8. It is odd though and he needs to step back and let Hillary be the focus.
I'm sorry but I think he is overshadowing her. He certainly has over the past week.

9. Don't interfere with the truth. They only hear Obama's truth.
Haven't they just been validated by the pundits and the WHOLE WORLD?

13. Oh, come on - can you not admit that he is overshadowing her? It
may have just been a fluke of timing but it is odd and I don't think it helps her.

15. He conceded. Therefore, it's a concession speech.
That's how they work.

6. At least he's not wearing an ugly yellow jacket.
Thank God for small favors.

But yes...why is he speaking?

10. I believe this is Bill Clintons attempt at a 3rd term
I just hope if Hillary wins she will revers 2 of Bills biggest mistakes...NAFTA and China trade.

12. You really didn't think Hill was going to stand up there and eat crow
did you? They're pretending that they didn't lose, just ignoring it and the 500K voters who turned out in record numbers today in S.C.

By the way, it sounds as if Bill is using Edwards campaign lines.

14. She will be speaking later tonight.
The media is the one who is showing Bill speaking at a rally in a high school. People don't really give concession speeches after primaries. She has already called and congratulated Obama and she is off to Tennessee to focus on Super Tuesday. There are only 45 delegates in SC and 440 in California, just to name one of the states up for grabs. She did not look worried tonight when they showed her on t.v. This horse race has just begun folks. Lets not get carried away.

16. I heard Candy Crowley reading
a statement issued by Hillary. I wonder if that was supposed to pass as a concession speech. x(
