Hillary's Historic Final Primary Speech (Video)


It was a very gracious and moving speech. I didn't want it to be the last one. After her victory in the South Dakota primary -- the final primary of her historic campaign -- Terry McAuliffe introduced Hillary Rodham Clinton to the cheering crowd as "the next president of the United States of America!"

The crowd roared. Hillary asked her supporters to advise her by e-mail on what she should do next. At various times, the crowd erupted into deafening shouts of: Denver! Denver! Denver!

Hillary's Historic Final Primary Speech

There were no television monitors on the premises. The media didn't like that. The pundits complained bitterly. They didn't understand the sheer joy of shutting them out!!
