HILLARY CLINTON FOLLOWUP….Hillary, as we all know, isn’t a naturally great speaker, but she did good tonight. She gave a great speech that pumped up the crowd, told her supporters in no uncertain terms to vote for Obama, and included an attack line that even my wife thought was pretty zingy (rough, from memory):

“It’s fitting that John McCain and George Bush will be meeting in the Twin Cities next week, because it’s getting pretty hard to tell them apart.”

A pretty good job, I’d say. As usual, I have no idea how your average couch potato is going to react to it, but I liked it.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
