What if she had used his first name instead?
“No way, no how, no John”, would have quickly become the butt of jokes, so to speak.
Crowd response was telling:
“I come to you tonight as a proud mother”
[murmer]
“A proud Democrat”
[cheers/applause]
“a proud New Yorker”
[NY delegates sound off]
“a proud American”
[smattering of applause mixed with a low intonation, not sure if it was a booo]
“and a proud Obama supporter”
[loud cheers of course]
Noticeable was her lack of reference to herself as a Wife.
Hillary’s convention speech in a nutshell. “Me! Me! Me! I did this! I supported that!” [Insert long list of socialist programs]. “I support the Democrat Party.” “And, by the way, vote for what’s-his-name.”
What Hillary did was give her acceptance speech, slightly edited to barely, minimally endorse Obama. One could take her speech, replace Obama’s name with that of Oscar the Grouch, and it would make the same sense. After all, she only mentioned Obama’s name 10 times in a 3,000 word speech that stretched out over 30 minutes. In fact, if you erased Obama’s name from her speech, you would never know who the Dem candidate is.
When Obama loses on November 3, look for Hillary to fire up her campaign for 2012 on November 4. — CB
