Last night Senator Hillary Clinton made a historic speech that paid tribute to all those who had struggled to make change before her, and then unequivocally threw her hat in the ring for Barack and his own movement for change.
Hillary clearly outlined the immediate connection between the issues she stands for, and the direction Barack will take the country in. It was a powerful moment of true unity in the party, and with Hillary undeniably on the team, the campaign will now move full steam ahead.
And her delegates from Ohio are following her lead, throwing their support behind our candidate. This article from the Cincinnati Enquirer profiles former Hillary supporters making the transition:
Among the Ohioans, there seem to be fewer Clinton delegates covering their hats, shirts and blouses with Hillary buttons than you see in some other delegations from states won by Clinton.Alta Beasley, a 2nd Congressional District delegate from Georgetown in Brown County, is a pledged Clinton delegate - although the Clinton delegates expect that this morning they will be asked to sign forms releasing them from their pledge. Beasley was - and is - an enthusiastic Clinton supporter, but she said she will now throw herself into the job of electing Obama..."It's time to move on."
