How Did Clinton, Biden Do?

I love Bill! He and Hillary did an awesome job but I still will not vote for BO and for many reasons. The most important one is that I am not a hypocrite! I can not vote for someone that I debated all their weaknesses and now say it is okay, I didn’t really mean it! BO WILL NOT GET MY VOTE! Michelle makes me sick! They keep asking everything of the Clinton’s to unite the party but do nothing in return! That is the way he will be in office if were to get elected. He is on his own now!

Great speach by Clinton but it was all BS. How can someone who spent the past 18 months telling us all the reasons why Obama is not qualified to be Pres and then Clinton is backed into a wall. I am voting McCain.

how good of a leader is hillary if she can’t even get her loyal supporters to vote for the democratic nominee over the republican? Get some brains hillites.

I can see some Republicans claiming to be Democrats on this blog.
By the way, this is a democratic country so you are free to vote for whoever you think is best for this country.
Right now I am leaning towards OBAMA unless McCain can prove to me that he is not another Bush and he has policy prescriptions that will take this country to prosperity that is based on social justice.
All I hear from the McCain campaign at the moment is Obama is this Obama is that.
This election is NOT about Obama. It is about the American people.

Wow. Bill Clinton is back. I was amazed and pleased by his speech. I do not know what or who got him on the bandwagon but thank goodness he is there now. The Bill Clinton last night was the Bill Clinton that we all know and love(or loathe). The Bill Clinton who could sell icecream to Eskimos is back. I hope he stays.
Joe Biden was also great and I look foreward to find out more about him. He and Obama will make a great team.

Bill Clinton did great! He was more than generous with his platitudes. However, I take his comment about Obama being ready to be President with a grain of salt. It could also mean ready to be a President by surrounding himself with the old establishment and lobbyists, as the campaign and convention has shown….Any which way Clinton’s speech is parsed, I’m still voting for McCain since the DNC failed to pick up the best, qualified candidate. I’m still at awe on how a Freshman Senator could possibly run this country. I’m assuming that Obama will be a puppet for the Kennedys, Pelosis and the extreme left-wing of the party. Yikes!

One has to admit, Hillary kept her butt in the primary process way too long and carved into Obama, mercilessly. She could have single handedly cost us 4 years of McBushleague.
This self centered attitude of hers is no better than the Retreadlicans.
For the first woman with a real chance, she sure slaughtered it for the next woman.

Sadly, it seems that many of the Clinton supporters must have been voting on a personality rather than the issues. If you line Hillary’s views side by side with McCain and Obama, there is no way that you could choose McCain as closer to her stands on issues. So, how could you think of supporting a candidate with plans so different from the candidate you supported? It just doesn’t make sense.

Barack killed em with kindness.
Cynics, did you know that’s the way of God? In case you didn’t know it, God is blessing Obama.
“Ordinary people can do extraordinary things”
WE DID IT!
POTUS OBAMA – ITS INEVITABLE

I like Bill and Hillary, but no way i willvote for BO, I THINK BOTH HILL AND BILL NEED ASTICK TO THEIR HEADS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY BRAINS, 18 MNTHS TRYING TO HILL ELECTED NOW THEY BOTH SINGING A NEW SONG, GET REAL PEOPLE IT IS mCCAIN FOR THIS DEM GET MY VOTE

Bill Clinton blew the roof off that joint. Biden, not so much though his son was great.
Clinton made the case for Obama he has not yet been able to make for himself. If he cannot close the deal after what the Clintons have handed him, he deserves to lose.

ABANDON SHIP! WE’RE TAKING ON WATER!!!
This DNC Convention is bringing the cynics to their knees. It’s so good, they love to hate it.
What happened to PUMA?
Cmon cynics. Wrong again, huh? Your Motus Operandi, as we all know is crying Wolf.
THIS IS GOING TO BE LANDSLIDE
POTUS OBAMA – ITS INEVITABLE

Good morning Republicans pretending to be Democrats.

