Democrats Seek Unity at National Convention as Runner-Up Takes Center Stage


<snip>

Democratic officials passed out "Hillary" signs to delegates and as Clinton walked on stage, delegates were cheering so loud and so long she had trouble beginning her speech.

"My friends it is time to take back the country we love and whether you voted for me or whether you voted for Barack, the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose," she said.

1. "We don't need four more years of the last eight years."

Excellent.

[Zhade]

24. Great one-liner!

NT!

[JDPriestly]

2. Hillary at her best, and that means really, really good.

[blossomstar]

3. Obama NEEDS the Clinton's.

He is wise to include them. Al Gore wasn't so wise... If he'd included Bill Clinton, he would have won by a landslide. Obama is one smart politician! YES WE CAN!!! Hillary's speech was EXCEPTIONAL!!!!

[Magleetis]

4. She delivered

Thank you Hilary.

[Trajan]

5. GREAT speech ....

I never picked one candidate over the other .... ever ... not throughout the entire primary season (OK ... I would NOT EVER vote for Liebermann .... )

Why ? ... Because I have a set of values that form, more or less, the set of Democratic party values that I had learned, rightly or wrongly, from the likes of FDR, JFK, LBJ, et al ....

Those values were NOT tied to one person ... NOT to one clique or personality .... NOT to any specific candidate whatsoever: but ONLY to the goals and values as promoted by the Democratic party thinkers of the last 80 years ....

This isnt about Hillary or Obama .... it is about YOU ...

This isnt about one group of Democrats versus another ... This is about YOUR and MY children ....

She shut down notions of ego ... she rejected the cult of personality that had surrounded her ....

She was extraordinary ....

Thank you Hillary ....

[Cassandra]

43. That cult of personality, including some of the creeps...

she had working for her, was what put me off. I was so glad she pushed back on that and pointed out strongly her differences with McCain. If the primary season had been fought on those grounds (who can bash McCain better), the length of the primaries would have been a major asset to the party instead of the worrying annoyance that it became.

[Matariki]

6. Interesting slip ABC news made:

"Listening intently in a sky box was first lady Michelle Obama came to hear Clinton speak, sitting beside vice presidential candidate Joe Biden. "

[Alexander]

27. They know the truth.

Michelle Obama will be First Lady.

[petwlkr]

7. Finally!!!

I saw tonight, for the first time in many months; the Hillary I know and love. Welcome back girlfriend, you have been sorely missed.

Now let's get busy. It's time to bring your "A" game, unite behind Obama, roll up your sleeves; and start mopping the floor with McCain.

No way, no how, NO McCain!!!!!

[Skarbrowe]

8. Thank you Hillary! I cried through out the whole speech. Now I know

how die-hard Obama supporters must feel about him. How much he moves them to tears and they want him to win so badly. I will proudly vote for Obama and be happy as clam that Hillary Rodham Clinton is helping us in the Senate. I want her to be around a long, long time.

I can't wait to vote for Barack Obama for president!!!!!!

But, my heart will always belong to Hillary.

[petwlkr]

12. Can you say....

...Senate Majority Leader Hillary Clinton?

[qwlauren35]

14. Sweet words... my fingers are crossed.

I think she'd put Pelosi to shame.

[Zhade]

25. A ten-year-old Girl Scout would put Pelosi to shame. They actually stick to their oaths.

NT!

[louis-t]

48. I think every person has a job they were meant to do.

Maybe that's hers. This is the reason the neocon ideology doesn't work. It involves putting people in position of power based on loyalty, not talent.

[Skarbrowe]

16. I can almost say that I want to move to Washington DC so I can

see Hillary at work in the Senate. :)

[JoePhilly]

33. Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton

THAT would drive the right wing absolutely INSANE!!!!!!!

[leftynyc]

39. How about Attorney General

Let her and a Democratic Justice Department take a crack at the criminals we've had shitting all over the constitution for the last 8 years.

[Citizen_Penn]

52. Yes, I can

That's a worthy position - and one I'd like to see.

Can you imagine how much more powerful she'd be in that role?

Perhaps then, universal health care.

Good thought!

[sushi]

9. What a woman!

She should have been the top of the ticket, imo!

11. H. Clinton put forth a wonderful effort tonight. I am very proud of her and

proud to be a Democrat tonight.

[Love Bug]

13. As someone who lives in the Twin Cities,

when she said it's a good thing Bush and McCain are coming here because you can't tell them apart, I laughed my ass off!

It was a brilliant speech -- she really hit one out of the park!

[beachbum]

15. Hillary Rocks!!!

I am also a proud democrat, proud to vote for Barack, proud supporter of Hillary, happy to have witnessed her campaign and so happy to have witnessed political history tonight - her address at the convention will be replayed for years to come. The only thing better would be to have been in the Pepsi Center tonight!!!!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

17. I will admit

I was worried about this speech. Stupid on my part, she knocked it out of the park.

[orleans]

18. good speech. i could've cried (but i didn't--several times i wanted to)

i'm glad she came through--she was strong & powerful and effective.

...when was she going to release her delegates? i thought that might be a final umph but it didn't happen.

[Dead Elephant]

19. She gave a very classy speech

Democrats unite!!!

Stop the drama vote obama

[tosh]

21. "She gave a very classy speech"

And our Party is looking very classy this election year. I think we've finally got our groove back, in the nick of time.

No way, No how, No McCain!!!

[northofdenali]

20. Hillary can be a terrific uniter - and proved it once again tonight.

It wasn't her time - yet. Note the yet. I know my mom gave up very reluctantly, and is now a major Obama/Biden supporter, but loves her some Hill.

Hillary did great; she'll help keep us together to win this most important, most critical election of my lifetime. She deserves praise, respect, and the honor that she alone has earned.

