The speech we've been waiting for

Hillary Clinton gave a great speech today: I felt that she has taken great steps towards unifying the party behind Obama, and did much to make up for McCauliffe's "next President" remarks in introducing her on Tuesday evening.
It is clear now that she will work as hard as is necessary for his election, that she realises her future is better with her going all out to help him rather than standing back and hoping that he falls.
Good. It's time to get the national focus on the differences in policy and person between Obama and McCain. On to the general election.
Mind you, hearing the press continually harping about how "compressed" the schedule is --- we have about 150 days to go -- is amazing: how other countries can run an election in just a few weeks the press here will never know!

Yours, relieved, but not too surprised,
N.
