And really not praising President Carter and all who -- loss to for the nomination mostly about Ted Kennedy agenda. And so electable warring wondering what she would say but she set everything they hope to say should not only -- did it help Barack Obama it certainly helped Hillary Clinton -- and if nothing else that had to have helped unify the party because that's what some Democrats are nervous about and ...
[0:03:21] ... McCain for president. And that's well I think she said -- I'm Hillary Clinton and I don't endorse that message. I don't approve that message exactly and if that if there's any doubt about where she stands there with a race last night on the stage it was it was forcefully it was funny with the best speech. I think she's ever given or at least I've ever heard her give in all her years in political life and it was again. A lot of you know a lot of Democrats before -- saying well I still can't come over Obama the the -- of the rules were rigged we were cheated out of the nomination allow us this hard feelings. It seemed like everybody on the clintons that side was upset except for Hillary Clinton herself.

[0:10:47] ... Biden the new. Vice presidential nominee it takes the stage along with Bill Clinton and let less clear what Bill Clinton's going to have to -- Right with Joe Biden is clear I think guys everybody agrees the first three hours of Jabbar and speech are always going to less dynamic I think everybody jury that the most but I you know. As Hillary Clinton made it clear how she feels about about Barack Obama and again at a tremendous speech last night is more question about Bill Clinton because his remarks. About Barack Obama have been far more tepid. Far more reserved. That his wife -- you know if anybody seems to be most upset. About the result of the democratic nomination who the democratic nominee will be it seems to be more Bill Clinton so. It will be very interesting to see his reaction. His body language -- ...
[0:11:37] ... if he addresses that question. Tonight there's been some Republican criticism that. Hillary Clinton did not address that question directly. Last night so -- he becomes up tonight in in the address by former President Clinton ...

And I sensed that -- that the the comfort level a lot of people talking about you know John McCain for higher perhaps picking Mitt Romney. They don't seem to have that comfort -- Romney and nine McCain. Went after each other during the primaries.