I've been Obama for a while; had Hillary won the nomination, there's no doubt in my mind that Barack would be as strongly pro-Hillary as she is now pro-Obama.

Keep it together, Dems - together,

WE WILL WIN THIS

[leftynyc]

40. Can you have your mom call my mom

I haven't spoken to her this morning but she's having to be dragged (kicking and screaming) into the Obama camp that the rest of my family is firmly entrenched in. I hope Hillary's speech puts her over the top.

[NBachers]

22. I'm Contributing to Her Again

Hillary did so extraordinarily good that I'm showing my appreciation in the most significant way possible- I'm going to her donation page and sending her a contribution.

https://contribute.hillarycampaign2008.com/contribute.html?sc=2507

On edit: I'm sending a fax of appreciation, so they'll have an actual physical document to read.

Fax: [phone]

[progressivebydesign]

23. What an unbelievable night! Hillary was the Hillary we love...

And Kucinich, he just rocked the house! Because I was such a staunch Hillary supporter, I took her request to heart when she ended her bid, and I've thrown my support to Obama (got my bumper sticker on the car this week!) Hopefully, Hillary has shown some people who weren't open to her, what she brings to the table for Obama. There is a reason why half the Dems in the primaries voted for her. I was so proud of her tonight, and my fellow Dems who gave her love.

[ixat]

26. Wow. She hit this one clean out of the park.

Obama supporter since before it was cool, and yes, during those testy days around Pennsylvania I did curse and gnash my teeth, but she really did great here. This couldn't have been easy for Hillary, but the speech was an absolute barn-burner, she hammered every word like a nail in the GOP's coffin. Here's someone you really want on your side.

[Alexander]

28. It was an excellent speech. Clinton and Schweitzer stole the show tonight.

[FirstLight]

29. During the clapping & cheering did you see bill's face?

She hadn't even taken the poduim yet, and he was sying over & over as he clapped "I love you, I love you"

pretty cool intimate moment in the midst of the crowd :)

I hope she swayed the folks like my mom, it is better to unite than to fight!
yay!

[deacon]

30. She was great and dennis rocked. n/t No more of the same with mccain. n/t

[Apollo11]

31. HILLARY HIT A HOME RUN!

AWESOME SPEECH! B-)

LOVED IT! :applause:

K&R :kick:

Bill Clinton and Joe Biden will have a tough job to follow her speech.

[caseycoon]

32. She did a wonderful job

Hillary brought me to tears. I never expected that!
THANKS HILLARY!
:applause:

[happygoluckytoyou]

34. Speech brought tears to me...MORE IMPORTANT... brought tears to the f'ing GOP!!!!!!!!

[pleah]

35. Hillary Clinton IS great asset to Barrack Obama.

And, she proved it with this speech. All those great one liners about McWar are priceless.
:applause: :applause: :applause: :woohoo:

[connecticut yankee]

36. If I ever liked Hillary

I LOVE her now!

She was fantastic -- such style - such grace.

And Bill's face was glowing with love and pride.

I was never in favor of her for the nomination, but I always thought she was terrific!

[maple25]

37. Fabulous!

She was amazing! I hope this finally shuts up the Hillary haters. She is doing everything she can to get a Democratic elected as President. She deserves our respect and admiration. If I had daughters, I would point to her as a role model.
OT-Did anyone else see the article on CNN.com called "Did Hillary do enough?". Asshats.

[whathehell]

55. It's "Did Hillary do enough" and "Has Obama done enough"..?

anything to refrain from being completely positive, anthing to sow doubts so that they can have their wished-for Repuke win...The only people on I trust on the M$M are Moyers,Maddow and Olbermann.

..And Hillary must have disappointed the nay-sayers, because she was TERRIFIC!!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

38. Good slogan

.

[MasonJar]

41. I am so proud of Hillary and the dems today. What a class act she is!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

42. After this, can any so-called Clinton supporter

vote for McCain? The PUMAs are dead, their little scam exposed.

[Pab Sungenis]

44. Thank you, Hillary.

This helps make up for the divisiveness of the primary. Now we can go into November united.

[hamsterjill]

45. What a fighter!

Hillary was awesome and her speech was sheer perfection.

Regardless of who you supported in the primaries, this lady made history with her campaign and should rightly and properly be honored for that accomplishment.

When she speaks to the issues of women in this country, it is because she understands those issues personally. She's triumphed over the "boys clubs" in Washington, and she has a right to be proud of her efforts.

Obama is a smart man to try to enlist her as an ally. And Hillary and Bill are both smart enough to know that the country truly DOES NOT need another Republican president, so I believe their efforts to unite the party are genuine.

Pelosi - watch out!!!

[AllyCat]

46. A classy lady. Nice job Ms. Clinton! n/t

[Rambis]

47. I smell scorched PUMA

:hi:

[louis-t]

49. 2 really good slogans.

NWNHNMC, and we can't take 4 more years of the last 8 years.

[Sequoia]

50. Great speech, but that ugly orange pantsuit...she needs a fasion makeover.

All those pantsuits of hers are downright ugly. Reminds me of the style of China's Cultural Revolution when everyone had to wear those blue jackets with matching pants.

[kmac3]

51. K & R Thank you Hillary . . . .

Awesome

:yourock:

[Froward69]

53. my favorite line

"dubya and mcSame, twins in the twin cities" fitting... I will be using it.

[ailsagirl]

54. It would make a great bumpersticker!!

No how
No way
No McCain


:kick:

[hasssan1]

56. THANK YOU HILLARY 'No Way, No How, No McCain' - FUCK MCCAIN

[K8-EEE]

57. I want a No WAY No HOW bumper sticker!

NO MCCAIN!!!

[hasssan1]

58. ME TOO , PLEASE SOME ONE START MAKING IT
