The much hyped "division" officially ends with gracious speeches and pledges of support from both Clintons. What will the pundits blab about now? Maybe Rudy's transvestite stint...or an expose of Mike Huckabee taking a nap. Maybe Ed Rendell will have gas.... anything but actual issues.

The division in the Democratic party was the hype of the news media, the ringing endorsement from the Clintons and the reaction of the delegates present should put this issue to rest.

Hi RFE! I posted a similar story from the LA Times, with a link also to a Washington Post story with a video. {Impossible these days to know if someone's posted the same story unless its the IDENTICAL one.

To my mind a big part of the hysteria in the Press comes from the unwieldy format of the election campaign. It was designed for the days of horse-drawn carriages and exclusively print media..
I made up my mind that Obama was going to win in the Iowa primary but as the months dragged by I got more and more bored. [And I'm quite good at watching lizards slee[ping for long periods of time]. I also commented to my gf at the time that the "CHANGE" message was precisely right - but that if I had to hear nothing but that for the next 9 months that would REALLY get old.
Hence the desperate need of the media to find anything that they possibly can to run with and sensationalise and the more off-the-wall the better! However ephemeral.
Brilliant that the 2 Clinton's got the focus exactly right - their legacy will be the stronger for it. -

Some nice rhetoric last night. I particularly liked Bill Clinton's remarks about what a fantastic commander-in-chief he was. Just a few words ... words like Somalia. American troops are murdered by Islamic warlords ... and we tuck tail and run. Some commander-in-chief. Turning down chances to get our hands on Bin Laden – and enjoying interns while Al Qaeda strengthens. Great, just great.

Do you want America leading the world with the power of example or by the example of power? Of course you'd want the latter by supporting Bush and McBush. Might makes right even when it's wrong. Great, just great.

All the speeches at the DNC have been great thus far. There is a lot of energy and good vibes in Denver during this time. I have enjoyed watching the whole process.

You know, Our Country (USA) is being ruined by all these dirty Political System.
Reply
This has been gone for long time since from late 80 and all these past eight year has been one most of damned worst time of ever.
Our vote for Presidential are being a joke anymore such it is not being running by people vote for them, just being judge by who ever them nominator are, Taken granted for our taxpaying money and or anyway to collects of moneys, wasting on time and materials for these voting.
I can't understand this, Is Hillary Clinton being a nominator now since she has been on a unfair action in the races? And if she did, What would happen is she didn't actually supported Barack? Would that be something for her or that something creating another big issue to carry on as of Political like to find of being trouble and way to spend more money?.-

Hillary stayed with Bill, and she'll stay with the democratic party. She has a worldview the Republicans don't share and she is loyal. She is a strategic thinker, and although she may show disappointment in the moment, she also has the capacity to see the big picture and also to forgive.
Reply
She is already involved in big issues, and her personality demands that she commit herself to them.
Politics has always been dirty--ancient history's philosophers also affirmed this. There is Human Nature, and that isn't changing. Only the cast changes. And they do some good and they twist other things up. Just some do more good and/or twist more things up. Although I think the Bush administration has done some good things, I think it has done some very damaging things, not the least of which are to seek to destroy science and actually destroy our economy.
I think faith-based funding is unconstitutional, and I'm sorry Obama has embraced it. I'm sorry Pelosi made a point of saying "under god" to pander to the right. But I know its expediency--it's the same reason McCain aligns himself with people he formerly verbally attacked. First you have to get elected.
I'm still not sure what I'll do in the voting booth.

I'm surprised at how many people actually believe this.....

What Bill said before, when he wasn't speaking in front of thousands of Democrats at the convention, is what he really thinks. He is sour about Hillary losing and doesn't think Obama is the best candidate. But he said what he had to to get the sheep to vote for Obama. But his supporters who think for themselves know how he feels, and will vote off their own opinion. -

A big reason there is no surge in the polls is because the polls rely on landlines. A significant amount of Obama voters are young and tech savvy and do most of their talking on cells. A lot of McBush voters don't know what a cell is but are happy to answer any poll because it is the first time someone has talked to them since the AARP insurance salesman called 2 weeks ago.

I thought Bill Clinton's speech was masterful, and I thought he made a strong argument for pulling together to at least get a chance to push for essential policy changes desired by voters. I think he is the one who finally brought it together.

I think America is watching, because they've seen lots of promises turn empty from both parties. -

I loved "the strength of our example rather than the example of our strength."
