Hillary's speech was good so far as the delivery and tone, and she generally did a good job of acknowledging her supporters while making the case for supporting Obama. Still, something about it was missing and I couldn't quite put my finger on it until this morning. What I really needed to hear was some answer to Clinton's claim during the primary that she and McCain were more qualified to be President than Obama. When you make those kinds of charges, I'm not sure it's enough to say "Support Barrack Obama." I think Clinton needed to also tell us exactly why.
I'll be honest: I find her support to be tepid and perfunctory, and think it's best for the Obama campaign if the Clintons get in their final two cents and exit stage right.
