Hillary just did a fantastic job of highlighting the perils of a McCain presidency. She railed against him on foreign policy, on women's rights, and on his being a spitting image of John McCain. "How will this hurt Obama," they will say. Fuck them, here's to Hillary. She has teeth, and they are chomping at the bit to bite the liver spotted ass of John McCain.
How awesome was the response she was given? Any so called "PUMA" who didn't decide to support Barack tonight has always been republican swine. My prediction, Joe will say that she is positioning herself for a more prominent role in the Senate, and that she was somehow disingenuous in her speech. GRAB A FUCKING SHOVEL JOE!
There's no spin, she did everything but plant a big wet one on Obama. Keith is gushing right now, and I will update this soon. I want to catch KO's analysis.
UPDATE: Tweety's on board too. He thinks she "moved a locomotive towards something."
UPDATE 2: Chris says that she has successfully tied Obama to Herself and President Clinton, and that with John McCain's positions lately, it makes sense that they will appear together next week because these days it's hard to tell them apart.
UPDATE 3: KO says that no one other than Hillary could have done this, and that she basically said that if you heard this speech and you vote for McCain, you have personally offended her.
UPDATE 4: A fervent supporter of HRC just said that she is now a little sad, but that she is 100% behind Barack Obama and Joe Biden. AM just admitted, that the message was delivered and recieved! She just stated that there is more unity than the TM has been reporting.
MAJOR FRAKKING UPDATE: KO just said, "You're watching MSNBC's live coverage of what we can now probably describe as, the united Democratic Convention.
UPDATE 6: McCain's response in from Tucker Bounds,"Nowhere tonight did she alter [her assessment that Barack Obama is unfit to lead]" KO said it was nuance, and it didn't hold water.
