Hill – Post Speech

Here's the vantage point from The Advocate's exclusive press sky box at the Pepsi Center (that's a joke, for those of you not familiar with my dry wit). That little speck of orange on the stage is Hillary, post speech tonight. Around her, the thousands of delegates she had just stirred to their feet after nearly 30 minutes of what many Democrats described as sheer oratory brilliance.

A friend, watching from home, texted me moments later, "Class act. Proud to be a woman..."

Ditto.

How I'll miss the Clintons' clear, precise, and elegant speech, as opposed to Obama's shallow cliches and canned rhetoric. I tuned in for a second tonight, and heard that we've lost our sense of shared purpose. Please. Does he actually believe that bull? I'll vote for him in a N.Y. minute. I just can't listen to him.
It's all about the policies anyway, and he swiped the Clinton agenda from day one: healthcare, bipartisanship, middle class tax cuts, fiscal responsibility, strategic investment, green energy, far reaching diplomacy, etc..
Bill devised these as a leader in the DLC. And Bill and Hillary refined them in office.
I'm glad Obama is still running with Clinton policy, although it makes me sad that he'll get the credit.
The powers that be may have defeated Hillary. But they can't do without the Clinton agenda.
