Speech receives largely positive feedback

HILLARY CLINTON’S speech to Democratic delegates gathered in Denver received extremely positive reviews in yesterday’s newspapers.

On its front page, the Los Angeles Times reported Clinton accepted “defeat with grace and generosity,” and “moved to close the divide among fellow Democrats by offering a forceful and unequivocal endorsement of her fierce rival“.

The New York Times reported that Clinton “deferred her own dreams on Tuesday night and delivered an emphatic plea at the Democratic National Convention to unite behind her rival, Senator Barack Obama, no matter what ill will lingers”.
