Some Speech Thoughts

June 8th 2008 09:44

Well I was sitting in front of my TV today at 5pm on the dot, but no Senator Clinton, I flicked channels for a while before I realized I might as well do something else. Thankfully I left the TV on and once I heard the Senator speaking, I settled in to listen to the words of unity. It was a great speech, possibly the best one she has given so far and no one could disagree with that but did it accomplish the desired affect? That being to unite the party...I am under no illusion that a single speech will change the minds of the millions of loyal Hillary supporters but perhaps this is the start of the process of unification? I hope so, because I really do believe that the party needs unity going into the general election to defeat the embedded GOP. I am really tired of referencing Hillaryis44.org in this blog but I am sure they represent a portion of the hillary base that is still quite angry. If you have a look at this site today after the concession speech, they are still hating Obama and talking about voting for McCain. Do we need them? Should we court them? Those are the questions I want to answer or hopefully someone will answer them for me. My favorite part of the speech:

The way to continue our fight now, to accomplish the goals for which we stand, is to take our energy, our passion, our strength, and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States.

I think it will do the job. Most democrats who supported Hillary will be quite happy to support Obama.

Hey Harry, well If you have a look at that site I mentioned in the post and Taylor Marsh, both those sites declare and actively encourage people not to vote for Senator Obama which is simply ludicrous. But whether these sites represent a significant population is debatable?
