Hillary Clinton officially suspended her campaign.

We could go on and on and on about how and why she lost. For that, I suggest you read this article. She conceded in a graceful fashion by making a very flattering speech for Barack Obama. I still think that Obama doesn't carry the change he pretends to represent but I support him anyway.

I don't know what Hillary did in her previous life, but it probably wasn't pretty. After failing to install universal health care in 1993, then being humiliated worldwide after the Lewinski scandal in 1998, now she's failing at a nomination that everybody thought she would easily get. The tone of her campaign didn't make her more popular among Americans, far from it.

The campaign ending speech of Hillary was very humble. She indicated that the hits she had taken during this campaign were nothing compared to what millions of Americans live everyday and that, when she looked at all of her supporters, she felt truly blessed.

What I like about Hillary is her unfaltering determination. Despite the numerous attacks she has had to face for years, she kept on fighting. Now, she didn't get the nomination but she clearly said she would keep dedicating herself to the establishment of universal health care in the United States.

The best moment of the campaign has been, according to me, her victory in New Hampshire. After her stunning defeat in Iowa January 3rd, all the polls predicted a new defeat in the following primary. When a voter asked how she did it, how she kept fighting, a very tired Hillary broke down and talked passionately about her projects for America. The following day, she won the primary. Her victory speech in New Hampshire was so unexpected that my heart was beating like crazy when she ended with a burning tone:

Every single day, I am not going out there on my own, I am going out there accompanied by millions and millions of people who believe as I do that this country is worth fighting for!

Congratulations Senator Clinton.
