I'm not a dem. But have to say how good her speech was.
I started the campaign liking Obama more but after seeing all of facts and accomplishments of Obama (none) I'm so proud of her. After going through what she went through with the Monica Lewinsky case and still trying to go for president in a mens world is really something.
I still would vote for a Rep. because I don't agree with many things, but the way she handled her self.
I still believe the governement should stay out of the housing crisis, etc.

Yup, she made a great speech, no doubt about it.

It was a significant victory - though I doubt it was enough.

I'm not a Hill or Obama fan, would not vote for them. But, as a woman, I admire her for getting in there and toughing it out with the big boys of presidential politics. She is tough.

Hillary lost over 14% of her base in just over a month. It is incredible to watch an established brand lose to a junior Senator and consider it a victory. Her speech was one which brings little to mind (or remembrance) except tone.
Her tone represented the arrogance of one who feels she is entitled to something she shouldn't have to work for. The tone of her politics as well as her strategy appears to be one which will divide the democratic party beyond repair for this political season and as a former republican she has exemplified a loyalty to her roots which says if I can't have it I'll burn it to the ground. As an Independent the one good thing about watching her is seeing the birth of a third party system. Hillary Clinton's politics are single handedly lending credence to the the long discussed need for another major party. The era of the entitlement party and it's politics is slipping, and it's incredible to watch it in my lifetime.

Sounds you are really in a depression being a realtor/broker and listening to the bad housing market all day and not hearing a great speech. I'm not a dem. but can seperate my ideas from others and still hear a good speech.
By the way as far as I heard the difference was 55% to Obama 45%, so if I count well that is 10% not 9%.

Fortunately I'm neither depressed nor do I listen to bad housing market news. Any Broker who understands the market knows the law of balance. We also understand that if it's great for the buyers it's probably bad for the sellers. Sounds like you need my expert advice.

Check again...the actuals are what those of interested in numbers rely upon, but I wouldn't want to over-correct you.

As an Independent I am also quite capable of reserving my judgment until later and am quite adept at understanding what I am hearing as well as the intent of what is said. You may wish to replay the speech to catch all of the nuances.
