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.

    "We ar'e the ones we've been waiting for"

    TO: kidcostar

    This line in Obama's speech that so impressed you, is not his, or rather not that of his speechwriter, Jon Favreau.

    It's a Hopi Indian saying, quoted by Maria Shriver at the Oprah UCLA rally last Saturday. She was gracious enough to give credit to the Hopis. Obama just appropriated it.

    If good speeches are all some of you need to elect someone president, then vote for Jon Favreau. He's amazing.
