Title: Great speech by Hillary

Hillary's exit speech was wonderful.  She showed her integrity, and commitment to the democratic party.  I think the Democrats will clean up this fall.

Agreed.  Today, she did what she could to help unite the party.

I only saw chunks of it on the web, but she did an excellent job.  

PM, you're right.  The Democrats will do very well this year.

So she "suspended" her campaign so she can keep all the $$$?

I also enjoyed this:

22 percent, said they would not vote at all if Clinton were not the Democrats' nominee

You can't keep the money when it's all in debt. I still think much of the holding out may have been over money and convincing Obama to help get her outta debt. Kinda like what the Chineese are doing for our cause here at home.

22% don't mean squat. Is that across the board? Then would it even matter in some states?

Tough to watch someone go through having to accept unanticipated defeat. She's climbed her way out of denial. Barack told her he would crown her down the line. Here is now. Hillary and Bill, we hardly know ya anymore....Another good day in the most historical year in American politics.

Lookout.....landslide coming.

22% of hillary supporters nationwide feel low voter turnout is the way to go.

Edwards, too, suspended (not quit) his campaign.  That allows two things--first, her delegates still get to go to Denver.  Going to a convention is a special honor that should be allowed for her hard working supporters.  Second, it allows her to continue to hold fund raisers in order to retire her debt.  Most candidates only suspend their campaign.  They want some delegates to be at the convention to represent their voice, and they want to pay off all of their debts.

Perfect!  He can't refuse her debt now!  If he does it will be seen as divisive.  She is a true politician.  Very well formulated speech!

To bad she wasn't the nominee.
