Hillary Clinton: ‘No way, No how, No McCain’
After a really well put together video montage, Hillary’s speech tonight was the most resounding endorsement of Barack Obama to date. I mean… it was stunning. Like my reaction to Ted Kennedy’s speech, I don’t have the words.
Hillary came out swinging. She hit every point and, my god, did she slam McCain and Bush.
Highlights:
“I haven’t spent the past 35 years in the trenches, advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women’s rights here at home and around the world to see another Republican in the White House squander our promise of a country that really fulfills the hopes of our people.
And you haven’t worked so hard over the last 18 months or endured the last eight years to suffer through more failed leadership.
No way, no how, no McCain.
Barack Obama is my candidate, and he must be our president.”
“I want you — I want you to ask yourselves: Were you in this campaign just for me, or were you in it for that young Marine and others like him?
Were you in it for that mom struggling with cancer while raising her kids?
Were you in it for that young boy and his mom surviving on the minimum wage?
Were you in it for all the people in this country who feel invisible?”
“John McCain says the economy is fundamentally sound. John McCain doesn’t think 47 million people without health insurance is a crisis. John McCain wants to privatize Social Security. And in 2008, he still thinks it’s OK when women don’t earn equal pay for equal work.
Now, with an agenda like that, it makes perfect sense that George Bush and John McCain will be together next week in the Twin Cities, because these days they’re awfully hard to tell apart.”
