Hillary: Time To "Write The Next Chapter In America's Story"
By Greg Sargent - June 7, 2008, 1:31PM


Aside from her passionate insistence that her supporters get behind Barack Obama, I think this might be the most important line in her speech:

"Our lives, our freedom, our happiness, are best enjoyed, best protected and best advanced when we do work together. That is what we will do now, as we join forces with Sen. Obama and his campaign. We will make history together as we write the next chapter in America's story."

In saying that it's time to "write the next chapter in America's story," Hillary was using Obama's own language, words he's repeatedly used to describe his own historic Presidential bid.

In a sense, this was perhaps the ultimate concession: Presuming Obama wins the White House, she acknowledged, the next chapter in America's story will not be the one she intended to write, but the one Obama is writing.

And she's now going to help him write that next chapter. It's really the most powerful message she could have sent to her supporters: It's not our time; it's theirs; and as difficult as it may be to except, we're going to help them make it happen.
