Hillary Clinton sent the following email to her supporters last night:
Standing on that stage tonight in front of 20,000 Democrats unified behind Senator Obama, I saw a bright future for America. I saw millions of people across the country working as one to elect the next Democratic President. I saw a new President and a new Congress giving a voice to the voiceless. I saw America, the land of endless potential, regaining its role as a leader in the world.I asked in last night's open thread if Hillary would do her part to unify the party. I think she did that last night, mentioning Obama 12 times in her speech last night. I see emails like this as indicators that Hillary has set the tone that it's time to come together. It's now up to Obama to win over the 1 in 5 Clinton voters pre-convention supporting McCain. Rep. Clyburn has been on MSNBC and CNN this morning saying exactly that - and he's right.
I couldn't be prouder of our party, of our nominee, and of all the work you and I have done together over the course of this campaign on behalf of the American people.
I knew that as I stood in front of that podium, I wasn't alone. I had you, and everyone who has supported me, standing right up there with me. And that means the world to me.
Thank you again for everything you've done. Now let's get to work helping elect Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and all of our great Democratic candidates!
Sincerely,
Hillary
