In my write-up of Hillary Clinton's speech I rebuked her mildly for not offering any personal testimonials on Obama's behalf. I was waiting to hear something along the lines of what Joe Biden did last night, about how he learned about Obama's integrity while campaigning against him. Bill also was much more effusive about Obama personally than Hillary was.
But maybe Hillary didn't do that for a reason. Maybe she and Bill decided together that, given some of her harsh criticisms of Obama over the course of the primary campaign, too much personal praise from her would have come across as phony. So they left that to Bill.
Two people suggested this to me yesterday. One of them was my older sister, here from Ohio for a couple speaking gigs, who hasn't been wrong about anything since I think September 1969. So it must be true!
