HERE COMES HILLARY AT SEIU. We’re watching her “day in my shoes” video. Clinton went to work with a nurse and she speaks about the importance of lowering nurse-patient ratios. Now she’s actually coming on stage to the cheesy tune that won her campaign song contest, “You and I” by Celine Dion. We were all hoping that thing would never see the light of day.

The crowd greets Hillary on foot, but it’s a more measured welcome. “Are you ready to change America?” she shouts. “If you’re ready to change, I’m ready to lead!”
