Like Hillary Clinton, I have had few days to reflect on the recently concluded, long-suffering campaign to choose the presidential nominee for the Democrats.

I was going to write something yesterday, but seeing as how Senator Clinton was going to address her supporters and the nation today, I decided to wait, just in case she said something surprising – or wore a dress.

Her speech, however, was what everyone had predicted. She thanked everyone, congratulated Obama and threw her support behind him, urging her supporters to do the same. Good for her, but did she have any other choice?

I have some thoughts about the campaign and the candidates that I will share with you, not that these thoughts are particularly insightful, nor for that matter, will you care. But here they are:

Wolf Blitzer, he of the Situation Room on CNN, and supposedly a neutral observer, must be a Clinton supporter, or why else would he treat her upcoming speech today as if it was the second coming of Christ?

I actually thought that when the contest ended Tuesday night with an official Obama win, that it would be months before I would hear Blitzer say, "the best political team on television." How wrong I was. And could that phrase be any more nauseating?

For all the talk about this campaign being an historic event, which it was, it still pointed out that racism is alive and well in our United States. We’ve come a long way, but there is still a long way to go and muddying the waters is the growing Hispanic population.

I was amazed and befuddled by the backing of the blue-collar workers for Clinton. What possible common bond do they have with her? Her and hubby Bill made some $20 million last year, more than any of those blue-collar workers would make in two lifetimes. She even admits to living a privileged life. So what am I missing here?

And lastly, I know the importance of a presidential campaign, and I know that the media must and should cover it. But do we really have to be subjected to countless hours of listening to political pundits, particularly on the cable news channels, rehash every single word that’s said by the candidates?

Then listening to them tell us what each candidate shouldn’t have done and what they need to do to win the campaign. If these people are so smart, why aren’t they running for President?

When are the news departments at these stations going to wise up and realize that there are other, more important things going on in the world that the American public needs to know about and not in just a superficial way. There are some serious issues out there and ones that need to be looked at in detail and addressed.
