That's a Relief

Whew. I'm glad McCain's not running against Hillary. She gave a stemwinder. Sure, plenty of Democratic pap. I'll read the transcript for details to be rebutted. Absolutely, she gave Obama a minimal endorsement. Her speech was about her, not him. And as I wrote this afternoon, only he can make the sale for his candidacy. No one else can do it for him. But the last quarter of her speech had a lot of optimism and confidence about America's future. No hardships or obstacles can stop America. I like that a lot. Obama never does it; he's a pessimist. Sometimes John McCain borders on cranky pessimism. But Hillary gave a very strong speech, an American leadership speech, very close to an American exceptionalism speech. Dems never do that. Reagan taught us all how powerful it can be. Hillary has come a long way.
