		<description>I found her speech both defiant and touching (when she spoke of some of the poor wretches she met on the campaign trail.) But ultimately, as it always seems to have been in the last 5 months, last night was about HER, all about HER. She further rankled me by mentioning that we need to get out of Iraq (WHY did she vote to get into the conflict?) That a man like Barack won, and that win had historic significance, appears to have been lost on her. I believe that she is continuing to stir up that hornet&#039;s net of core followers of hers by inviting them to write and tell her what they want her to do (any guesses on how many write &quot;Denver, Denver!&quot;) Jesus. On the other hand Obama&#039;s speech was elegant and generous and truly beautiful...if the Hillary people don&#039;t &quot;get him&quot; (and I suspect that the Clinton&#039;s just don&#039;t &quot;get him&quot;) it is their loss.

Anyway, Kyle, I think that there are a lot of lessons to be learned in this election cycle.  A question must be asked how Clinton still won SD despite the fact that almost every person in America, even the low information voters of Clinton&#039;s wet dreams, knew the race was over, and that Obama would be the nominee. This is troubling me this morning more than her failure to concede. Was it the fact that Clinton is white that was driving her successes?  Her Message? (Obama&#039;s message was essentially a duplicate of her own, and certainly her delivery of it was no more eloquent that his.) Was it the fact that once Clinton targeted a State with &quot;her&quot; demographic that all 3 Clintons essentially camped in that State until the primary? Would the populist Edwards performed just as well as Clinton in these States if he had contested those primaries? As I&#039;ve said in a previous post, rather than selling &quot;change,&quot; Clinton was selling &quot;nostalgia,&quot; how effective was that? So many questions, important questions, that must be answered by Fall, IMO.</description>
