Hillary PA Speech Analysis (A Good Speech)

On the whole, I think that Hillary delivered a good victory speech last night in PA (transcript).

• She directly addressed the all important super delegates and the question of electability immediately.
• "It's a long road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and it runs right through the heart of Pennsylvania."
• She used John Edwards populist-fighting language to appeal to and strengthen her core consistency.
• "I'm in this race to fight for you"
• "And you deserve a champion who stands with you.
• She sounded conciliatory
  
• "This is a historic race. And I commend Senator Obama and his supporters tonight."
• She tapped the feminist card
• "We are, in many ways, all on this journey together to create an America that embraces every last one of us, the women in their 90s who tell me they were born before women could vote. And they're hopeful of seeing a woman in the White House. The mothers and fathers at my events who lift their little girls on their shoulders and whisper in their ears, 'See, you can be anything you want.'"
• She made a fundraising request
• "Now, we can only keep winning if we can keep competing with an opponent who outspends us so massively, so I hope you'll go to HillaryClinton.com"
• She included a powerful narrative
• "Not long ago -- not long ago, a woman handed me a photograph of her father as a young soldier. He was receiving the Medal of Honor from President Truman at the White House. During World War II, he had risked his life on a daring mission to drive back the enemy and protect his fellow soldiers. In the corner of that photo, in shaking handwriting, this American hero had simply written, "To Hillary Clinton, keep fighting for us."
