Obama emerged with his family just after 11. "They said this day would never come," he began. He didn't mention race. He didn't have to.

He hit the unity theme hard, red states and blue states, hope over fear. Taking back the government. It was a serious speech, not a self-congratulatory one, an oration punctuated by a smile only when he thanked "the love of my life," Michelle. His only reference to civil rights was to Selma and Montgomery in a litany of great American events, leading into his reference to "a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas."

"That was a goose-bump moment for me," Gene Robinson said of the speech on MSNBC.

Hillary could not have reached those rhetorical heights, even if she had won. That's just a fact. She's just built
differently as a candidate.
