Hillary Clinton Hits It Out of the Park for Dems … and Herself

My thoughts after the jump …

Hillary Clinton placed her trust in Barack Obama to lead the Democratic agenda from the White House Tuesday night in Denver, calling on her party with a renewed sense of urgency to close ranks behind the presumptive nominee after their tense primary fight.
“We don’t have a moment to lose or a vote to spare,” the former first lady said at the close of her headlining address at the Democratic National Convention.
The speech was a direct appeal to her supporters to set aside hurt feelings and back her former opponent.
It was for her campaign a dramatic moment of closure. The crowd, waving signs emblazoned with “Unity” and both Democratic candidates’ names, rose to its feet as flashbulbs fired at the end of the address.

First, here is my twitter trail …
I do believe that Hillary proverbially “hit it out of the park” with her speech. However, while she was very strong to endorse Obama, her speech was clearly more about her run and goals than anything else. I also think her speech will go a long way with settling the rift within the Democrat party. I don’t believe for a second we won’t see her running for President again.
Of course I don’t agree with her approach to public policy and I was shocked when she accused McCain of being against equal pay for equal work (for women.) Regardless, she did what was expected and we shall see how far it goes.
