speeches

Watching the Clinton and Obama speeches tonight, I can't help but notice the shift in rhetoric. Both candidates have shifted to a conciliatory tone that honors their accomplishments. To wit: "I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton." Fascinating.

Crazy coincidence: "What Did I Do (To Be So Black and Blue)?" just came on my iTunes. For those who don't get the reference, look up Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.
