The frequent knock against Lucy Baxley, throughout her campaign, was that she failed to define herself, particularly in contrast to a popular incumbent like Bob Riley.
Tuesday night, in an elegant and statesmanlike concession speech, she defined herself thus:
"To come from where I grew up in Alabama, dreaming that one day I could serve you, the great people of this state, in public office, and then allow you to have me serve eight years as your state treasurer, and then as your lieutenant governor, and stand before you tonight as the Democratic nominee for the governor of the state of Alabama, it is a victory. It is a victory for the American dream, of what can happen in Alabama."
