“Barack Obama is my candidate, and he must be our president,” Clinton concluded.

She never asked her supporters to support Obama. Not once. She chose her words carefully.

Missing in all of this was any discussion of the candidate’s character, the experiences that made him uniquely qualified to run the government,

Maybe because she, like at least half of the country, believes he has neither?

"This [Hillary Clinton's speech] proved unfortunate for Barack Obama, who is yet to score any discernable bounce after Monday's widely panned convention kickoff."

Hmmm. Both amazing and ironic. Carefully choreographed, Clintonista minigates managed to successfully create the Pavlovian "It's Bush's fault!" response whenever anything went wrong, whether it was a minor traffic jam or their teenager not studying and getting a D on an important test....

Now the media are blaming every single little thing that goes wrong this election cycle on...Hillary Rodham Clinton.

They either don't want a Democrat elected this year unless it's Barack Obama, or they're not thinking through the consequences of their actions, because they may make Hillary unelectable as a backup candidate should the Obama campaign continue failing.

Obama's lack of bounce is nobody's fault but his own. It's not a vast conspiracy. Both the Clinton camp and us conservatives are jumping on the ample opportunities for derision that the Obama camp gives us every day! And why not? It's not even a challenge.

"I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002."

LOL!!! If McCain doesn't hammer the airways with that commercial from now to November, he might as well admit that he's voting for Obama. This could be the clincher for McCain.

Imagine the impact of running Hillary saying that line, then a brief look at McCain's career vs. Obama, the "community organizer".

Slam dunk!!!

Hilary's slogan “No way, no how, no McCain” just sounds awkward.

Maybe she meant to say “No way, no how, Nobama”

"Clinton wasn’t above playing the sex card, either: for millions of women, Republican and Democratic alike, the prospect of electing the first female President evoked powerful emotions. A deferred dream that compelling won’t die after a single speech by Hillary Clinton, no matter how brilliantly crafted and delivered. And this speech was cultivated to do anything but bury them."

Poor Barack. Looks like the sex card IS more powerful than the race card this year. After all, there are only a certain number of African Americans in this country, and half of them are women. BWAHAHAHAHA (I'm out of popcorn and having withdrawl)

She included a number of anecdotes about herself, including a touching story about a cancer stricken woman who greeted her with the word “Hillary” “painted on her bald head.”

As she spoke, tall vertical signs throughout the rapturous crowd read “OBAMA” on one side and “UNITY” on the other.

Some interesting anagrams for OBAMA UNITY:

Buoyant Aim
To Buy Mania
You Bait Man
I Am a Nut Boy
A Man Bit You

...”A tearful Bill Clinton repeatedly mouthed the words “I love you” from his box high above the crowd.”...

That’s true, but he was mouthing it to the hot redhead who was sitting next to him.

Did anyone besides me notice that the Bent One also hugged her waaaay longer and tighter than he did the middle-aged battleaxe who was next to Red?

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
