Author and columnist Peggy Noonan looks toward the crowd and listens as U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton concedes the race for the Democratic party’s nomination for President of the United States of America to Barack Obama at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., Saturday, June 7, 2008. Ms. Noonan would close her eyes while she listened, as if she were absorbing the senator’s words. Her Column about Clinton’s speech appeared in the New York Post Sunday.
