So, now Obama and the DNC want to hold the roll call away from the main hall, and stop the vote partially through … just in case Hillary does well, which might embarrass Obama and the DNC. This is what happens when a candidate and a party manipulate the process, and try to force a candidate down the throats of the constituents. Obama might have trashed the Clintons, and gotten over 90% of the black vote, but in the process America has been thrown under the bus.

And here’s my thoughts; after tonight, the RNC better be shitting themselves because this is not the Democratic Party of 2004.

Not

all.

And I want to second Matt’s tweeting from Anna Marie Cox (did I get the verb conjugation right there?)… When Clinton started quoting Harriet Tubman, that was just insane. Absolutely, positively insane.

Legacy saved. Mission accomplished. Tuning into CNN to see how TBPTOT spins this to fit the lingering bitterness narrative.

This has been… Like I said, from the Janet Napolatino to Hillary Clinton was simply pitch perfect. Attack attack attack, didn’t give McCain an inch, and yet there was strong, very strong advocacy for Obama.

Biden’s going to clean some clocks when he takes the stage later this week, and seriously, you gotta think that Obama is just going to electrify these people.

I agree with you Kyle, Democrats should sleep well tonight knowing their party is serious and on the way to the White House.

HRC quoting Harrier Tubman marks the first time Hillary Clinton has given me chills. Where was this woman a year ago? I miss her.

Okay, I’m sorry, I’m not providing a whole lot of useful commentary at this moment, but here’s my great political insight on this. She just delivered the political speech of her career, and she just paved the way for the rest of this convention to be about not some discorded group of deranged individuals, but about winning.

You know, a lot of people were worried, but I’m not, not any more, this has been a killer night.

Olbermann said it clearly, “I don’t know how it could have been better.”

Hillary is simply on FIRE! This is about moving forward or slipping into hell! She is one hell of a campaigner. She kicked ass!

Look, it’s pretty clear after this, if you are a Hillary supporter, and this speech doesn’t put you firmly in Obama’s corner, you aren’t really a Hillary supporter.

Plain

and

simple.
