victory...I'm done caring what Hillary does and I am not going to let her ruin this day.

4. Well, I agree

And if Clinton were the nomineee, I would imagine things would have gone very differently and she'd have run a much more sane campaign. So yes, and I AM proud to be a Democrat!
