Even though you've all read it already, I think it's worth pasting Obama's email

We may not know the final outcome of today's voting until morning,
but the results so far make one thing clear.

When the dust settles from today's contests, we will maintain our
substantial lead in delegates. And thanks to millions of people
standing for change, we will keep adding delegates and capture the
Democratic nomination.

We knew from the day we began this journey that the road would be
long. And we knew what we were up against.

We knew that the closer we got to the change we seek, the more we'd
see of the politics we're trying to end -- the attacks and
distortions that try to distract us from the issues that matter to
people's lives, the stunts and the tactics that ask us to fear
instead of hope.

But this time -- this year -- it will not work. The challenges are
too great. The stakes are too high.

Americans need real change.

In the coming weeks, we will begin a great debate about the future of
this country with a man who has served it bravely and loves it
dearly. And we will offer two very different visions of the America
we see in the twenty-first century.

John McCain has already dismissed our call for change as eloquent but
empty.

But he should know that it's a call that did not begin with my words.
It's the resounding call from every corner of this country, from
first-time voters and lifelong cynics, from Democrats and Republicans
alike.

And together you and I are going to grow this movement to deliver
that change in November.

Thank you,

Barack

1. We all made a difference
Lisa and her Precinct 347 caucus in TX, Mopinko and everyone who swarmed to and all over OH, my friends and I who walked against the cold wind in Central Falls, RI this last Sunday. We kept Obama's delegate lead high and made our presence known. That will stand us in good stead when we go back and campaign for him in the Fall.

I only named a couple of people, but I'm so impressed by and grateful to everyone who worked their Democratic asses off in OH, TX and RI (in VT, too, I'm sure -- I just didn't hear as much about them!) Thanks to all of you!!!!

And on we go.

2. We have already
changed the face of American politics and shown the national viability of Dean's and Obama's ideas about how to best represent the American people. Let us be patient, keep at it, and take it all the way to the White House (and the halls of Congress, and all the state offices Obama's win will help fill with like-minded candidates.)

3. he is such a great guy
I will be honest and say when this first started I thought most states would be like Ohio and race would be a problem. I told my husband last night I can look at it negative and say how awful of them to be that way or I can think positive and say I am sooo proud of most of my country that has shown me how much time has changed and that we overall as a people are ready to as Colbert would say "see no color"
