Liveblogging — HRC (7:33 pm)
“No way. No how. No McCain.”
Hey, whatddya know? An actual stump speech! Decked in radioactive orange, HRC dropped the hammer, and the crowd ate it up. The string of McCain hits was great — as was the line on the Twin cities.
But the real question remains — how will Obama pull in the PUMAS??!?!?!
And with that, I’m out to find a free beer. Thanks for indulging me.
I was so happy with the combination of an excellent and enjoyable speech and the clear and compelling statements about the consequences of abandoning the democratic nominee. (It’s about time!)
Did you see the sh*t-eating grin on Bill when she referred to the Clinton-era economic stuff? He’s so smarmy.
I think her acknowledgement of Michelle O has the possibility to nudge the reluctant to realize Hillary isn’t the only strong, smart woman in the world. Michelle will be a first lady (when will they be called “president’s spouse”?) that progressive women will be proud of. Of course I think it is clear that Hillary’s support did not come from progressives in a lot of cases!
