I watched Hillary's speech last night, though I am an Obama supporter. I don't want to dislike Hillary or anything, and I will vote for her if she gets the nomination. But her speech last night was terrible! I was very disappointed listening to it. She sounded like a kid who just got socks and underwear for Christmas instead of an Wii. Robotic is too kind a word for it. She had no passion, no fire, and she missed her own applause cues. It was like she was reading a grocery list. My gut feeling was that she realized that her chance for the nomination was lost last night. She needed to knock Obama out, but instead he won more delegates, more states and is now in a position to keep winning thanks to the huge number of small donors that support his campaign.
Obama on the other hand gave an amazing, impassioned, patriotic, and moving speech. It was the kind of oratory that will bring more and more voters into the Democratic fold and left me feeling pumped up for the election to come.
"We are the ones we've been waiting for!"
