Clinton: 'If you're ready, I'm ready'

Excerpts from Hillary Rodham Clinton's victory speech last night in Philadelphia:

For me, the victory we share tonight is deeply personal. It was here in Pennsylvania where my grandfather started work as a boy in the lace mills and ended up as a supervisor five decades later. It was here where my father attended college and played football for Penn State. And I am back here tonight because of their hard work and sacrifice. And I only wish they could have lived to see this moment, because in this election I carry with me not just their dreams, but the dreams of people like them and like you all across our country. . . .

You know, the pundits question whether Pennsylvanians would trust me with this charge and tonight you showed you do. You know you can count on me to stand up strong for you every single day in the White House. . . .

Tonight, more than ever, I need your help to continue this journey. This is your campaign and this is your victory tonight. Your support has meant the difference between winning and losing. We can only keep winning if we can keep competing with an opponent who outspends us so massively. So, I hope you'll go to HillaryClinton.com and show your support tonight because the future of this campaign is in your hands. . . .

Some people counted me out and said to drop out, but the American people don't quit and they deserve a president who doesn't quit either. . . .

We were up against a formidable opponent who outspent us 3-1. He broke every spending record in this state trying to knock us out of the race. Well, the people of Pennsylvania had other ideas tonight. . . .

We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but if you're ready, I'm ready. I might stumble and I might get knocked down, but as long as you'll stand with me I will always get right back up. Because for me, in the end, the question isn't whether we can keep America's promise, it's whether we will keep America's promise.

Bob Ford: Long before the trade deadline, team president Dave Montgomery said, "Shame on us if we sit back and say, 'Everything is fine.' " Well, they went ahead and did just that, didn't they?
OPINION
IT'S SAFE TO SAY that Democrats awoke yesterday with a serious case of Post-Palin Depression. "Electrifying!" said U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter of Palin's poised and feisty speech that had Republican conventioneers swooning.
