It was a pleasure to hear Sen Clinton's emotional comeback, which is arguably one of the factors in her electoral comeback. Only the revelation that she had been coached by Actors Studio professionals could possibly be the nuke in the suitcase for this new dimension of her campaign... Conspiracy fancies apart, I felt some of the Obama's charisma in her victory speech. Particularly masterful was her transfiguration of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man into "Invisible Americans." What a sweeping reappropriation of Edwards's leitmotiv while subtly (and literarily) alluding to Obama.
