I can understand Hillary Clinton's tepid support up to this point. It's excusable for her to brood for two months when you come as close as she did to a nomination she wanted all her life and get that much support. She's only human (contrary to what others may think). Also, this was just a speech. If she stumps for Barack in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and helps him with older women and white working class voters, fine. Then she has actually done something. We'll See. I owuld submit that its her husband Bill who needs to step up. Damning with faint praise is the BEST thing you can say about his attitude towards Obama, and he is needed in this race, particularly in the South. And spare me the "last two term winner" stuff. No Ross Perot in 1992, no Bill as President. Like Obama, he ran a great campaign but also got lucky. Bill needs to get on board. And I don't think he can. He sabotaged his wife's campaign too. I think he has lost it.
