Hillary's Mission Accomplished

i feel better about her being on the ticket, if obama selected her, so i guess that says something for her speech. it also left me feeling sad for her and compassionate for her supporters. one thing is clear, there seems to be a real movement now for unity in the democratic party and for sweeping transformation to bring this country back.
other reactions
the skeptical reaction, what's up hillary's sleeve. (she still kept her superdelegates)
hillary could point out that obama is pro-woman

speech transcript
what obama said:
Obviously, I am thrilled and honored to have Senator Clinton's support. But more than that, I honor her today for the valiant and historic campaign she has run. She shattered barriers on behalf of my daughters and women everywhere, who now know that there are no limits to their dreams. And she inspired millions with her strength, courage and unyielding commitment to the cause of working Americans. Our party and our country are stronger because of the work she has done throughout her life, and I'm a better candidate for having had the privilege of competing with her in this campaign. No one knows better than Senator Clinton how desperately America and the American people need change, and I know she will continue to be in the forefront of that battle this fall and for years to come.
