Clinton speech in NYC, 6/3/08


No decisions tonight. Will post link to transcript when available. In the meantime, here’s what she ended with. Good choice. It’s the first song on a playlist I have for working out. Hey – now she’s playing my second one – Won’t Back Down. I’ve posted that before.

Want to tell her what you want her to do? Go to HillaryClinton.com and do it. That’s what she’s asked people to do.

I understand that a lot of people are asking what does HRC want

I want what I have always fought for in this whole campaign

To end the war in Iraq

Turn economy around

Health Care for every American

Every child live up to his potential

I want the 18 million people who voted for me to be respected heard and no longer invisible

I have an old fashioned notion that public service is about helping people solve their problems and live their own dreams this country has given me opportunity and thats what I want for every single american

That’s why I want Universal health care

It’s a fight I’ll continue until every single american has health care

Been fighting to create new jobs

…
I want to restore America’s leadership in the world strong and smart foreign policy join with allies

They are the lifeblood of my campaign ad they will continue to be the causes of my life.

    I’m sure Hillary will be disappointed, but with such effort and an end comes also relief and a sense of being one with our circumstance, environment, in the moment, etc. I’ve felt that on several occasions, and it is a quiet, mildly intoxicating feeling of having just been empowered in a new way.

    There are things left for her to do, for she controls a boatload of delegates not yet released. She can advocate for issues, she can advocate for issues important to women, and she can take a place having earned respect that was in some ways lacking a year ago.

    At that time, it was quite common to hear rants about how she handled the Bill/Monica issue, how she handled health care. You don’t hear that any longer, she has proven herself a worthy candidate.

    I totally agree, Nelle. Thanks for commenting. I have to say, it’s sad – it’s really a little sad. It’s the right result – I don’t challenge it. But it’s too bad. I’m reading about her phone call today with NY folks re: she’ll consider VP and she wants to figure out how to leave race and the sense from people in on the call that she is 1000% behind winning the White House. And I absolutely believe that.

    Frankly, I think her stock is only going to go up now.

    Trust me. Her stock did NOT go up with that speech. A concession so that we could move forward in unity would have been better.

    Eric – which listeners are you talking about? I think you’re referring to Obama supporters. But they aren’t the ones that matter at this moment – they’re in, done, over, got what they wanted.

    Now – it’s Clinton getting her supporters to believe that whatever is next for her is okay with her and will be fine for them too. So it is in their eyes that her stock must be seen as increasing in value. Those supporters think she’s been devalued and is devalued unless she’s on the top of the ticket. But she’s a realist and knows that’s not happening AND she knows, as a realist, that she has to get her supporters to accept something less without feeling that it’s a devaluation – no matter what Obama supporters or anyone else for that matter might say.
