Thank You Hillary
June 7, 2008 by IrishSpacemonk
Throughout this campaign this blog has not been the kindest to Hillary Clinton. I place blame for that squarely on reaction to what I felt was a devisive message from her campaign. And this feeling was only reinforced on Tuesday evening when a concession speech sounded more self congratulating.
With that sentiment, I watched her concession speech this morning and I have to say, it was probably the best speech she’s delivered.
Thank you Hillary. I for one feel that in this one speech you took ten giant strides to unifying this party for the November election, and the defeat of John McCain. And in the end, if Barack Obama does not win the nomination, it will not be because of your lack of effort, but the fact that John McCain was the better candidate…oh doesn’t the RNC and the Republican ditto heads only wish.
Best. And go Democrats in 2008.

I was out running this morning. I’m catching it now via msnbc.
A long run sounds good. I’m curious what others think after watching it, but I do feel she came across much more real in defeat then she did while assuming victory.
