An open letter to a failed candidate:

Earlier tonight, Hillary Clinton missed a chance to prove us all wrong. She could have defied expectations and proven herself to be a uniting force in our country. But she didn’t.

At the end of a gross display of ego and hubris, Clinton asked Americans to go to HillaryClinton.com and tell her what to do next. Well I did and so should you. Here is what I said:

Senator Clinton,

Tonight you had the opportunity to celebrate the fact that our country has just nominated the first black candidate from a major political party. Unfortunately you chose not to stand with the future president of the United States and engaged in a vain attempt to steal the spotlight on an historic day.

You owe Americans an apology for your ego driven display in New York this evening. For the good of the country, for the good of your political future and legacy, it is time for you to step aside and move on. We all have.

Sincerely,

Ryan Lewis

Tonight America moved forward towards the kind of bright future that we all deserve. Tonight I am proud to be an American after 8 years of heartbreak and an empty wallet. Tonight I pulled my cracked check card from that empty wallet and donated another $10 to the Obama campaign. Consider doing the same HERE.

Political Cartoons for Tomorrow’s Primaries

After winning the South Carolina Democratic Primary, Senator Barack Obama stated that this election is about the past versus the future. In the spirit of compromise, togetherness, and just generally not killing anyone’s buzz, I’ve combined the style of late 19th-/early 20th-century political cartoonist Thomas Nast with the substance of mmk_kobayashi’s flickr page. Hopefully the result was informative and entertaining.
