For Senator Clinton’s speech today, see Roxie’s World for on-the-scene reportage , including some really nice photos of their very own. I don’t have anything to add to Roxie’s nice overview and commentary, so go there and enjoy . Thanks, Roxie, for your intrepid on-the-scene activism, reporting, and photography these past two weekends.Â
Please try to avoid the patronizing commentary about the speech . (And is anyone else tired of hearing the word “graceful,” with its obviously gendered connotations? Why not just cut to the chase and say “ladylike?” Jerkoffs.) UPDATE : Read Digby instead .
See you at the next rodeo, Roxie.

Well, we found out a few things tonight:
One, Ted Strickland looks like a great candidate for Vice President if Hillary Clinton is indeed the Democratic nominee. Two, Obama should drop out immediately because continuing his campaign is divisive and hurting party unity . My math (see above) proves conclusively that he can’t win the nomination without the Superdelegates . (Kidding! Well, except for the Ted Strickland as V.P. part. Ohio’s a must-wi...

Clinton, Obama, and McCain campaign teams take note: here is some truly excellent propaganda by Paul Revere–238 years later, it still works. (Please note the blanching or erasure of Crispus Attucks , the first American to die in a confrontation with British soldiers in the American Revolution, who was in fact of African and Algonquian ancestry.)
