    • Ted Kennedy's speech.

      Posted by Jeff from Feeds.feedburner

      The drawn out primary battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton has split Democrats as bitterly as the 1980 challenge by Sen. Edward Kennedy to President Jimmy Carter. Carter prevailed to win the nomination against GOP nominee Ronald Reagan, but the August convention in New York is remembered mainly for Kennedy's rousing concession speech (see below and the following 3 pages). The only thing anyone remembers about Carter's acceptance speech is that he slipped and called Hubert H. Humphrey, a hallowed party figure who'd died two years earlier, "Hubert Horatio Hornblower." The gaffe was booed and Carter lost in November. Kennedy remains in the Senate, but was diagnosed this week with a brain tumor. The prognosis remains uncertain, but at the moment Kennedy is "in good spirits and full of energy," according to his doctors.

    Clinton backs Obama and bows out

    Whew. She made me nervous there for a while. If she became president I would have became Austrailian.

    Clinton to Endorse Obama

    And yet, there will continue to be a large number of her votership claiming to speak for everyone when they insist they’ll never vote for that "empty suit"/"inadequate black man"/"socialist" – no matter how much reconciling she does now (which I honestly doubt will be much).

    Arianna Huffington: Hillary Clinton's Defeat: A Historic Triumph

    The kind of intellectual dishonesty she and Bill have used – as well as other surrogates – has been bad politics. Ineffective – and alienating except to their base. Very Rovian.

    Arianna Huffington: Hillary Clinton's Defeat: A Historic Triumph

    The intellectual dishonesty that has plagued the Clinton team over the past three months is disgusting and has confirmed all my worst fears about her as a candidate. That said, her campaign has been historic and inspirational. It’s just sad because even in defeat, it could have been so much more.
