Guest blogger Dad4Obama's open letter to moms everywhere.

So it's not going to happen. Unless Barack Obama has corpses buried under the porch back in Chi-town, Hillary Clinton will not be the nominee. The dream of a Mrs. President in the Oval Office is fading fast, which means there are going to be some women really pissed off at me -- including my sister, not to mention millions more across the country. You see, I'm one of those men who backed Barack when the big crowds were eight people at a Coffee Bean with nametags.

I should have seen it coming. At my wife's baby shower, someone brought blank onesies to write on. So with a gooey purple marker I scrawled out Obama '08, then looked up at the room filled with women. You'd think I'd strangled a puppy. Then there was the walk back from the polling place, when I asked my wife, "Who'd you vote for?" She snapped, "None of your business!"

There's an exception to this rule--my Mama's for Obama. Like me, she was smitten from the beginning. White, Catholic, and crazy about Obama. I gave her a call before writing this to ask if there was any specific issue that caused her to betray the sisterhood. Was it his stance on the war? Ending Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy? Brad Pitt's endorsement? No. She simply replied, "I trust him." It's the same feeling I had early on, when I was lucky enough to meet the senator with the funny ears. There's this sense that Obama won't tell you what you want to hear simply to win your vote. He's going to tell you the truth, whether you like it or not.

I believe it's this honesty that drew Sunday's record crowd of 75,000 to the waterfront in Portland, Oregon. 75,000 in a sweltering heat, thirsty to hear a politician tell the truth.

Now, I've been reading lately about how angry Hillary supporters are considering voting for McCain. At least, that's what they've been telling the pollsters. If that happens, we're all going to have to get used to saying President John McCain. And to that, all I have to say is, "please don't." I can give you a hundred different specific policy reasons why you shouldn't vote for "McSame as Bush," but instead I'll just leave you with one. His name is Ben -- the kid in the smudged purple Obama onesie. Well, he just had his first birthday, and he deserves to have a country as good as the one our parents left for us. So please, ladies, don't hold a grudge. It's too important. Your time will come--just not this year.
