I watched Clinton's concession speech on youtube (you got to love the Internet). When she was talking about how much she has accomplished and thanking her supporters, her tone was full of excitement and emotion. But when she starts to talk about supporting Obama, her voice turns solemn and mechanical. I would still characterize her concession and support for Obama as lukewarm.
's
She made her entire campaign look like a movement about women's rights. I am glad that Obama did not make his look like one about civil rights or minority rights. When Clinton was saying all sorts of things about Obama, none of which was true, such as Obama was less qualified then she or McCain, and Obama was sexist, Obama did not respond in kind. Looking back, I really did not recall Obama said anything bad about Clinton throughout his campaign. Even when Clinton made that outrageous RFK assassination allusion, Obama did not clamor on and attack Clinton. Imagine if Obama made similar comment regarding Clinton, what Bill would say.
I am just glad the whole thing is over. With or without the support of hillbilly, Obama will prevail in November.
