Obama's Convention Danger
Obama's strength is and has been the degree to which he promises a break from the way we've come to understand national politics. That is the opposite of the stage-managed convention.

'I haven't spent the past 35 years in the trenches advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women's rights at home and around the world.'
now, finally the truth from MRS Clinton who spent 35 years running for the presidency.
Hill.ary for Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare!!!
Yeah, I know. They are two departments now, but I'm prepared to reconsider that decision.
That speech and her empassioned delivery were among the best I've ever seen, and I was so not prepared to have that opinion before watching it.
As an ardent, long time supporter of Obama, I just want to say that Hillary delivered, big time! That was exactly the charge we needed, I hope we get more of the same from Bill.
I second that.
This speech sounded like it came from her and not her campaign managers. She should have run her campaign like this all along.
Like many people, I could pick apart the speech because it didn't reflect exactly the pitch I thought it should, but I have to take a stand here.
I have to take a stand against everyone acting as expert judges because a turn of a phrase didn't reflect their precise rarified criteria.
I have to take a stand against those who speak as though they are experts when they didn't inform their opinions based on fact, rather than parroted, unexamined misconceptions.
Therefore, as a devout Obama supporter, I will say she did more than what was asked of her in her speech. I hope she makes a direct statement to the still recalcitrant supporters of hers to cast their vote for Obama, as a personal favor to her. If that doesn't sway them, I'd have to wonder if their hearts are really in the right place.
