When she said that it took her some time to get over it - as it would anyone - I understood and commiserated with her. I also saw that she had made her peace with her primary loss, and I agree with my curmudgeon ex-Marine brother in Oregon that it is Billy Jeff that\'s still the fly in the ointment, still the whining big nose.<br><br>We don\'t know anyone\'s heart but I do know this - Senator Clinton did what she needed to do, and she did it well all day yesterday and then today.  It was planned that she would issue the acclamation and she did it well, even started out with let\'s elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States.  The fact that she only had 341.5 delegates to his 1559.5 proved Jonathan Alter\'s point that he made a few weeks ago - that if they went to roll call, she would lose most of the delegates she\'d won during the primary.<br><br>But she did well, and we need to give her her props and move on.  As I told them on Daily Kos, I respect her again so now they have my permission to help her retire her campaign debt. :)<br><br>She did good, she did well.</div>\

Kennedy, appeared on stage on Monday. As moving as Gov. Schweitzer and Rep. Kucinich\'s speeches last night.  I was born in 1954, a couple of  months after Brown v. Board of Education.  I was born in the cradle of the civil rights movement - Birmingham, AL.  I am 10-12 days older than Secretary Rice; we were both most likely born in the basement of Jefferson County/Hillman Hospital, now UAB Hospital.  To this day, my birth certificate says that my mother was colored and my father was colored.<br><br>I was a youngster during the marches, during the assassination of first JFK, then Malcolm X, MLK, Jr. and RFK and I can still remember where I was and what was happening during each murder as well as when the Voting Rights Act was passed; I have personal stories about Jim Crow and segregation in Alabama.  I remember the colored and white fountains, being snatched up by my maternal great grandmother when I was 5 as I attempted to sit next to a white woman on the bus.<br><br>I could go on because I have a testimony about segregated schools, freedom of choice, busing, the whole nine yards - German shepherds, water hoses, Bull Connor, Dr. King in the Birmingham jail - yet I never thought - never even considered - that we would have a viable black candidate for the US presidency in my lifetime.  Even as a writer, I never even fantasized about it<br><br>From a child, I was taught patriotism to love my people and my country in spite of the degradations, yet I have to say, I\'ve never loved my country as much as I do now, no matter what happens in November.<br><br>As for Senator Clinton - she did good things yesterday and today, and there was a feeling of authenticity to her  and we all ought to cut her some slack for that alone.</div>\

I find their reporting questionable, but they basically said that when those memos came out that confirmed Penn was pushing the idea that Obama was "foreign" and "unAmerican" there was basically a slim chance she was going to be picked.  And while others may be able to look over this fact, I cannot.  <br><br>I get that sometimes you have to swallow your pride in politics and do things you don\'t want to do and work with people that you don\'t want to work with.  But those memos are more than that.  They say a lot about the tenor of her campaign.  AND. . .Penn helped both Clintons write their speeches so clearly they still feel he is a political ally.  Sorry, I would rather see Barack lose on principle then to sell his soul for the presidency.  Some things are NOT worth it.</div>\

They need to support Russia, and take those missles out of Poland. The distance from Poland  to Russia is the distance from Mexico City to Houston. How would anyone feel about another super power installing missles in Mexico City? I think I can safely say that we would consider it a direct threat to our national security. If we would, why wouldn\'t they? If you can\'t visualize Mexico City-Houston,, it\'s equivalent to the distance between Houston-chicago, or chicago-New York. Its roughly 700 miles.<br><br>Bill has an Obama sign!!</div>\

I think she was actually genuine, I can respect her sincerity. I wish her well, I\'ll cut her some slack...for now. She has to earn that trust back if she plans to run again.<br><br>I\'ve been watching the convention straight through since 9pm, it was great. I was laughing, crying, shouting, and all those good things. I love politics, the game of it all, and the possibility of it as well. Pres. Clinton was his usual self, very charming and endearing and I enjoyed listening to him. I feel the same about him as I always have, so, no real hatred for him. Just disappointment. Still, fun to watch.<br><br>We had a string of great speakers, my home state (IL) showed up and represented with Tammy Duckworth. How\'d y\'all like her, she\'s a spitfire and not afraid to tell it like it is. I\'ve always enjoyed listening to her speak. She is a FIGHTER, and I respect that deeply. And Kerry was great, why wasn\'r he more like that when he was running. He might have had more of a fighting chance. WHy do they all become so passive when they\'re running for president?! People want the passion.<br><br>I was confused, CSPAN noted that Richardson was supposed to speak, I was disappointed I didn\'t see him. Hopefully sometime this week something works out. I didn\'t know Barack was gonna be there, so I was thrilled. And did you see Michelle\'s face :) Awww, that was sooooo sweet, all that love. *sigh* I truly love politics again! Yeah it\'s package emotions and whatnot, but...I dunno, it\'s a good game if you play it for the people and not yourself.</div>\

What are the freakin\' odds?   They\'re playing reruns of the nights coverage.<br><br>So, did anyone notice the song they were playing when Bill came out?  Fleetwood Mac:<br><blockquote><i>If you wake up and dont want to smile,<br>If it takes just a little while,<br>Open your eyes and look at the day,<br>Youll see things in a different way.<br><br>Dont stop, thinking about tomorrow,<br>Dont stop, itll soon be here,<br>Itll be, better than before,<br>Yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone.<br><br>Why not think about times to come,<br>And not about the things that youve done,<br>If your life was bad to you,<br>Just think what tomorrow will do.<br><br>Dont stop, thinking about tomorrow,<br>Dont stop, itll soon be here,<br>Itll be, better than before,<br>Yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone.<br><br>All I want is to see you smile,<br>If it takes just a little while,<br>I know you dont believe that its true,<br>I never meant any harm to you.<br><br>Dont stop, thinking about tomorrow,<br>Dont stop, itll soon be here,<br>Itll be, better than before,<br>Yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone.<br><br>Dont you look back,<br>Dont you look back.</i></blockquote><br><br>Naughty, naughty Obama Campaign!<br><br>Then Michelle\'s eyes were so cool...I know ugly stuff is going on behind the scenes.    I know Michelle\'s not going to like Bill first, because of the blowjob thing...and the other petulant stuff is the last straw.<br><br>Best line from Bill\'s speech:<br><br>"America is a place called HOPE"<br><br>Saw Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba and Chevy Chase, Spike Lee, Mohammad Ali in the crowd.</div>\
