My very favorite part?

Although we weren’t able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it’s got about 18 million cracks in it. And the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next

I only read one article about her concession to Obama, but it had this very sad, poignant line (or at least I thought it was) about her campaign: "It was the closest a woman has ever gotten to the presidency."

She had a great speech, and she should be very proud of her candidacy -- even if, like she shatter the ceiling, there's still millions of cracks in it. And that's something everyone should respect.

Whilst I have supported Obama in this campaign I am incredibly proud of Clinton for making that glass ceiling breakable. She has shown women the way to be strong and to fight for what they want, and if what they want is to be the President of the USA then that is what they should fight for. Cudos to her for everything she has achieved.

Throughout this whole competition, I couldn't decide if I'm for Senator Clinton or Senator Obama. I'm still not sure but at least now I can try to figure out if I'm okay with Obama or not. I really hope that their campaigns didn't hurt his chance of becoming US President.

Thanks for sharing the speeches. I know I wouldn't have gotten off my butt and checked the whole speech online although I was curious. They only release parts of the speeches in Germany.
