Bill Bradley Nails It

Bill Bradley: "[Hillary's] symtomatic of what I call the old politics... There have been conscious misrepresentations of [Obama's] positions and it's very clear in the areas and it's been fully reported. And it doesn't go remarked, so I thought I'd call it what it is...

...[Obama] represents a new kind of politics and he has a whole new generation of Americans that are involved in this. His whole effort is to tell people the truth and put country ahead of party. He appeals to Independents, to Republicans. He's won more delegates and more popular vote than any other candidate in the race. And he sees that the American people want someone to be positive, they want them to lay out where the direction is that the country should go, and to convey to them that we can get there...

When most politicians speak and the spotlight shines on them, they swell. But when Barack speaks and the light shines on him, he reflects the light back on the people and empowers them, because he knows that if he's going to defeat the special interests in Washington, he's going to need the people, not simply for their vote but for the long term.

That is a new kind of politics and that's been the narrative of this campaign from the very beginning."
