Apesar do debate de ontem ter sido apenas mais um debate, um reforço no que cada um dos dois candidatos democratas - Hillary Clinton e Barak Obama - já falaram anteriormente, o que sempre gera bons votos para Obama, o momento final do debate foi o mais interessante, e o foi graças a uma declaração sincera e espirituosa de Hillary. Ao serem perguntados sobre qual foi o maior desafio da sua carreira, Obama respondeu genericamente, e Hillary foi direta ao iniciar com seu problema conjugal e terminar com o maior aplauso do debate. Um dos melhores fins de debate que eu já vi.

Atente que a frase que ela fala logo depois de dizer que sente “absolutamente honrada” de estar ali debatendo com Obama tem um fechamento perfeito e à altura.

Veja o vídeo da parte final (4:42). Segue a transcrição da parte final do debate.

BROWN: Senator Clinton?

CLINTON: Well, I think everybody here knows I’ve lived through some crises and some challenging moments in my life. And…

(APPLAUSE)

And I am grateful for the support and the prayers of countless Americans.

But people often ask me, “How do you do it?” You know, “How do you keep going?” And I just have to shake my head in wonderment, because with all of the challenges that I’ve had, they are nothing compared to what I see happening in the lives of Americans every single day. along with Senator McCain, as the only two elected officials, to speak at the opening at the Intrepid Center at Brooke Medical Center in San Antonio, a center designed to take care of and provide rehabilitation for our brave young men and women who have been injured in war.

And I remember sitting up there and watching them come in. Those who could walk were walking. Those who had lost limbs were trying with great courage to get themselves in without the help of others. Some were in wheelchairs and some were on gurneys. And the speaker representing these wounded warriors had had most of his face disfigured by the results of fire from a roadside bomb.

CLINTON: You know, the hits I’ve taken in life are nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across our country.

And I resolved at a very young age that I’d been blessed and that I was called by my faith and by my upbringing to do what I could to give others the same opportunities and blessings that I took for granted.

That’s what gets me up in the morning. That’s what motivates me in this campaign.

(APPLAUSE)

And, you know, no matter what happens in this contest — and I am honored, I am honored to be here with Barack Obama. I am absolutely honored.

(APPLAUSE)

CLINTON: Whatever happens, we’re going to be fine. You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends. I just hope that we’ll be able to say the same thing about the American people, and that’s what this election should be about.

(APPLAUSE)

BROWN: All right, a standing ovation here in Austin, Texas. Our thanks to Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton. We appreciate your time tonight.

(APPLAUSE)
