She tried. The words were there, but I didn’t feel that her heart was in it all the way.
We’ll see how she behaves in the remaining weeks of the campaign.
The larger question for me is why Obama caved in and turned over so much of this convention to the Clintons. I know he needs her women supporters to win the election, but giving away so much makes him seem weak. Coupled with his feckless campaign style (when is he going to rip into John “Mr. Bluster” McCain???)his behavior lends credence to those who feel he isn’t strong enough to win this fight. Or to be president.
And Hillary’s performance causes many to feel that SHE should have gotten the nomination.
I’ve been an Obama supporter from the beginning, but right now, I have the sickening feeling that my party will once again lose a race they should win easily.
You have to love that the Democrats banned John Edwards (a guy that got caught cheating on his wife) from the convention but welcome Bill Clinton with open arms.
Look for Joe Biden to serve the role as attack dog. Tonight’s speech should be laced with anti-Bush and anti-McCain rhetoric.
The main issue is Hillary’s voters. They need to get over the fact that she lost the nomination and turn out to vote for Obama. Can these people really consider voting for McCain? On every major policy question, McCain is diametrically opposed to all of Hillary’s (and Obama’s) positions.
It is sad that such a large group of Americans, who do not possess any knowledge of where the candidates stand on any of the issues, will determine who will be our next President.
It is unforgivable — criminal, in fact — that low-information voters may decide this election.
I think of the Hillary supporter who said she was voting for McCain because he supports a woman’s right to choose!!!
McCain — who was ALWAYS been anti-abortion… and who has pledged that he will appoint a Supreme Court Justice who will overturn Roe vs. Wade.
Sadly, that idiot supporter is not alone. Too many uninformed citizens will go into the voting booth in November and make the same mistake.
In MY America, they would be stopped at the door.
Fortunately, we do not live in YOUR America.
Never expected that kind of rhetoric from you.
“Fortunately, we do not live in YOUR America.”
But in your heart of hearts, I bet you wish you did, because you can’t tell me that anyone with half a brain is happy to have his future decided by know-nothings.
I would never sacrifice what we are for your Utopian philosophy. I find this revelation most surprising in the face of your consistently intelligent and well constructed analyses read over these many months. Though I may not necessarily agree with your points of view at times I never suspected you of harboring such an elitist philosophy. You are wise enough to know what history as taught us of regimes which have risen to power on such foundations of thought. Perhaps, in truth, those whom you would exclude are the true preservers of freedom, serving as a buffer against the evolution of a ruling class of which you would certainly see yourself a member.
