I’ve been watching Hillary Clinton’s speech from the Democratic National Convention in 2008 and feeling really sad, remembering how much of an amazing, hopeful time this was. I still have no regrets voting for her in the primaries and I know plenty of people who regret now that they didn’t choose her. As intense as the campaigns were, and as much as she and Obama made each other better candidates, this address from months after her concession has got to be her greatest moment. Remember what it was like when there was no Palin, no tea party, and how many inspirational figures there were under that roof that week – Hillary and Bill, Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, John Kerry, Michelle and Barack Obama. And if you ever forget just how important this party is for the country, and are thinking about staying home in November on Election Day, just watch this video.
Skip to 23 minutes for the part where she brings up suffrage and quotes Harriet Tubman. Fucking amazing.

it's a good speech. But I'm not sure it would have been any better
Good speech... problem is that this party needs to get their head out of their ass and start listening to the country. Sad :-(
but seems they only care about their paycheck and not anyone else.
The WHOLE gov needs to me wiped out and start all over.
Just my opinion... they are all crooks and liars...Oh wait.. they are lawyers
HA HA. Suck it Libtard.
I don't quite understand how you can declare Bill C. as inspirational, when he began his Presidency by throwing us under the DADT bus and ended it by throwing us under the DOM bus. Not to mention his toadying up to the right wing with his 'welfare to work' nonsense, not to mention lying to Congress about 'that woman' nor his attempt to start a mini-conflict, bombing manufacturers of veterinary pharmaceuticals in the Middle East, to distract the media from his fun and games with clit and cigar in the Oval Office.
Nonetheless, it's telling that comment #3, a puerile jibe, is 'anonymous'. Aren't they always?
