Do you remember when Obama was talking to his supporters praised Hillary and his supporters booed?
This was doing the primary and I don't remember which speech it was, but he quieted his supporters with "no no no no listen to what I'm saying.." or words to that effect. Then he went on to explain why Hillary's accomplishments were so important to him and all of our daugthers. After that when ever he praised Hillary there were no more boos from his supporters. I'm sure that speech/rally is on youtube, but I can't remember which one, it was late in the primary.

Notice a difference here?

DAY AFTER BOOS, PALIN SKIPS NOD TO CLINTON

From NBC/NJ's Matthew E. Berger
O’FALLON, MO -- While Gov. Sarah Palin gave essentially the same speech today as she has twice before, one big thing was missing -- any reference to Hillary Clinton.

Palin, the presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee, spoke alongside McCain and two former Republican presidential challengers -- Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney -- at a minor league baseball stadium here.

Snip

After that, she went back to the stump speech she delivered on Friday and Saturday. But she skipped the entire section in which she highlighted the achievement of having a woman on the ticket -- as well as her praise for those who came before her, Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton. Yesterday, when campaigning in Pennsylvania, she received some boos from the audience when Clinton’s name was mentioned.

It is unclear why the campaign cut the paragraphs, which were widely praised Friday for appealing to Clinton supporters who may feel disenfranchised by the Obama campaign, especially after Clinton was passed over for the vice presidential nomination.

1. Palin speaking at a minor league stadium is so fitting
It's almost poetic
