I’m really beginning to like you around thses parts. Please keep coming back to visit us here at TSF.

1. I live in Minneapolis so, the line “John McCain will be with Bush in the Twin Cities next week. It’ll be really hard to tell them apart.” 3 words: Hill-ar-ious!

2. Oh yes she did go there with Sis Harriet Tubman’s “Keep Going” “If you hear the dogs, keep gong! If they’re shouting after you, keep going. Don’t ever stop, keep going. (even if you hear the Popo coming, keep going!) Billary’s was holding church all up in that DNC! Black folks, I’m with you! me and slickWilly haven’t forsaken ya! remember us both in 2012 when I run for prez again! Did any of those supposedly 18 million folks get the power of those lines? Spiritual Freedom is hard one, and no one person or government entity can deliver us that.

3. “Where you in it just for me?” while holding her breath the whole time thinking, yes, of course it’s all about me, and don’t you forget it. but for now, vote for BHO, so slick and I can save face and our asses in this party.

4. For me, Billary didn’t deliver anything last night. If she’d have taken a page from Ted Kennedy’s play book on Monday night and graciously passed the torch on to Barack Tuesday, June 3 in a true concession speech, she’d have knocked it out of the proverbial Democratic ball park.

The clintons play 24 hour chess games, and are always looking for the next big move. The media will be waiting with bated breath to help blow them up and make them think they have the power. Like she said last night in the speech, “We democratics don’t give up.” Ole Billary’s going to “Keep Going.”

Peace out,

Michelle (and everybody else too), here is “Mammy Syndrome” at its finest:

T3’s comment nailed it spot on. I don’t know what more Hillary could have done — former presidential rivals have not been as forcefully for the candidate as Hillary was, see Ted Kennedy in 1980 or Ronald Reagan in 1976.

I just do not know what makes the voters so in the corner of Hillary they’re willing to not vote when plenty of important issues that can be determined by the bully pulpit of the presidency are up for grabs. I was an Obama supporter as soon as Edwards was out (good thing, too), but if Clinton had won the nomination, I’d have voted for her happily because she wasn’t John McCain.

I echo your words Temple. Great comment.

Out of curiousity, I have to ask: Given that Obama already has many, many former Clinton supporters in his fold (not the least of whom is foreign policy advisor Susan Rice), how do you imagine he’d actually manage a presidency with Hillary and Bill Clinton in the White House on a daily basis?

Thanks.

I’m glad you caught that pimp move for exactly what it was…that’s why Hillary didn’t introduce herself as a wife. She introduced herself as a mother, as a senator, as a American, as a Democrat and just about everything under the sun — but not a wife, not as a chick working the track to bring that money back to daddy.

The Spin Doctors are already asserting that her speech was not tantamount to a personal endorsement of BHO. Still, she did say that he was her choice for POTUS and that he needed to win. She said it, but you have to question her sincerity.

What was she supposed to say?

Can anyone that close to the ultimate position of Visible Power actually abandon that desire so quickly? Not likely. Her situation, in some respects, is comparable to the San Diego Chargers.

The Chargers have been on a very good run for a number of years. If they don’t get over the hump, they’ll go down in history as one of the best teams to never win a Super Bowl. They’ve put all the pieces in place. They’ve moved pieces (very good pieces like Drew Brees and others). They’ve beaten good teams at home and on the road. They’ve dominated the regular season and struggled in the regular season. They’ve done damn near everything required — except get over the hump. It’s alot like Hillary. She’s plotted and planned, caressed and cajoled, cussed and kicked, cried and lied — and everything in between.

It still wasn’t enough. Maybe Barack is like the New York Giants - coming out of nowhere to knock off the Heir Apparent…you know the team that said, “We’ll take Eli.” Maybe Camp Hillary parted with a few too many advisors and ceded too much to an invisible competitor. When the spotlight moved from sunny California to the damp Meadowlands, the Giants were ready for their opportunity. At the most critical time, San Diego (like Hillary) was asleep at the wheel.

Which could work in or out of the favor of Obama
