Hillary Clinton: “Obama will not give you as many free things as I, Hillary Clinton could have.”

Wallace is clueless, no word was an accident. This was a “just enough” speech.

Michele Obama was throwing daggers with the eyes.

Michelle Obama is a downright mean American woman and this is NOT the first time in my adult life that I have been ashamed of her.

Yes, Bill was weepy and saying ‘I love you’.

She mentioned O more than I thought she was going to. Shoot, he doesn’t owe her debts. That’s how I feel about it.

lol... i was half listening at the time. Still..I think it was a cheap trick and not so veiled attempt at putting the republicans on the defensive over race.

This race-baiting by the dems is starting to piss me off big time!

My parents were Goldwater supporters and fought for ‘civil rights’ for blacks. My mom was on the front lines in the south..when democrats were burning crosses in white people’s yards for standing up!!

So mad I can’t see straight!

I agree with fox. If her intention was to convince voters that they should support Obama where was the reasons for doing so? Her delivery was good and her retention was exceptional but it lacked the reason why we should all vote for Barry. Got to hand it to her — she’s improved ten fold and her coach has earned his/her keep.

All about Hillary and not about how Obama will change their "HOPE".

“Final words from her: “Thank You And God Save”. Save what?”

I think she said...and Godspeed.

IMHO I think Hillary did a great job of walking on eggs. She didn't go too far in endorsing Obama, she didn't even say he will make a "good" president, let alone a great one. She mostly talked about her goals, her campaign, her ideals...and then tagged that Obama had the same ones. For beating around the bush and doing what the Dems wanted - score one for Hillary. For actually giving others faith in Obama and showing he is capable and ready to lead - score a negative 10. And that is what she wanted, she wanted to low-key her belief in Obama. And that is exactly why this crafty woman makes me believe that she is not down yet. I am sure that she vitalized her supporters to still hold strong for her because she gave a speech that reflected more about how and what she wanted to do, than what Obama can do.

P.S. I loved her line: "... Women of the traveling pantsuits." Obviously Hillary pays attention to the blogs, LOL! I have to give her credit there for laughing at herself. And tonight, she did look glowing, as did her daughter. She also proved, again, she has smarts and talent and is very able to stand tall in the face of what had to be the greatest disappointment in her life. It is a shame she has wasted herself being a lying liberal, LOL.

I agree with that and Bill will just hammer the point home tomorrow night.

She was effective for the party. I will say this, outside of the the politics the speech was a home run. The Democratic Party nominated the wrong candidate, that’s what I’m seeing.

I can assure, that while the delegates there will put up a front, 90% of them right now have big-time "buyer's remorse."

So do y’all think her speech was effective enough to get those Hillary hold outs to vote for Obama?

No. "Hell hath no fury like the wrath of a woman scorned." The Hillary hold outs will continue to hold out, and Hillary didn't say or do anything to convince them she's totally on board with the Obambi and his angry, rancorous wife.

John McCain is planning to rollout his vice-presidential nominee in three battleground states this weekend,

with large-scale rallies planned for Ohio, Pennsylvania and Missouri, according to aides and advisers.

MO has been added to the list.

Gretta on FNC, click time to change the channel.

CNN has carvil.

The clueless talking heads are just over the top delusional.

They could have just phoned in their comments as canned.

NONE of them know any history for presidential elections.

I think they are realizing the picked the wrong Candidate.

Not a fan of Hillary but as Dem candidate that was not bad. I dont think she helped BO and certainly did not go after McCain.