I am a democrat who is voting for Mccain
thanks BILL and Hill for opening my eyes

For all those who say I won’t be hypocrite after debating Obama’s weaknesses…
It’s time for a clearing of the decks so to speak…
whatever his weaknesses you perceive…
It comes down to exactly these three questions/statements…addressed in Joe Biden’s speech…
(and at this point if you think Biden is a blowhard you weren’t watching the guy’s life last night)
We need a wise leader not a good soldier.
Anyone who has been to question and answer sessions with both of these candidates McCain and Obama, knows how weel McCain does NOT do with any follow up questions. He is propped up for an election. Almost every other follow up is greeted with a joke or some tough 30 second sound bite you have heard a thousand times before. and if there is a third… the person who asked is cut off. Obama seriously tries to answer…and even if it is all for show…
and I have seen these guys over the past year and a half many times.
The next is “Has the last 8 years been good for you?”
As much as everyone wants to spin it saying “oh John mcCain is not George Bush” no…but his promises and his policies are almost EXACTLY the same.
So if 8 years has been good for you then go with the guy promising not to change that plan (he may say we are going to change…but look at the details…they are almost EXACTLY the same).
and lastly
“John McCain was right on the surge bringing down violence…that’s it.”
The only thing in foreign policy he has been right about…
but what he was wrong on and Obama was right on…is too much for this commentary… and as far as the surge goes…
the goal was political reconciliation so we could leave. That was the goal…the violence reduction was the tool.
That goal is still far far off… maybe decades away. That is why mcCain wanted to stay…but McCain doesn’t care about the tax it is taking on our wallets, doesn’t prioritize what it has done to our and would continue to do our military, and has no understanding of how that would continue to be a stick in the hornet’s nest of aculture’s he has clearly shown he has no understanding of…
If you needed to pound a nail into a wall… would you say it worked because the hammer hit the nail.
The goal of the surge was to have a safe and stable Iraq… the reduction of violence was the tool not the goal…
I think the selection is clear.

The clintons did great Bill said Barack can get the job done so in other words president bill feels Barack has the JUDGEMENT AND EXPERIENCE TO BE PRESIDENT!!! remember what hillary said NO WAY NO HOW NO MCCAIN!!!! Biden said obama has been right and mccain is wrong enough said BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT! REPUBLICANS BE SCARED BE VERY SCARED OBAMA/BIDEN08

I knew it all along the PUMAS were republicans trying to tear up the dems CANT DO IT PUMAS PRESIDENT OBAMA IS UNSTOPABLE!

Bill Clinton did a great job with his speech! Joe Biden did a great job with his speech!
It’s now time to get down to business and take back the White House.
For those of you who won’t vote for Barack Obama because of the color of his skin, or you don’t like him, then don’t. It’s a free country.
Please remember, the primary was Hillary’s to win, and she didn’t. She took too much for granted. She didn’t keep her eyes on the prize because she thought she had already won it. She thought Barack Obama was a non-issue. But how quickly things changed.
Obama won the primary fair and square, and if some of you can’t figure that out, shame on you!
If Hillary supporters want to turn to McCain, if you are that stupid, go ahead ! You are the ones who will be complaining later.
It’s too bad that even Hillary’s words couldn’t change the minds of some of you diehards. You can’t see the forest for the trees! Common sense is not your strong suit.
Wake up America!

Joe Biden is so plastic, you have to wonder what Obama was thinking when he selected him to be his vice-president.
Biden has 35 years in the U.S. Senate, which shows that he is not about change, but only on the ticket to counter Obama’s glaring inexperience.
The Democrats could have done a lot better than pairing a rookie U.S. Senator with a plastic politician.

Biden appearing on The Daily Show, August 2, 2005: “John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who…”

Biden aligns with Bush on:
Iraq War..
War with Iran..
Tax Cuts for the rich..
Foreign Policy..
Gun Control..
Budget & Economy..
Education..
Homeland Security..
Supreme Court..
Crime..
Government Reform..
Health Care..
Abortion..
Free Trade..
Cuba..
Civil Rights..
Social Security..
Immigration..
Welfare & Poverty..
Corporations..
Energy & Oil..
Environment..
Principles & Values
Obama/Biden = another 4 years for Bush?

rockthebleachers,
You seem to conveniently forget that Bill Clinton was impeached. You may blame Republicans for that but it was Bill’s recklessness that gave the Republicans something to pursue. I voted for Bill twice and am extremely upset with him for that reason. Hillary was just not extension of Bill..It was the Clintons’ embarassments that cost the Gore to lose the 2000 election. Clinton supporters have not faced that fact. Obama was right to position himself opposite of that. For the life of me I cannot understand why Hillary supporters, whom I presume consider themselves Democrats, would rather a Republican serve in the White House and kill all chance of moving forward their priorities than Obama who certainly would be open to them and possibly even beholden to them. If you are a Democrat you should support the Democratic nominee….otherwise leave the party….I am Independent who supports Obama….McCain is nothing more than a Bush clone and will beholden to the Conservative agenda if elected..He is not an Independent as evidenced by the way he is conducted campaign and the stances he has flip-flopped to…

Ahhhhhhhh, the sweet smell of victory!

indy_voter – you should not talk about things you do not know. You are probably one of those Independent hypocrites that vote for people like Dan Burton too. Just remember when you cast your vote in Indy for BO I will probably be in the voting booth right next to you wiping yours out.

