Hats Off To You


Senator Clinton.

You did a very hard thing, and you did it beautifully.

No one could have asked for more.

Thank you.


And for those of you who are still somehow unclear about what Senator Clinton really, really meant when she repeatedly, volubly, unambiguously said "No Way! No How! No McCain!" and "I support Barack Obama" and called upon you to do the same...

PUMAs must shut up and go away now.

She did do IT, I got to say. That's the most genuine I've ever heard her sound. It was all she could do. Now, those who do not respond to that, well, they are not dems at at all and probably never were.

Thankfully, that's over.

Her shining moment and glory.

This speech should be and likely WILL be added to under grad com studies and poli sci coursework for analysis of political rhetoric.

Two things, IMHO, and from what I was taught, shape great rhetoric:

1) The climes of the times.
2) The ability of the orator to USE the climes, and deliberate about something that's not about them, but about the audience, and offer hope and stir passions.

These climes are RIPE for great oratory and we don't hear any of it cuz of the MSM and the 1% ownership of our elected officials.

HRC delivered the speech of her life, and did it flawlessly.

She did it all. Got the PUMA's waived off or on, both of them, inspired, motivated, asked for change, showed the way TO the change, and beat up the opposition in a severe manner. Her knocks on McCain show the GOP will no longer have a free ride from the Dem's, regardless of what OBAMA says or does not say.

And by god, she rallied, unified and when she started her close with the 1848 Women's Suffregette's and worked thru Harriett Tubman's words . . . this was an orator leading her people to act, and act for Barack Obama. I am one of her people now, and I've been on board with Obama since Edwards dropped out.

But I'm proud of HRC for tonight.

And I think it was rhetorical majestry of the likes we just don't see so much anymore.

Masterful.

Thank you, Hilary Rodham Clinton.
Thank you for your service.

She will be a formidable Supreme and until then, a formidible Senator to support the change we all insist Obama works for . . . cuz he told us he would.

Masterful speech . . . IGBOBLAB.

That speech was simply awesome. And we know know that Bill will follow with a smoother, smirky, but still good performance.

Oh and Joe Biden is going to rock it tonight.

As will the Sox.
