preliminaries and thank yous...I hate that old joke about "marrying up" and the success of a man due to his wife being a great asset. Boo.
"our problems are bigger than the smallness of our politics"...etc. Is this an apology for the tit-for-tat recently?
It's all about McCain...that's interesting. And consistent with the implicit apology and rhetorical move to refocus the campaign on its original message.
WE. The man loves the first person plural.
(And the chanting. Yes, we can.)
Lobbyists. Interesting, because Clinton made a big deal--mentioned it twice--about being "outspent 3 to 1" in PA...as if posturing as the financial underdog were at all plausible. Seriously.
80% reporting, 55% Clinton, 45% Obama. Sigh.
We can be the party that does where everyone has to agree...or we can be the hybrid cyborg party (a free JTB paraphrase): "we are not as divided as our politics suggest." It's still a good line.
"I'm not a perfect man, I won't be a perfect president." That's a far cry from Clinton's "being president is the hardest job in the world.....I'm ready on Day 1." just a bit arrogant, yes? Particularly in contrast.
mankind? I really wish people would ge with it and start amending to "humankind." It's not that hard.
All in all...no mention of "losing" while Clinton was all "neener neener neener." Gotta love the High Road.

I was not focused enough to watch any election coverage yesterday, but saw bits and pieces in the newspapers today. She's making me very sad. There's alot of courage in knowing when to admit defeat, especially when not doing so is very clearly damaging to the end result.
