Hillary Clinton's Convention
What's kind of weird about this convention is that at times it seems like Hillary Clinton -- who will be speaking tonight -- is about to accept the nomination for president. Little pockets of small but very vocal supporters who valiantly refuse to accept reality lurk around every corner.
Like this guy. Symbolism much?
More pics after the jump...
This is one of the little Clinton camps that Michael and I encountered on our Bataan Death March into downtown Denver yesterday. There was something bleak and soulless about them. This guy, I think, was selling water, soda, hot dogs and black bile to famished die hard supporters.
This is a Clinton parade we ran into once we finally made it into the city. Not a part of the parade. Those people in the picture were the entire parade. I've seen better.

did anyone else see hillary rosen on cnn TOTALLY get it wrong after H.Clinton's speech? she said that the unambiguous message of Ms. Clinton's speech was that everyone has to come together and vote for JOHN MCCAIN!
Hilarious!! i had to rewind it to make sure i heard her correctly. she went on to imply that only an idiot would get Clinton's message wrong. ouch.
no monarchy no Clintony in democracy
thank you Obama
Honestly - these supporters seem to be the only group in the world who claim vicitmization but maintain the separatist privilege to say "my way or the highway". With Obama's win a formerly very disrespectful HRC couls even end up on the supreme court, a position that suits her and that she would do wonderfully.
Stop blaming Obama for her lack of strategic wins (and funding - where were you for HRC then?) in strategic states and stop acting like she wouldn't be facing the same criticism (minus her race -since sadly many voted her not for her great contributions, but because she was not a black man).
Hillary is poised for lasting and great work and Obama is the inclusive leader we need and who would include her - His campaign that includes her, wants her and needs her, but he as a true leader Obama will not go silent when called incompetent and made to be a worse choice than McCain as Hillary at one point tried (and failed) to make him out to be. Yet every major leader she allied with wanted Obama from the start. Not because he was black or a man, being black is never an asset in this country when it comes to leadership. And Obama does not tout his differences unless to show the basic sameness.
Hillary is a great leader AND would not win this presidency. Swing voters will ask - why go for the kinda consevative when I have McCain. Sadly some will ask, "Why vote for the white women when I can have a white man"
This race is showing us the divisivness of our nation, yet Obama, and NOW Hillary are speaking in chorus. You are doing EXACTLY what the opposition wants and worse, you know it and revel in it. How many times have others groups seen their choice go unchosen and said "I'm still in it for this party"? All of them, except this group that is more into themselves and what they think than the greatest good.
Go ahead and take this "strike back for 'all women' " and vote for a man that is against your economic rights and equality, a man who calls his wife a C U next Tuesday. A man who deinies gay marriage and yet Barack is the huge sexist and homophobe - yeah, with an amazingly thoguthful and independent wife with strong LGBT support, a plan to leave the door open for marriage and encourage the movement towards it state by state (even while Hillary said on Logo, "civil unions, not marriage").
Do yourself the justice of thinking things through with real purpose. Obama is for team suffrage and that's that. Get over the rhetoric, lies and skin. The greatest blessing you have is that you wwill always be welcomed back. Fin.
I will not be voting for Obama.
