Clinton's Grand Slam

Last night Hillary Clinton delivered an address that is arguably the best of her career. In an appeal to unite the Democratic Party behind Barack Obama, she poured her heart out about her love for the party and the values she truely believes in. A speech that definitely had the potential to make one laugh, as well as cry, attacked John McCain on a number of issues. She even went so far as to call John McCain and George Bush twins and made reference to their appearance in the Twin Cities next week. My favorite quote of the public address, "No way, No how, No McCain."

In a rare and exciting opportunity, I was able to attend a join delegation party between New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. At this closed event, I was able to meet Governors Corzine, Rendell, and Patterson, in addition to the entire Clinton family. Hillary and Bill Clinton both made remarks to the private crowd consisting of people from states that Hillary carried. Her message for unity continued behind closed doors, and she was very grateful for the love and support she received.

Barack Obama can only hope that Bill Clinton's address tonight will continue the message of unity and swing some of the 21% of Hillary's supporters who currently favor John McCain. Let the party continue...
