as our competition. I can think of a dozen tickets that would be stronger:

Obama / Warner
Obama / Bayh
Obama / Hillary
Hillary / Warner
Hillary / Bayh
Hillary / Biden

or how about

Warner / Bayh

We dodged a bullet this cycle.

shenanigans at this convention. Hopefully tonight and tomorrow won’t disappoint.

I think we set this up that Hillary is going to be seen as endorsing Obama to a greater extent now then she did before.

On another note, Chelsea has grown into a very attractive woman I must say.

Now, that is a loud outfit.

Caution: Inexpirenced Candidate Running!

The media will play this speech up big time for Obama. I think Hillary helped Obama a lot tonight

that we should once again have Democratic Solid South??

Isn’t the party’s nominee African American???

Lots of Kool-Aide being drank.

by continually telling me how pitiful my life is and how much I need their help. How can anyone with a spine put up with their condescension?

Blue + Orange, get it? So far this speech has been a lot of whining, a lot of random tangents about things, and she is just now getting to the point of endorsing Obama.

I don’t trust Hillrod. Not at all. What is she getting paid for this speech? Are they making her Majority Leader?

They are going over 11 pm on east coast so they are getting more then the hour each network was giving to each convention per night.

I think the sppech is a good one for Obama and can see some inching up on polls just for it

This Bush’s third term stuff is pretty simple minded.

She is over rated. Plenty of ME ME ME mixed in.

I just don’t see that line working with anyone with eyes, ears, or half a brain. Is it effective with people? McCain and W. are miles different–especially since McCain is incredibly nimble when it comes to responding to attacks. W. gave that up, oh, 7 years ago.

Sorry, as a female, I can’t resist. It is really a distraction from what she
is trying to get across.

Otherwise, when she did her introduction, why wasn’t she shown with
the black chilren in the photos??? Where was she in relation to the desitute she showed in her biography….
just really wierd….

n/p

She endorses Obama.

She slams McCain.

BUT…

She explains why she ran and what she wanted to accomplish.

Her speech was more about her than it was about supporting Obama.

She could have focused more on Obama.

Good speech for the Dems though.

I still think McCain should seriously contemplate a female VP… I like Palin, but would settle for Whitman.

The “big” speeches of this convention (Michelle Obama, Warner, and HRC) have been in the 20 minute range. It is it me or should the featured speaker of a night be in the 30-45 minute range.

1. “We’re Americans, we’re not in the mood for quitting”

That’s funny considering that Barack Obama is the one who wants to surrender in Iraq.

1. The accusation that McCain doesn’t want women to earn the same as men.

Wasn’t it just a few months ago when word got out of huge pay gaps between men and women in Obama’s office… not McCain’s.

1. Chelsea Clinton

Yowza! What a shame she had to live out her awkward ugliness in the White House.

1. The state of Democratic women.

I don’t want to seem like I’m a chauvanist, but save Chelsea Clinton it seems that all Democratic women are either batty, a fatty, or older than dirt.

speaker at this convention.

excellent speech — exciting and gripping, personal and visionary. Like Richard Nixon, Hillary is never better than when she has taken a punch. She will be around long after the Obamas have headed off to be the leader of Kenya or heading up some foundtion or whatever he does after his defeat (he will not stay in the Senate.)

Great speech. She occasionally remembers to mention Obama & Biden but this is the beginning of Hillary 2012.

As a Clinton supporter and probably the only Republican to support her I was somewhat disappointed with some aspects of her speech and just the reason behind why she had to support Obama and make nice.

After all Democratic party leaders did to her, and what the Obama camp said and still feels about her, her husband, and her supporters. I just wish she would have stuck it to him and the party for operating the primaries like American Idol instead of a substantive serious contest for a nominee. Although, PUMAS aren’t going to support Obama. No matter how “enthusiastic” Hillary was tonight.

What a painfully robotic speaker Hillary is, and the campy facial expressions, especially with her eyes, make it borderline nauseous.

I also saw M.O. visualizing daggers, she really needs to get the anger vibes under control or she’s going to cause more problems for Barry. I’m watching Fox right now, not a mention of M.O., it’ll be interesting to see if any MSM picks up on it, I thought it was totally obvious.

Bottom line, Hillary’s speech was totally forgettable, and I hate to say it but I bet we will see the master in action tomorrow night. That should be interesting.

is it me or Hillary looks hot for a 60 something year old.

Blue, Orange, Denver….

BRONCOS.

ZOMG she warez teh Brauncoz colors. I can haz vote Dem?

A lot of energy.

I think (hope) it creates buyer’s remorse.

While I thought the content was nonsense in a policy sense, I thought her portrayal of a woman who sought and barely lost nomination and the struggles of women was great.

Her goals were those that would be hard to argue with, except for the part where she infers that she could somehow force employers to extend hours.

