You said it in a nutshell. Hillary can't win this election for Obama. He has to win it himself for himself. It's like a guy who is courting a woman and has all his friends and family and her family tell her what a wonderful husband he would make and how she should marry him, but he doesn't want to take the time to look her in the eye and tell her "this is who I am, this is what I believe, this is what I want in life, and I want to share it with you and have you as a partner by my side. Will you marry me?" Until he is willing to do that, nothing anyone else says matters. Obama can't close the deal because he doesn't want to look into our eyes and tell us who he is and what he believes in and what he wants for us. He can tell us what he wants for himself. But he can't say what he wants FOR us is not on his agenda, what he wants FROM us is. And he knows it will show if he tries to fake it. That's why he can't close the deal. He is expecting Hillary and Biden and all his surrogates to win our votes for him, but he must win them for himself. Surrogates can reinforce what is already there or lay the groundwork for him, but Obama must close the deal himself. Hillary gave one of the most brilliant speeches yet. She was presidential. She was committed. And she was asking us to commit ourselves to our common goals, or what she believes is Obama's common goals with her and us. I'm not convinced that is the case yet. I believe that Hillary believes, but I don't believe Obama.
