Turn on CNN...
There's a woman on right now, African American, bawling over HIllary's speech. She's moving an old cynic like me.
Tonight did for Hillary Clinton what she really needed to do not just for Obama or her party but for herself -- create a legacy that her supporters will not forget four or eight years from now.
Campbell Brown, on the CNN panel shot it out clear and straight, "I bet people are wondering why he didn't chooser her as his VP." Did I mention that Bill was tearing the entire speech? Suddenly all those doubts about her not appealing to independents, of dragging down the ticket seemed moot.
It's amazing what a good speech can do. Perhaps Hillary finally got it 18 months later - words really do matter.
