While the bloviators may debate whether "she did the absolute minimum" or note that "she never explicitly said that Barack is ready to lead," I know what I heard.
I heard a speech that will go a long way towards bringing the Hillary supporters back home. I agree with Keith O. and Rachel Maddow -- any HRC supporter that listens to that speech and still votes for McCain is operating in a "post-rational" mind set. There will certainly be some dead-enders, but the vast majority will place their vote with Obama.
Earlier this year, I spent Tuesday after Tuesday rooting against her, and begging her to drop out once it became obvious that she couldn't win. To say that I haven't been a fan of hers is an understatement. So you can imagine my surprise when I was rooting her on last night while watching her smack down McCain and endorse Obama.
To steal from Keith and Chris last night, she hit it out of the park, and now we can put the primaries behind us and focus on beating the hell out of Grandpa McSame.
As for me, I've decided to log on to her website and make a contribution. I've been on the fence about it, but I figure that unity is a two-way street, and as an Obama supporter, I should show my thanks in a more tangible fashion.
Now let's go kick Johnny McMansion's ass!
