I gotta hand it to her. She really brought some energy to the crowd yesterday. I thought she did an excellent job of rallying the troops and trying to convince her supporters to vote for Obama. I liked that one of the very first things she said was that she supported Obama. I also REALLY liked about midway through her speech that she tried to make it clear to her supporters not to resent Obama for winning when she asked her supporters that during her campaign were they supporting her or supporting all the people in this country that need help? Whether she likes Obama or not, I thought she did a tremendous job of trying to send the message to her supporters to not resent him and that he is the guy that can bring change and make the country better and that she supports him.
I also thought it was good that she mentioned that she is friends with McCain but he is not the guy. The underlying tone of her speech was do not make this personal but rather be objective and what is best for the country. I liked when she said at the end that it was fitting that the RNC would be held in the twin cities because right now it would be hard to distinguish b/t Bushie and ole' man McCain.
Again, a great job of energizing the audience and being selfless in letting her supporters know that she harbors no ill will for losing the campaign and that the right thing to do is to vote for Obama. I think her speech will go a long way.

I agree. It was a solid speech and any Hillary supporters who vote for McCain are either ignorant, racist, or weren't really supporters of Hillary.
Unlike many elections, this year the choices are starkly different. I think Hillary helped explain some of those major differences.
