Hillary Clinton's speech was beautifully crafted and perfectly paced. She gave her supporters all the time they needed to reflect on the most prominent issues of this election, as well as to revisit her campaign and all that it embodied for herself and her supporters.
She took her speech right to the edge for those waiting to hear her support for Obama, and right to the brink for her supporters who clung to the fading hope that perhaps she would continue to fight. At just the right moment to satisfy both sides IMHO, she scooped up all the plans and dreams from her platform, put them all in a big box with a bow, and handed off her work for Barack Obama to continue. She could not have been more gracious, and for that, she will remain forever in my heart and mind as having said and done "the right thing".
Good for her, Good for America.
Very nice article, Joan!
