Hillary is speaking now from Youngstown. She's talking about the loan she made to her campaign. "If we pull together we can do this." She's asking them to go to her website where she has her issues posted. She's not mentioning the page also starts with a contribution request. But, she says, "With your help" we can win.

She talks about why she's better equipped to be commander in chief and that she's stood up to say that women's rights are human rights. She's ready to end the war in Iraq and the era of cowboy diplomacy. One of us will provide health care for every American. It's a right not a privilege and I won't rest until every American is covered. Theme of the speech, "One of Us has a plan."

CNN puts Obama on next to her, he's going to speak at the same time. They are going to cut off Hillary to go to Obama.

Analysis and updates below:

First thoughts: The economy. Wisconsin has a thing about NAFTA and Obama owned that issue and pushed it. It trumped health care and really must have resonated with the voters, particularly the white males.

McCain's speech: Direct attack on Obama's inexperience.

Queston: Will Hillary's major donor base start drying up now? Will her supporters keep giving via the website?

I'm signing off for now. I have nothing good to say so I think I'll just say nothing for a while.
