Speechwriters. Soooooo important.

Here’s the transcript of Hillary Clinton’s primary speech in New Hampshire last night. But the best line, among many good lines:

Over the last week, I listened to you and, in the process, I found my own voice.

Of course, Capri Cafaro didn’t pay attention to what she was saying when she acted as though she was listening to us, but that’s another story.

What I wrote last night? It’s true. It is very, very true. How far will it go? Don’t know. And remember the book that came out last fall about how people vote with emotion?

This primary season is just starting.

If Clinton sticks with this, and she and her team translate the success of being the best kind of interviewee from the Meet the Bloggers annals, she will have rechanneled the authenticity represented in phrases she’s said in NH while campaigning, especially those about just how long she’s been working to make things different and better.

Is she still at the bottom of my list?

Well, it’s a short list – only four names. But I definitely feel better about her campaign. It’s striking much, much better chords.

Update: Not everyone feels the same way about the show of emotion.

    For the latest on Capri Cafaro, see bottom of the page at http://www.Craig-Morford.com/email.htm

    The federal prosecutor who gave her immunity in the Traficant case, has been (deservedly) dumped from the top of the DOJ.
