HRC: "No way. No how. No McCain." (How Did Sue Castner Respond?)

U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton gave a powerful statement of support for Barack Obama and also reminded Americans about what is really at stake this election year.

I am honored to be here tonight. A proud mother. A proud Democrat. A proud American. And a proud supporter of Barack Obama.

My friends, it is time to take back the country we love.

Whether you voted for me or voted for Barack, the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose. We are on the same team, and none of us can sit on the sidelines.

This is a fight for the future. And it’s a fight we must win.

I haven’t spent the past 35 years in the trenches advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women’s rights at home and around the world ... to see another Republican in the White House squander the promise of our country and the hopes of our people.

And you haven’t worked so hard over the last 18 months, or endured the last eight years, to suffer through more failed leadership.

No way. No how. No McCain.

Barack Obama is my candidate. And he must be our president.

Senator Clinton said what Democrats needed to hear. 

I wonder if Portlander Sue Castner heard the speech?  Senator Clinton said:

I want you to ask yourselves: Were you in this campaign just for me? Or were you in it for that young Marine and others like him? Were you in it for that mom struggling with cancer while raising her kids? Were you in it for that boy and his mom surviving on the minimum wage? Were you in it for all the people in this country who feel invisible?

Well, Ms. Castner, I have to ask:  As Senator Clinton asked, were you in it for her or were you working for a better America?  I hope that answer is clear in your head.
