As I've said often, I am a Hillary supporter. I voted for her in the Massachusetts primary; I sent her a lot of money (which I matched with donations to Obama after the Indiana and North Carolina results made it clear that Obama would be our nominee); I loved her speech tonight.
I'm not sure how many Kos people are on her email list -- although I'm sure it's not as many as are on Obama's :) She sent an email to supporters after her speech that I thought people here should see. It's below.
Dear Ian,
Standing on that stage tonight in front of 20,000 Democrats unified behind Senator Obama, I saw a bright future for America. I saw millions of people across the country working as one to elect the next Democratic President. I saw a new President and a new Congress giving a voice to the voiceless. I saw America, the land of endless potential, regaining its role as a leader in the world.
I couldn't be prouder of our party, of our nominee, and of all the work you and I have done together over the course of this campaign on behalf of the American people.
I knew that as I stood in front of that podium, I wasn't alone. I had you, and everyone who has supported me, standing right up there with me. And that means the world to me.
Thank you again for everything you've done. Now let's get to work helping elect Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and all of our great Democratic candidates!
Sincerely,
(signed) Hillary

What I love about this email is it brings up unity and Obama in the first sentence -- just like her speech did tonight. It's an email of hope. And it says, let's get to work and elect Obama-Biden.
I'm proud of Hillary; I'm proud of our party; I'm proud of Barack. And honestly I'm proud of this website -- the reaction to HRC's speech was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you to all. Let's go win this thing!
