Some people out there in the blogosphere have been complaining recently about Barack Obama's supporters harping on one and only one issue; Obama's insurmountable lead over Hillary Clinton.
Maybe they have a point.
All of us Obama bloggers have come up with our own creative ways to tell the story of Sen. Clinton's efforts to redefine reality. While writing about this issue has been therapeutic for many of us, it is time to move on.
