In Ohio Victory Speech, Hillary Quickly Hits Comeback-Kid Theme

It's been a long time since Hillary delivered a victory speech, and she is clearly relishing it right now in her victory speech in Ohio. She wasted no time hitting the comeback-kid theme hard in her first words:

For everyone here in Ohio and across America who's ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, and for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up, this one is for you.

Also noteworthy: She said that she congratulated Senator McCain on his victory tonight, and noted that she looks forward to a "spirited debate" with him. Of course, there are a few more Dem primary contests -- not to mention Obama's big pledged-delegate lead -- that she'll have to get past first.

More of the speech soon.

Late Late Update: In the speech Hillary slips in a bit of mockery of Obama's "hope" rhetoric:

Together we will turn promises into action, words into solutions, and hope into reality.
