Hillary Rocks the House


She didn’t just take the high road, she owned it.  At least 10-12 explicit endorsements of Obama.  She did it at the beginning, in the middle, at the end.  And she never got lost in solipcism or narcisissm.

Ambinder on Twitter speculated that her speech will be to 08 as Obama was in 04.  I think that’s about right.

Have to say that Hillary having been away for three months has made the heart grow fonder. That said, I wish her foreign policy positions had gotten more than a total of about 1 minute (30 seconds each on two occasions).

How’s this for unfounded speculation:  the DNC intentionally lined up a bunch of duds to make Hillary look this good.

Wonderful speech.  As Olbermann just said.  “I don’t know how it could have been better.”

    She did hit the grand slam tonight. And the stage management was flawless throughout. The convention organizers did nothing to step on her moment. This is really a big moment for Democrats overall. It reminds me of how deep the bench was on the Democratic side this cycle… especially compared to the GOP field.
