To: retrokitten

Now to be fair... no exceptional politician could sell Obama for the Oval Office if he had been a white guy. No sane political party would have nominated him. But they did nominate Obama and the Democrats are having a bad case of buyers' remorse. They should have stuck with seasoned ol' Hillary instead of shiny new boy toy Obama. Its a teachable lesson. Hillary could have probably defeated McCain. Obama can't. Its that simple!

No and no and no! Hillary was being polite. But she's made it clear its not her job to unite the party and lead it to victory. She feels robbed of a victory that was rightfully hers and she had no intention of making life easier for Obama. Her late appearance was a calculated insult to the Obama team.

Speech, No We Wont
August 26, 2008 ·
Listening to Lady Boomer telling us:
Hillary did not release her delegates! Also, about the new petition the delegates started - for a voting on the floor - 800 signatures needed, 400 in the bag
If you know any delegates - ask them to sign them - tell them the petition is just about representing their voters
There was a Riverdaughter post about the sisterhood of the traveling pantsuit - and the color orange is also the Denver PUMA official
Starting to feel better about the speech. Before the show, all I took with me was Keep Going
Betty Jean - looking at the faces of Obama supporters in shock - they met Hillary Clinton for the first time
Sheri - only delegates - no Obama supporters in Denver - just PUMAs
Callers say speech sound inaugural, presidential
It was bittersweet
.
Personally, I started by being moved - her entrance. i became angry - determined to vote McCain as she went on. I was happy she mentioned womens rights. And paying homage to Bill Clinton. I only remember keep going! And Bill with tears in his eyes. And Michelle glaring!
Now, listening to others, the anger is going away. The determination stays.
Murphy:
she was herself tonight because she was talking to us, her voters. No teleprompter, from the heart. Brilliant.
However Murphy thinks delegates were released
Kudos to Betty Jean for her passion and work
If Hillary not nominated, PUMApac will continue to campaign against Obama
Stay off the TV!
Which I will. And sign off.

Must have been; because that was a part of her speech that seemed to excite Michelle. Of course the cameras panned over to her to see her jumping out of her seat.

...its reported that 25-30% of her supporters will not vote for BHO .. thats not chump change.
That's an excellent point. BO has problems; and Hillary, in the windmills of her mind, would be delighted with a McCain victory in Nov.
