She gave glowing tributes to Michelle, Joe and Jill Biden, and a wonderful shoutout to Bill too! :)

I was not a Hillary supporter in the primaries, at least not until it came down to making a choice between the last two candidates standing. But once that was the choice, I found a Hillary Clinton that was far deeper and far more skilled a politician than I had remembered or expected. I'd have been proud to cast my vote for her to be the next President of the United States.

It is a great speech...but just wait and see the spin saying that her speech was too good and needlessly overshadowed Michelle Obama and made it hard for Barack to follow her when he accepts the nomination.

I am wearing her t-shirt forever.  I am sleeping with it under my pillow tonight.  I would follow her through hell.

Really, what growth she has shown in campaigning, speechifying.

I have always believed that the mistake that cost Gore and Kerry a win was their absence of Clinton power.

Even Keith Olbermann is calling it a grand slam. "I don't know how it could have been better, Chris."  For the first time in a long time, I agree completely with Keith Olbermann.

"No way, no how, no McCain." I want a bumpersticker that says that.

"We the people, not we the favored few."

"It's not surprising that George Bush and John McCain are getting together next week in the Twin Cities, because it's getting awfully hard to tell them apart."  

"Were you supporting me just for me, or for our country?"  

"Think about your children, and your grandchildren."

"Democrats know how to do this [revitalize the economy, etc.] -- they did it before, during President Clinton's presidency, and we can do it again."

Tweety says -- !!!! --- "there was no sense of defeat in it, almost triumph, a sense of we're going somewhere...."  Duh.  I know you're disappointed that Hillary wasn't crawling out from under a rock in tears, but listen, you can't defeat Hillary Clinton, even if she doesn't win an election. She's indomitable.

Obama has his work cut out for him, lol!~ (Bill might also ;) )

But she can't say she herself would have done a better job, or avenge herself in the short term for the disservices done her during the primary.

I can.  

Frankly, it doesn't matter who I vote for.  My state - which, I might add, has gone for the winner in every election since 1960 - will go for McCain by thirty points.  I don't think Obama can win the national election under any circumstances, due to his own missteps and immaturity.

It's just not my problem.  He's ruined his own career, through his own hubris and arrogance.  As of today?  My focus is electing Hillary in 2012, if there is any way humanly possible to convince her to run again.

I must say though, she didn't say much about Obama that couldn't be applied to anyone else. But she's done all she could do: it's up to Obama now.

Also, when she talked about Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Bill Clinton had his hand on Jones' son's shoulder...that was very moving.

They came back when they panned to Bill, saying over and over, "I love you."

She was smart, she was like a laser focused on the issues.  She hit McCain and she hit him hard.

And she had me on everything...until she said, "...and that is why we must elect Barack Obama."

It's the one thing she said that does not connect - for me - to all the things she really cares about.  All the things I care about.

And yes, Michelle needs to work on her public face.  She hasn't learned the lesson that political wives always need to have the right facial expression.

Seriously though... wow!!  She made the case for electing a democrat though, not really for electing Obama.  For me there was a serious measure of integrity in the speech because once you parse the words, she basically didn't say he was a great candidate or ready to be president, but just that McCain would be far worse.

1. perhaps many Obama supporters in the hall and at hoome, who had never really listened to her before, saw what she was all about for the first time.

2. the point she made to her supporters, was this just about supporting me? or was it not about supporting the people [in need, etc.] that I support? oh shyte, I can't say this right...but anyhooo, thought it was an interesting point.

Her heart is just broken.

FLAWLESS! What more could they possibly ask of her? If Obama loses it's all on him.

Most poignant moment: when she asked her supporters "Did you do it for me or for all the people"? (paraphrased).

Wow, the audacity of that man, and several others, to act as if they weren't complicit in the bashing and hateful rhetoric against her.

Her job was to convince her supporters that even though she lost it's time to move on and vote for Obama.  The harder she tried to convince her supporters to support Obama, the passion in her speech will just do the opposite and make those supporters not to vote for Obama.  

I wonder if any of her sites will offer a DVD of this speech - maybe hers and Bill's?

I'd love to keep this forever. Like everyone else has said, THIS was presidential.

Unbelievable how the room came alive when she walked onto the stage.

Hilary is right, I am not supporting her for her alone. I am supporting her because she is the best person for the country at this time.

Even though she went above and beyond  what any one has done before to convince her supporters to vote for her opponent, I will still not vote for Barak.

 With all respect to due Hillary. The decision of who I vote for is mine. Obama has not earned my vote and has indicated he doesn't need it.

Anne Price Knowles gave the second best speech of the night.  No notes, no teleprompter, no buildup -- just heartfelt as well as better political analysis than any of the pundits.

Hillary is so much more qualified to be president.

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Former President Bill Clinton's speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver Wednesday night will be broadcast on a five-second delay similar to that used to screen callers on talk radio programs, party officials confirmed today.

Could they possibly be any more insulting?
