Missing the Clintons

Joking! Or rather, it's something of a double entendre. They're replaying Obama's speech on MSNBC right now, and he gave a particular thank you to Hillary Clinton. Having watched the post-speech coverage, it's clear Obama's speech was so powerful that it made reporters, who really liked this easy story, forget all about the Clinton controversy that was the story of the first two days of the convention. Whatever else he did (and this "else" is really what matters), Obama bested the Clintons tonight. I, for one, appreciate anyone who makes them negligible, and so appreciate Obama.
