What Hillary Forgot to Say

Is it just me, or did Hillary keep a bargaining chip for herself in her speech? For all the positive coverage, what she didnt say tells me so much more than what she did.

She DID talk about herself, using the first person 64 times. She DID endorse Sen Obama, though only mentioning him 2 times. How many times did she mention Sen McCain?

0. Nada. Not once.

This from the woman who can turn a phrase and throw a dagger with a smile on her face.

So why didnt she address Sen McCain? Isnt that what this is all about? Arent her supporters closer ideologically to Obama than McCain? Isnt that really the last bit of capitol she has to spend on this election? Her last bargaining chip?

Tells me she is holding out for something. Not VP. AG? SCOTUS? Sec of State? There's no way she's going back to the Senate without something, cause they aren't waiting with open arms there, either.

So was she running for the country or for herself? Seems like an obvious answer to me.

Sorry Clintons. Your way of doing politics is what we voted against. Now please go home and think about what you've done - and have yet to do.
