2. Sure!

I think she did very well with her speech.

Her call for unity and to continue our fight was quite impressive.

As an Edwards supporter (now for Obama) my heart goes out to her supporters. It's very hard when your candidate suspends their campaign.

Now, we'll all go on, together, and win back the White House!

3. I WAS SO PISSED ON TUESDAY WHEN SHE DIDN'T CONCEDE

but now I honestly think that this audience and this speech may have contributed more to having her supporters back Obama than anything she might have said on Tuesday evening.

That speech did justice to her supporters and their hard work during the campaign, plus it covered a lot of the progressive agenda that all Democrats want to enact, THEN she gracefully and emphatically threw her support to Obama. A very well-crafted piece of statesmanship. Stateswomanship??

As much as I hated her campaign I have to say that was a great way to get Obama's full-bore Presidential campaign as the nominee rolling.


But, I still don't want her on the ticket.


Go Hopey!!!

4. Great speech! As an Edwards supporter, I too extend my

heart-felt sympathy to Hillary supporters. It hurts. It really hurts. It will take a while, but when you consider the choices, I hope you will, as I have done, decide to support the Democratic candidate who is selected in August with the same enthusiasm as with which you supported Hillary. We have to elect a Democratic president. It is our time. This is the century in which we have to save our planet and our democratic ideals.

5. Too funny

Figures the biggest crowd that she has spoken in front of the entire primary season, and it's on the day she exits the race. CYA Biooootch - Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. NO MORE CLINTONS OR BUSHES IN THE WHITEHOUSE - What a great day for America!

6. I prefer...

Don't let the door hit you
Where the good Lord split you :rofl:

I still don't trust her, and I don't think her staff should be a part of Obama's Organization
He doesn't need them. He almost has 1 million volunteers and hundreds of staff.

I would have feel differently if she had fully conceded but she ONLY suspended her campaign
I think that's fishy and the MSM's are trying to sell us a line of BS about suspention for "legal" reasons, but When Edwards endorse Obama his Delegates where release, she is holding her delagates
WHY?

not a good sign, I don't trust her, I hope Obama doesn't either
