(Host) The only Vermont Democratic super delegate supporting presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says it’s clear that Barack Obama has won the party’s nomination.
And Brookfield resident Billi Gosh says she’ll shift her support to Obama just as soon as Clinton concedes the race.
Gosh, who’s a member of the Democratic National Committee, says she’s received a lot of emails urging her to throw her support to Obama.
(Gosh) “I’ve gotten hundreds of emails to that effect from people I don’t know. But then I also have gotten some calls from quite high level people in the Obama campaign whom I do know. And what I’ve told them is that I am in until she bows out."
(Host) With the outcome of the race now decided, Gosh expects Clinton to drop out of the race as early as this weekend.
(Gosh) “She’s going to have to concede soon, I would think, and in which case, sure, I will start helping to get us to victory in November."
(Host) Gosh says many of Clinton’s supporters are urging the Obama campaign to select her as Obama’s vice presidential running mate.
Gosh says she has mixed feeling about that because she thinks Clinton could become a key leader in the U.S. Senate in the future.
