Hillary's Speech

By Jeralyn

CNN says Hillary Clinton is expected to address her supporters shortly. I'll live-blog when it happens.

Not too long ago my opponent made a prediction. I would win PA, he would win North Carolina, Indiana would be the tiebreaker.

We've broken the tie and now it's full speed onto the White house.

Talks about gas problems, "tonight is your victory right here."

Commends Obama on N.C. win but "we are on same journey." It began long before we were born. Tonight once again I need your help to continue our journey. More...

She asks for contributions, go to HillaryClinton.com.

This is a touching moment for me. I grew up in Chicago and surrounding area. Talks about her mother from Scranton, PA.

I have met so many people who feel invisible. You feel invisible when gas and groceries cost so much and have health insurance problems.

I know how hard you are working for yourselves and family and I will never stop working for you.

Shouts of Hillary, Hillary interrupt her.

Talks about gas prices again. Time for a break from the tax. To freeze foreclosures. To give everyone health insurance.

Americans need a champion in their corner.

She looks really poised and sounds totally energized.

Says the race is really close.I can assure you that no matter what happens I will work for the nominee because we must win in November. Shouts of Yes we will.

Says Obama feels the same way. Everone should realize what's at stake in this elections.

Talks about veterans. This journey has been a blessing for her. I know what this journey has meant to me, and I know what it means for you. We must ensure it is here for our grandchildren. I will never give up on you.

Thanks the people of Indiana and Evan Bayh. Thanks people of NOrth Carolina and Gov. Mike Easley.

While we are celebrating tonight, I want to express sympathy for people in Myamar. Calls on them to let world come in to help.

Now it is on to W. Va and Kentucky and the other states. We've let them slip out of Democratic column, it's time to take them back.

I am going to work hard to win them this month and in the general election in November.

We have to count Florida and Michigan. Crowd chants. Says it would be wierd (not her word)to have an election with only 48 states. I will keep going.

We can be the can do nation. There's nothing we can't do,

Huge hugs from Bill and Chelsea. They are clapping.

CNN says still too close to call Indiana with 86% of the vote in.
