It was truly a joy
to watch Hillary's *excellent* speech on CSPAN without all the dunderhead interruptions and commentary by the MSNBC/CNN/FOX bobblebots.

1. For your information, MSNBC didn't "interrupt" at all.
Yes, they did commentary, but that's what they're paid for. You want raw feed, you watch C-SPAN.

2. Olbermann TRIED to cast aspersions, but Tweety and Russert shot him down. The speech was AWESOME.

12. I disagree. I thought they were all very gracious and complimentary.
Todd and Russert were especially good.

3. Yes, it was.......
I dunno about my fellow Obama supporters, but I'm wiling to forgive, forget and welcome Hillary back to the fold. She did the right thing, I knew she could and she, as well as us, are the better for it.

She is a strong woman and will go on to achieve great things for us all.

5. Agreed 100%
It's time to focus on winning the general election. The in-fighting serves no purpose at this point and I would be leery of anybody who still focuses on the internal bickering.

7. "back to the fold"?
Come on, can you at least at last admit she never left? She's a loyal democrat and she was one when she was running against Obama, too.

10. She is a great Democrat, as she has proven today........
but between last Tuesday and today she was walking a fine line......for a while I thought, and I know I wasn't alone in this - that she was almost willing to throw it all away, her carreer, everything she's worked for, the Party as a whole and the Election in November, for something she won't achieve this time around.
I'm glad to see that she has found the strength I knew she had and did what she needed to do. And do it brilliantly.

You won't hear another bad word against Hillary from me.

Hill supporters, Obama supporters - we are DEMOCRATS.

6. It brought tears to my eyes
I was never a Hillary supporter, but I was very moved by her speech. I think it was the best one she ever gave.

9. It really was an historic speech.
She wasn't my candidate, either, though she is my senator and I've voted for her twice. I watched it on MSNBC, and did appreciate the commentary, especially by Olbermann, but I should have switched to C-Span. Guess I missed the boat...:shrug:

13. "Eighteen million cracks in the glass ceiling." My favorite line in the speech.
