Given that she'd just picked up a high profile endorsement, Clinton led with piles of McGovern praise. "He is above all a patriot, and someone the U.S. should thank," she said after citing the bomber pilot biography points.
Much of the rest of the speech was a laundry list of issues, with some Bush-bashing thrown in. There was a little non-disruptive heckling, as Clinton discussed ending the war and one peace person shouted "you voted for it." John Edwards might have reacted and said "I did and I was wrong," but Hillary Clinton kept going.

The speech wrapped up with the standard stump disclaimer: I'm not running to be the first woman president, I'm running because I'm the most qualified, but I hear the parents telling the daughters "you can be anything you want."
The Rock Star Surge followed Clinton as she left through the audience, shaking hands for at least a half hour. Back at the stage, Flaherty and vice chair James Moody tried to announce "wait, the program's not over," but even the sound guy had switched off the power.
