I’ve seen plenty of speeches by McCain, Obama, and Hillary during this election cycle, but Hillary’s concession speech on Saturday may have been the most Presidential speech I’ve seen so far…she was fantastic and struck just the right tone in acknowledging her supporters for all they’d done and encouraging them to work just as hard for Obama in the coming months.
After some serious errors on the campaign trail that made many, myself included, question her loyalty and ethics, it was great to see Senator Clinton give such an incredible speech. I continue to think that she wouldn’t be a great VP choice for a number of reasons, but my opposition to an Obama-Clinton ticket just got a little weaker.

It was a hell of a speech. Still think Obama’s race speech was best of the year—though yesterday Hillary did for gender what Bam did for race. It raises the question of why she didn’t use gender during, um, the campaign, like his blog told her to

I agree. It ruled. I’ve always wanted her to do the right thing, as a woman who truly wanted to vote for a woman and this speech def puts her in VP territory. I was so disappointed in her behavior throughout the campaign and it was SO nice to see her prove me wrong in the end. I just hope her 1 and 5 blind support switches from McSame to Obama before November.
