TRANSCRIPT of HILLARY’S SPEECH
–Videos provided by Crooks & Liars–
“I endorse him and throw my full support being him.” – Senator Hillary Clinton
Tour de force.
Stunning.
The best speech of Senator Hillary Clinton’s political career.
I’ve written a piece about the campaign season. “How’d she lose to this guy?” is up over at Pajamas Media. It’s my impression of the entire campaign season. It includes an ending that I believe gives the bottom line of where we are today.
Hillary Clinton did what she needed today and then some. No reservations. No pauses. Complete commitment.
Hillary is a better candidate today and all I can do is dream about tomorrow. I stand by her today, tomorrow, anywhere, any time, any year. Today and tomorrow that requires me to do everything I can to defeat John McCain, and make sure Barack Obama is elected president in November. That’s exactly what I intend to do.
UPDATE: Obama’s response to Clinton’s endorsement, complete with a link for his supporters to thank her too. Also see Obama’s “thank you” page.
“Obviously, I am thrilled and honored to have Senator Clinton’s support. But more than that, I honor her today for the valiant and historic campaign she has run. She shattered barriers on behalf of my daughters and women everywhere, who now know that there are no limits to their dreams. And she inspired millions with her strength, courage and unyielding commitment to the cause of working Americans. Our party and our country are stronger because of the work she has done throughout her life, and I’m a better candidate for having had the privilege of competing with her in this campaign. No one knows better than Senator Clinton how desperately America and the American people need change, and I know she will continue to be in the forefront of that battle this fall and for years to come,” said U.S. Senator Barack Obama.
