After getting blown away in Tuesday's Democratic primary in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton in her address to supporters sounded a bit like the candidate who trounced her.

Sure, there were the usual talking points — equal pay for women, her readiness for "all parts of the job," and her lifelong commitment to public service, among them.
