rtr21qb9.jpgFormer White House hopeful Hillary Clinton offered a forceful speech at the Democratic National Convention aimed at convincing her backers to throw their support to the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and reunite their party.

With the stakes high, do her supporters believe she made the case for throwing their backing to Obama? Will the party factions start to coalesce around their candidate for November?

Just out of pure curiosity to the libertarian who was going to vote Clinton…

…isn’t a candidate who aggressively supports universal healthcare basically the opposite of a libertarian’s ideal president?

Lame Grace, Hillie was pouring acid on Obama during the primaries. Her of the negative ads, gimme a break on the delusional ‘Hillary-as-victim’ faux narrative. Bolox

Mrs. Clinton is not quitting. The message is written in stone. “Keep going.” It takes no reach at all to conclude that the HRC supporters at the convention, in the country, understand that they are not beaten, not second best, not good losers, not cowed or tainted or forgotten. “Keep going.” And how does this work practically? Wait out the Obama phenomenon, stand back and let the second best man lose in November, and then begin again for 2012. Before Mrs. Clinton finished her speech, it was everywhere that while she would attend the Nuremberg rally of a celebration at Invesco for the candidate’s words of change on Thursday, President Clinton would depart Denver earlier in the day. Back on the trail for the next Clinton presidency, when Chelsea Clinton will get the opportunity to vote for her mother for president at the final poll.
