Obama: Hillary Is An "Outstanding" Public Servant, And I'm "Proud" To Have Campaigned Against Her
This is interesting. When Hillary said the other day that she was "honored" to have campaigned against Obama, multiple pundits read it as a valedictory speech on her part, a recognition that the campaign is drawing to a close.
Now Obama has sounded similar tones, saying in his debate closer tonight:
You know, there is still a lot of fight going on in this contest. We’ve got four coming up and maybe more after that. But the one thing I’m absolutely clear about is: Senator Clinton has campaigned magnificently, she is an outstanding public servant, and I’m very proud to have been campaigning with her.
It's hard not to read this comment as a kind of a bookend to Hillary's earlier remarks: He seems to be suggesting that this thing is all over, he knows it, and it's time to let her go down to defeat gracefully.
