This is just a "I'm proud of our campaign" speech. Concession comes later.

I don't know why people are freaking out. She is simply telling people to be proud of fighting hard, and be proud of the issues they are passionate about.

It clearly isn't a "campaign" speech - it is a "you guys are great" speech.

1. More like a fundraising speech.

[NightWatcher]

2. all of the rhetoric was leaning towards a concession

she just spared her supporters tonight

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Exactly, give it a week

[Suich]

4. Agreed!

Lordy, I need a drink!

[phrenzy]

5. Maybe a bit of "VP" set up too...

But mainly she didn't want to pop the balloon tonight. I think she will let Obama claim victory FIRST, then come out and concede when her supporters are totally braced for it.

6. She shouldn't lead her supporters on like this,though

It started well, but she could have glued everything together tonight and wenty the other direction.

[phrenzy]

7. She was mostly patting on the back and sending them home with a bit of energy

rather than sending them home sulking...

[blondeatlast]

8. McMore's speech was an epic fail--we had momentum.

Now this longtime Democrat is just disgusted--but sending another $25 to Obama tomorrow. :mad:

9. Plus if she gives a concession the media will focus more on her tonight.

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I'm hoping that she'll announce an endorsement tomorrow when they are both in NY in a unity type speech. However, if she drags it out a over a week to try and force Obama to make her VP or some sort of concessions, It'll sour my opinion on her.

10. Uhnnnn Huh! Yeah.....Riiiiiiight.......You really think there's some consideration

of someone other than Hillary in her mind????? I truly doubt it.

11. The people here in GDP are to consumed with hatred to think rationally

[high density]

12. Yes Tweety

That's total bullshit. You can have both a "I'm proud of our campaign" speech and a "this is the end" speech.

13. It was her, yeah I am as bad as you say I am speech
