Clinton gets her party started

Wins in Massachusetts, California and other big states, plus an uncommonly good speech by their candidate, made a New York Super Tuesday crowd very happy.

    Yep, I think you got it right. I watched some of the returns last night on CNN and caught some of Clinton's speech. She sounded robotic to me, utterly without fire or passion. Now, I must admit that I absolutely loathe what passes for political rhetoric in this country and I generally avoid it. So I don't exactly have a big database to compare her speech to. But gee, it was a victory speech to her own supporters in her own state and she couldn't let go just a little bit?
