POLITICAL JUNK | Hillary Finally Concedes

hillary_Concedes.jpg
On Saturday afternoon, Hillary Clinton finally conceded the Democratic Presidential nomination to Barack Obama.

Her speech started off pretty poorly, but then she shifted gears and gave Obama a sincere endorsement. It seems she tried to fit a bunch of different topics into her final campaign speech. She did work hard to get her supporters to back Obama, but most of it was about herself and how wonderful she is and how she's brilliant and blah blah blah.

That was always the biggest difference. Obama talked about everyone. Clinton talked about herself. Obama said "We are the ones we've been waiting for." Hillary said, "I cracked the glass ceiling." As if Obama didn't as well.

Beyond that, the speech actually was one of Hillary's best in that it was her most openly liberal. She came across as a true feminist, she actually said "gay" (a word she had avoided troughout the campaign unlike Obama) and she talked about unity and working for a better tomorrow. A theme she should have based her entire campaign on instead of her Rove-esque approach to campaigning.

In the end, Hillary was able to keep the spotlight on herself for a bit longer. The best thing for Clinton to now do is step into the background and let Obama run his national campaign.

On the Republican side, the GOP just launched a new website called "Clinton vs Obama," which hopes to let Hillary's words do all their dirty work.

telex:

Everything with those on the left has to deal with gender, race, sexuality, it's sickening. People are lumped together based on superficialities, there is never, ever an emphasis on the individual. It's all outward appearances, subcultures, background, heritage, race, gender, most of which in the genuine scope of life is meaningless compared to the spirit of the individual.

telex you really freak me out. seriously. im dying to meet you.
