Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton deferred her own dreams on Tuesday night and delivered an emphatic plea at the Democratic National Convention to unite behind her rival, Barack Obama no matter what ill will lingered.
Declaring herself to be 'a proud supporter of Barack Obama' Mrs. Clinton urged Democrats to put aside their loyalty to her and unite behind Mr. Obama- or risk continuing Bush administrative policies under the presumptive Republican nominee, Senator John McCain.
With delegates waving banners that read 'Hillary' or 'Obama' on one side and 'Unity' on the other, Mrs. Clinton encouraged supporters to rally behind Mr. Obama for the sake of struggling Americans.
It's not just about politics' she said, referring to the distinctive struggles women face as candidates. Her tone broke from its determined cadence and became for a second, slower and almost hushed. 'It's really personal' she said.
Hillary Clinton, however kept the door open to a future bid for the Presidency. This time, she has been gracious in defeat.
