Will somebody here watch???

Although despising both Clinton and Carter, I certainly will and will also try to watch Carter's speech.

Here is a fascinating article by Peter Boyer at New Speak, Daily Beast. It is quite long but well worth reading. In it, Mr. Boyer looks at the deep and wide gulf separating the Obama Democrats from the Clinton Democrats.

The comments are interesting as well. Here's one of them:

Exactly. Clinton understood that the Dems needed centrist appeal to be the majority party, which is why he prospered, as did his party. I find it so amusing that all the leftist posters here delight in discussing how far right the Repubs have become, when the story of the Dem party since the 1960's, with the exception of the Clinton years, is one unending drift to the left, away from Kennedy and Roosevelt and all of their heroes, into positions that would have delighted George McGovern.
It may well be difficult for Mr. Clinton to say much beyond fluff in praise of President Obama. Will he? I don't know and that's why I intend to watch.
