Hillary Gets Keynote Slot At Convention. Same Night 19th Amendment (Women's Vote) Ratified!

[KittyWampus]

CNN is reporting that Hillary will speak on the second night of the convention -- the traditional keynote slot that launched Barack Obama's national career last time around. "Tuesday night is Hillary night," a Hillary supporter told CNN.

Fun historical fact: That night of the convention will be the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which guarantees the right of women to vote. In honor of both that history and her own historic candidacy, Hillary will be joined on stage by all the other female Democratic Senators.

1. That's makes sense. I'm glad to hear it...

Very nice symbolism too. Coincidence or were the convention dates initially selected with, er, a different result in mind?

In any case, I'm also curious who will nominate Obama. My vote is for Teddy.

2. I hope it's Teddy as well.

That would be a great moment.

6. wow.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

8. Just the type of person Hillary is. She was trying to force him to choose her as VP

until her key supporters told her it was the wrong way to go about it.

10. you have no basis on which to make that claim

and still you continue to show your hatred for the distinguished Senator.

12. Do you have anything to back up that statement?

Edit spelling.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. What makes you so sure she demanded anything? She has been cooperating with Obama's

campaign since she ended her own.

4. It's a prestigious speaking slot... but yesterday, Hillary fans were calling it "condescending"

13. I feel great animosity towards DUers who still feel the necessity to come on any

Hillary post and make disparaging remarks about the Clintons.

19. What this can put forward is stay with Democrats work in the party and women become stronger.
