I think Hillary's speech was right on the money. It was well written. Kudos to her for voicing her support for Obama.
:)

It turned out to be a throwaway because the crowd was still reacting to something said before, but I loved the bit in the History of Feminism section where she pointed out that her mother was born before a woman could vote for president, and her daughter was able to vote for HER for president.


It encapsulated so much about progress, about the unfolding promise of America, and about struggles worth fighting for through generations.


I know Hillary is the smarmiest of calculating pols ... but I love her.

I thought it was a very good speech. I hope it will have a positive effect on some of her rabid supporters who seem to want to vote for McCain out of spite that they didn't win and that Obama didn't choose her as VP. These people need to pay attention to the bigger picture here.

Hillary's speaking style is fine, and I thought she was in good form tonight. But she's never thrilled me as an orator.


My favorite speech at the convention today was by Dennis Kucinich. Short, to the point, invigorating, crowd-pleasing, catchy and enthusiastically delivered. Heheh, it didn't make prime-time tv, but here's Kucinich's Rousing Address at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.


Better in 5 minutes than Hillary was in 20, imo, but not as sexy. (I think Hillary is HoT)

It may have been missed tonight but it was a standard line in her stump speech so rest assured that most of the people paying close attention have heard it before.

Wow, I am impressed and pleased by the speech. Exactly what she needed to say, in exactly the right way. :snap: I feel much better about her than I did prior to it. She was able to usher her followers into the fold and look good for doing it. Awesome!

Yes, Hillary's speech was excellent. She did a great job, I was happy with it and her.

And she's where she is because of her husband and also because people feel sorry for her because her husband had an affair.

As a woman of accomplishment myself and almost all of it having nothing to do with my husband, I felt angered by Hillary's candidacy. There are other, stronger, more accomplished women in politics who have made it under their own steam.

How are those grapes, 3894?

I don't understand.
