In addition to HRC’s carefully chosen words, I thought the TV commentators were also in her camp. I watched the lead up to her speech on NBC.

The overall feeling that I got from the commentators was that they knew, not just hoped, that “something” might happen. IIRC, there were words to the effect of “*IF* she can persuade her people to support Obama.” This was reapeated over and over and over.

The other theme, constantly harped on was “If HRC, who? If not now, when?” This was in reference to a woman President.

I felt like I was being propagandized both to accept (or demand) a woman President and to want one RIGHT NOW. And who might that obvious choice be?

That was supposed to read “If not HRC, who? If not now, when?”

"...there were words to the effect of '*IF* she can persuade her people to support Obama.' "

That could be just the media doing what they do best: creating conflict in order to keep tense viewers glued to their station.