In this experience she has managed to rise from a polarizing, reviled politician’s wife–who was ruthlessly ambitious into a moderate democrat who has crossover appeal. In the end, this may have been a blessing in disguise (for her) if Obama loses to McCain.

Let’s start with health care. Hillary Clinton tonight states “I look forward to Barack Obama passing health care that covers every American.” Cut to her prior clip during primary, “Barack Obama’s health care plan would fail to cover every American.” Cut to McCain’s $5000 tax credit for working families to maximize health care coverage in a market based approach maximizing consumer choice, fitting family budgets, and covering more Americans than ever before. This could be done in the first 10 seconds of a commercial.

Next, Hilary Clinton’s winning line “there are 18 million more cracks in that glass ceiling” and “we have launched 50 women into space and one day we will launch one into the White House” while showing McCain with his female veep, (I prefer Palin). This could be the next 5 seconds of the commercial.

Third, cut to Hillary Clinton’s line “we need diplomacy, not war” and her line about needing to bring the soldier home responsibly. Cut immediately to her primary season criticism of Obama’s withdrawal plan as irresponsible. Cut to Obama’s comments about invading Pakistan with special forces. This could be done in 10 seconds.

Last 5 seconds, replay the great clip, “John McCain would make a great President, and Barack Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.”

She has already been working for months to try to peel off HRC voters and her struggles with the Packard family is going to remind alot of them about Barry.

…”the Democrats (and the Mrs. is a registered DINO) f*cked up”.

I have to agree with her. And also someone above who mentioned “buyer’s remorse”.

Was a tie between:

1. the intro video segment where Former President of the United States of America Bill Clinton was labeled with the subtitle “Hillary’s Husband” as he spoke.

2. the pause Clinton had after she said “I didn’t spend 35 years in the trenches . . .” where I found myself finally agreeing with something Hilary Clinton said, until she finished her sentence.

Glad we don’t have to face her in November.

I think they chose the wrong one.

Currently RedState endorsed candidate is leading the two other candidates 36.6 – 35.1 – 28.2

This is going to be a nail biter.

Election results are here

Alaska polls haven’t closed yet, but you can get those results here

I’ve seen recent polling showing RedState endorsed candidate Sean Parnell trailing Don Young lately.

to lour that sour something must be really stuck….

Okay…tactless I know…

Who has not decided on their candidate yet… not the liberals and not the conservatives. We already know who will get our vote. So what did Hillary do tonight for those undecides. You know the undecideds they are the people who tell you over and over again they vote for the candidate and not the party. They have no party and are not moved by the D or the R behind the name. They don’t look at policy, administrations, or principles. These are the people who don’t see a difference between the parties. These are the people who think all politicians are the same.

So what did Hillary give these people tonight as the reason to support Obama.. nothing, absolutely nothing but that Obama has a D after his name and McCain has an R.

The majority of these undecideds have are probably still undecided. Those who are still undecided are going to vote a candidates character and how comfortable they are with a candidate. Obama is an unknown and the only things to find out about him are not good.

I hardly EVER watch television, but I caught a few minutes at the end on ABC, and it looked like Hillary’s eyes were about to fall out of her head. She almost looked zombie-like.

Meanwhile Chelsea looked like she was about to fall asleep.

I noticed Bill Clinton in tears. I think we know what those tears REALLY were.

The way Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson were fawning over this was nauseating.

But when did Montana elect Tom Arnold as governor. Man alive was Barry coked up or what?

Get the crowd all riled up and then toss that video at ‘em. PUMA’s Unite!

She is over rated. Plenty of ME ME ME mixed in.

and still remain viable as a future candidate with Obama backers. It was probably the best speech she’s ever delivered. She had the audience in the palm of her hand, had a few laugh lines and a few catch phrases, kept it moving along well, and generally exceeded the expectations of most, but will disappoint the Obama team with her tepid praise.

Her mentions of him seemed perfunctory, almost afterthoughts, and the same “endorsements” could have been used for any Democratic nominee – Biden, Richardson, Edwards, or herself by someone else – very easily. She NEVER said she thought he was qualified, that she respected him, or that he would be a good President. Still, just enough so the Obama team will seem ungrateful and whiny if they mention their dissatisfaction.

Michelle looked quite unhappy most of the times the cameras found her. Of course, if she and Barry expected more enthusiasm from Hillary, they should have been more forthcoming in helping her retire her campaign debt. What goes around, comes around.

The guy in the photo isn’t wearing orange. It appears to be saffron, or perhaps ripening tangerine.

I’m guessing he is single, as no self-respecting woman (or gay man) would ever allow him to leave the house dressed like that.

“Michelle Obama still wants to kill her.”
“Wow, she really hates Hillary.”
Michelle was nervous, you robots. She’s not big time like Hillary, Barack, or John (or Laura, for that matter).
An article cannot really be said to represent quality political journalism if half of its analysis depends on telepathy.
(moderate political junkie)

Thank you Hillary for a great campaign slogan.