Obama may win, just like Obama’s pal Deval Patrick in Massachusetts won as governor. Did you happen to notice that Massachusetts voted for Hillary in the primary? This is because we’re very unhappy with Deval, whose solution to everything is to legalize gambling, the most regressive form of tax. The people of Massachusetts learned the hard way that “yes we can” is a meaningless statement. Obama supporters: consider your options carefully.

Bill Clinton’s speech was masterwork of American political oration. I salute you! Such a complement to Hillary Clinton’s brillient speech the day before. I know now why I love them both. I hope Barack Obama can rise up to the occasion, with substance in what he says; not just with Oprah style media hoopla he’s good at. People want substance not just show…

NielPA,
See you at the Inauguration Sweetie!
Tune in tonight for a preview.

It must bother you that Joe Biden is Obama’s running mate.

Does anybody understand why they decided to stop delegate the vote midway? Was there a chance that Hillary could have won? I don’t see any discussion of this in the press.

Democrats are nominating the most radical major party candidate in history, whose thin record is relentlessly hard left, and whose rhetoric of change and hope cannot cover the fact that he has never worked across the aisle, has never sought to reform the deeply corrupt Chicago or Illinois political machines, and that he is hopelessly out of his depth on foreign policy and national security issues.

Garbage in, garbage out. I am amazed at their hypocrisy. Before the Clintons and Biden couldn’t say enough bad things about Obama. Now they have done a complete turnaround? Which is it? A few weeks ago they felt Obama was too wet behind the ears to take on the leadership of our country. But the real clincher is the fact that Obama picked a running mate who he admits has the experience he doesn’t have. That tells me they were right on the first go round. Does the democratic party really think they can construct a happy and peaceful society on the blood of the innocents, eroticism, the manipulation of human life and food sources,and other unmentionable practices they speak of so glibly and casually? Heath, education, social justice and the like are impossible to build without the structure of a strong family unit and the respect for the most basic value of human life. Roman civilization prevailed for 400 years, but they too lost sight of the most basic tenets of a moral society which caused their downfall.

tina:
Actually our family thought the same thing—
After the DNC reinstated the FL and MI delegates; we thought that just might have put Hillary over.
This election is a fraud–the process is a fraud–my family who have been democrats all their adult lives, are either not voting, switching parties, or voting McCain; seriously.
Our votes were absolutely ignored. Why vote. Thanks alot Clinton. Why is it that politicans would rather fall in line with their party, than fall in line with the people.
Kerry and Edwards did it.
Gore did it.
Hillary/Bill Clinton did it.
We are done with the democratic party for good.

OBAMA/BIDEN – VICTORY IS INEVITABLE

Nobody does it better than Bill!!A fabulous speech that outlined the Dem message and the urgent need for change. Superbly on-message and incredible delivery. He’s still the best communicator on the planet.
Joe Biden’s son gave a tremendously moving intro for him. Joe Biden gave a very good speech, though you could tell he was a bit overwhelmed by the emotion of the moment. But Biden has a great story and is a very good man and also hit all the right notes. As someone said, he grounds the ticket!

All this PUMA stuff on here are just republican trolls trying to get on peoples nerves.

As a big Hillary supporter, I loved her speeh tuesday and bill’s was wonderful. I would have loved to see Hillary make history as the first woman president but it looks like women will have to wait again(black men got the right to vote before women), but as an african american female I now feel I am ready to help Obama make history.

Bill and Hillary both “endorse” Obama, but who do you think they really want to win so Hillary can run again in 2012?

The Clinton’s have always been great speakers, they have to unite the party or they might as well as hand McCain The White House. Sometimes I feel the media, and the attack ads insult our intelligence. Now were talking about experience for the job, that wasn’t a issue during the primaries, if that were the case the public would have voted that way then, and the democratic ticket would say BIDEN/OBAMA instead. Everyone knows Joe was the most qualified for the job.

YES WE CAN!!!

rockthebleachers,
Vote for who you like or dislike…just don’t consider yourself a Democrat if you vote Republican. You’re being dishonest with yourself. McCain offers nothing for Democrats.
