We do offer the people a choice. A choice of continuing on the courageous and the compassionate course that has made this nation the strongest and the freest and the most prosperous and the most peaceful nation in the history of mankind. To those who have sought to divide us, they have only helped to unite us. To those who would provoke us, we have turned the other cheek. So as we conclude our labors, let us tomorrow turn to our new task. Let us be on our way.” The crowd roars its approval. MS Johnson and Humphrey smiling at the dais. | |
