What Hillary Clinton Didn't Say
Web Resources
For Slate.com blogger Mickey Kaus, it wasn't what Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday night, so much as what she didn't say. Like guests who don't show up at a party, it only began to bother him much later — when the buzz was over — that something was absent.
In his late-night voice mail from the Democratic National Convention, he reflects on the fact that the following statements never showed up in Clinton's speech:
—"Obama won fair and square."
—"Things get a little rough in the course of a campaign, and I said some things in the heat of battle."
—"I came to respect Barack Obama for his epic judgment and legislative skills."
—"He's ready to lead as commander in chief."
