HILLARY CLINTON….Ezra Klein on Hillary Clinton’s upcoming convention speech:
For what it’s worth, my hunch is Clinton will own the convention. What she needs to do in this speech is so easy and so obvious and will be greeted with such gratitude by the Democratic Party and such rapturous coverage by the media that it’s almost inconceivable that she’ll pass up the opportunity to be the hero.
I agree, and I’ll be shocked if she does anything else. She is going to praise Barack Obama to the skies and rip John McCain several new bodily orifices. There’s just no way she’s dumb enough to do anything else.
UPDATE: Yep, she came through with flying colors.
