I listened to the first half of Hillary’s speech last night before I tuned out.  All week I’ve been hearing about how important this speech was going to be and it was going to be her moment.  Mostly what I felt while listening was re-affirmation of my lack of enthusiasm for her candidacy.  And when she said “my friends”, it was like nails on the chalk board - all I could do was think of McCain.

On the plus side she came out very strong saying, “No way, no how, no McCain.”  Not sure what that means but it was funny.  I also liked that she made no doubt about the stakes this election and where her delegates should go, “Barack Obama is my candidate, and he must be our President.”  Something that I expect Obama would have done had the situation been reversed, and it was him trying to convince me to vote for Hillary.

If you missed her speech you can see it (along with the dramatic intro video with Van Halen and Lenny Kravitz soundtrack) here:

And there’s always this:

UPDATE:

Bill’s speech was pretty awesome.  He actually added some steam back to my interest in the Democrats winning this election (steam I’ve loss from Obama’s voting pattern lately).
