Clinton gives unity address at national convention

I stayed up a little later than usual last night to catch a great speech by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton at the Democratic National Convention. It was a great speech. Here is one part of it.

Clinton campaign sends out message of optimism nationwide

The Hillary Clinton campaign sent supporters nationwide a message last night. In her message, Clinton said, "After tonight's tremendous victory here in West Virginia, it's clear that the pundits declaring this race over have it wrong. The voters in West Virginia spoke loud and clear -- they want this contest to go on."

Clinton noted that her campaign is moving to Kentucky and Oregon, where she will continue to send her message to voters.

Clinton sends message out to supporters

In the midst of the Clinton-Obama fight in the Democratic Party, it appears as if the battle will go on. This is despite the fact that many Demcorats believe the two candidates should figure out some middle ground.

Here is a message that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton sent out to her supporters today:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, in every way that I know how, I am expressing my personal determination to keep forging forward in this campaign.

After our come-from-behind victory in Indiana, there are just 28 days of voting left. But we've never campaigned with the stakes as high or the time as short as they will be over the next four weeks.

And with you by my side, I'm going to keep fighting for what I believe in until every voter has had his or her say.

From the very beginning, you and I have counted on one another, working through every challenge and seizing every opportunity. That's not just the way our campaign works. That's the way America works.

As we enter the final four weeks of this contest, let's keep working our hearts out.

In six days, we have the chance to show our strength in West Virginia. If you'll stand with me, it's an opportunity I intend to make the most of.

There's no question about it -- we've got to make every one of these next 28 days count -- starting with today.

Why won't Hillary just call it a day?

The Boston Globe's Don Payne wrote a great article about why he thinks Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton just will not quit. At this point in the game, many Democrats are pondering that exact question. Click on the headline to go to the article at Boston.com.
