For a woman who lost a nomination widely assumed to be in the bag and was then passed over for the Vice Presidential spot, Hillary Clinton looked genuinely pleased to be at the Democratic National Convention.
In one of the performances of her life, she boosted Obama, poured scorn on Bush and McCain, and gave her party a tantalising reminder of her star power.
There were some who felt, after watching her lift the convention hall to the point of near-hysteria, that they might have backed the wrong pony.
Certainly Mrs Clinton appeared to have at least one eye on 2012, should Obama lose in November. ..
She then set our her vision for America.
"To create a health care system that is universal, high quality, and affordable so that parents no longer have to choose between care for themselves or their children or be stuck in dead end jobs simply to keep their insurance.
"To create a world class education system and make college affordable again.
"To fight for an America defined by deep and meaningful equality — from civil rights to labour rights, from women's rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionisation to providing help for the most important job there is: caring for our families."
