Clinton Team Convention Poster Strategy Tamped Down Dissent
Hillary's 40-person whip team, which spent the week tamping down on dissent within her delegate ranks, had a brilliant plan to thwart dissent in the convention hall Tuesday night.

Words cannot express how I'm feeling after watching Hillary Clinton carry her speech tonight at the Democratic National Convention. What an example...

Maybe the Democrats, including Hillary's own most ardent supporters, will find winning health care reform a good enough reason to unite behind Obama.

Hillary made the case she needed to make to her supporters who were still sitting on the fence, and she did it perfectly, in a speech for the ages.

"If you were at the California delegation this morning, you saw me with a gag in my mouth. That is because I was not permitted to either speak to the California delegation, even though I am a Hillary delegate, nor were the Hillary delegates permitted to have a meeting with each other."

The real reason voters might go over to McCain is the animosity coming from the Obama people, the people who idolize a leader who "treats people with dignity and respect," as Michelle Obama put it.

Don't buy into the media narrative that this is some sort of "divided party" -- because today's Democrats aren't. All true Democrats are pulling hard to defeat the legacy of George W. Bush.

Last year, Hillary was reigning over the summer debates, shoring up claims to inevitability. Today she's stumping for Barack in Nevada, where it's 110 degrees in the shade. What a difference a summer makes.

Politically, this would give both the Clintons a personal stake in the race, and would go a long way towards healing the wounds inflicted in the primaries on both sides.

"We do not want any Democrat, either in the hall or in the stadium or at home, walking away saying Well, you know, I'm just not satisfied. I'm not happy. Because that's what I'm trying to avoid."

The final piece to the puzzle may well be adding Clinton's populist economic message to Obama's call for "change we can believe in."

When I want a bracing shot of pseudo-principled outrage, I normally turn to Republicans. But recently I found a Democratic source: Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who may vote for McCain.

Visibility is viability, and wouldn't it be great to have Meet the Press, the most prestigious and hard hitting show on the Sunday circuit, feature a woman host?

Hillary's run for the White House offered more than its share of triumphant, embarrassing, off-color, and off-key moments caught on tape and forwarded to millions across the country.

The former president's absence from Hillary's photo album brings the campaign full circle. So poor Bill, who has temporarily dropped from sight, sustained a double humiliation.
Caryl Rivers | Posted 06.23.2008 | Politics
The message when the first woman to have a real shot at the presidency is consistently called shrill and cackling is that women should have no voice in the public arena and will be humiliated if they try to enter it.

Obama's mother gave a precious gift to her son, the life of both an Americanand that of human being who feels at home in many different cultures, allowing to see the similarities between us all.

Pfleger has been thumbing his nose at authority -- secular and sacred -- for years in pursuit of what he believes God has called him to do: fight for the poor and oppressed.

Last night Hillary mirrored Nixon's famous and pathetic speech. In 1952 he told a national audience he was not a quitter and appealed to voters to help decide whether he should be the vice presidential candidate. "Wire and write," he said.

Simply put, this is the worst possible time for any Republican to be running for president, and Obama is the perfect candidate for Democrats, and a nightmare for McCain.
Beverly Davis | Posted 06.11.2008 | Home
The Hillary speech not only ignored Obama's historic win but was so laden with self-preservation and -aggrandizement it's clear that, although she is at the end of her candidacy, she is not done with her self-deluded power plays.

This week will be great fun to watch because the delegate arithmetic simply doesn't work after Tuesday. Then, the real Hillary will be revealed in one of two scenarios.

Categorizing Hillary as a victim of sexism shows there is nothing else to be said that cogently criticizes her qualifications, nothing of any substance that is assailable.

While Clinton's lost me on the character front, I still have issues with Obama in terms of overall electability come November 4th.
