Welcome Howard, there's plenty of room in the tent. Its good that you have seen what so many of us saw from the beginning. Its never been about Hillary's unworthiness of being POTUS, its been about the rare confluence of immense potential which Barack Obama represents to lift all Americans of every race, creed, and gender from where we are now to where we'd like to be TOGETHER, and not just as parts of bickering coalitions.

No need to rehash what's past, its time to celebrate the triumph of what lies ahead if we work together in fashioning the future everyone's children deserve.

The journey is just beginning and the work will be long and hard, but thanks for joining us and committing to make unity the coin of our political realm instead of naked greed and blind partisanship.

And McBullshit thinks by nominating a clueless skirt from a state with less population than a big 10 football game is the answer.

Wolfson's an idiot. No wonder Hillary lost.

He's never heard an Obama speech, because he was busy answering emails? Then--seeing Obama for the first time, he was so overwhelmed that he ran out to the nearest typewriter to file his story? Another leftie-with-a-stiffy moment?

LOL. If Hillary's supporters were made up of people this fickle, McCain's plan is going to work perfectly. I remember a dig about Bill Clinton, when one of his advisors said that Bill was most prone to act accordingly to the last piece of advice he'd gotten. Voters like this will vote for the last good speech, the last good commercial. Which is why we have them, right through election day.

If that's the case McCain wouldn't have any support at all.

He's never given a good speech.

He's seldom released an honest commercial outside of him congratulating Obama on his historic acceptance, which indeed was a very, very classy move.

If you've read or watched anything about Obama, you'd already know his political style is the antithesis of Bill Clinton's. Obama, when offered it, takes time and seeks wise counsel before committing his name or reputation to something.

Wolfson saw Hillary inspire many to ask their children to dream big.

He never noticed that Obama represents that same dream without having had the benefit of being married to a former President.

Obama's journey was far more difficult and far more meaningful in raw terms of social significance because he did it entirely on his own, but for the help of everyone he encountered along his life's path.

Howard Wolfson is now looking for a job in the Obama administration. I say get lost.

"When Sen. Obama was confronted with questions over whether he was ready to be commander in chief and steward of the economy, he chose not to address those questions, but to attack Sen. Clinton," Wolfson said. "I for one do not believe that imitating Ken Starr is the way to win a Democratic primary election for president." Howard Wolfson, March 6, 2008.

Howard Wolfson is now looking for a job in the Obama administration. I say get lost.

Reading the entire short article, I don't get that impression, though I understand its a strong possibility nonetheless.

What I see is a person immersed in the politics of stewarding his employer to victory as the only means to his ends. Once he arrived at the finish-line not as the victor, he stopped and actually took the time to look around and see what others saw in his employer's conqueror.

He was both amazed and inspired by what he saw for the very first time without jaundiced eyes.

I only hope many other Clinton supporters do and see the same things which brought us to the conclusions we've reached and supported.

From the article:

Then came Thursday night at Invesco Field. During the campaign, we scoffed at events like this, mostly because we were not capable of producing them (et tu McCainites?). A cross section of voters waited for hours to enter the stadium and take their seats. As one friend put it, it looked more like an American convention than the convention of any particular political party.

Clinton delegates greeted one another with tears and hugs and were greeted in turn by Obama delegates. Several Obama supporters took my hand to thank me for what the Clinton's had said that week, urging that they stay involved in the campaign. Every so often, I would simply look around me, amazed at the significance not just of the day but of the entire campaign.

No one in recent history had attempted this kind of a political conversation with 84,000 people. Barack Obama pulled it off.

I like that you're so charitable, Tony. I have not personally yet found the redeeming nature of Wolfson or Harold Ickes for that matter. Time for them to get lost and stay away from candidates.

I am sure he is willing to try.

Tony seems as giddy as a school girl. I bet he would have obamas child if he could.

I am sure he is willing to try.

No, I just want my nation back that's all. I want it taken away from those only intent on dividing up the population so they can get ONE MORE VOTE than that evil other side and then drive this nation into a ditch, leaving their messes for other's to clean up like the petulant, impatient children they often resemble.

I love this nation and I thought the Constitution was to be defended, not cast aside with specious arguments that the law means whatever the President says it does.

The fact that you make fun of me only underscores just how oblivious to reality you choose to be for the sake of party.

If the new crew is as bad as the last one, I'll be the first to call for their banishment as well.

Just because Patriotism starts with a P, don't lose sight of the fact so does the word Patsie....

Could you be specific please. Show me examles.

I am a Dem, but I have a brain of my own and do not follow blindly.

I have a freaking tear in my eye.

There are a lot of people in this country, who, like Tony, have for the first time in a long time found a person who has the potential to be a transformational figure. A lot of people have set aside the cynicism and negative views to allow themselves to be hopeful that there is a politician who will try to do what he says.

Unfortunately, there are about an equal number who have given up on hope and have settled in to wallow in their cynicism and disdain for anyone who dares to have HOPE.

The latter group is the half of the country that we, who yearn for our beloved country to return to its leadership role in the world, must make sure that they lose their grip on power and influence.

EIGHT IS ENOUGH!

I like what you said and it seemed very heartfelt. I just have a problem with someone with so little experience. The VP's have nothing to do with this so let us not invlove them.
I truely do not know whom I am voting for.

tony if you would shut the fuck up perhaps some of the rest of us fence sitters wouldn't cringe at the thought of voting for obama because we would be in the same camp as you wierdo's.

Agreed. No telling how many voters Tony has annoyed with his Obama worship. The absolute best thing Tony can do for Obama is STFU.

Wow. You hit the underlying nail right on the head, Legio.

How many people here on DR, or even in the wider population, are reluctant to join the Obama wave due to the evangelical nutjobs they may have to be associated with? We have a woman here in the office who is in such a constant lather over Obama that people have taken to avoiding even making eye contact at the coffee station lest they be assaulted with her latest "Bush's fault"-"Obama is Jesus" psychosis. And God forbid you mention the price of gas or the latest hurricane prediction. Laugh and dismiss all you want, folks on the left. The syndrome is real. If Obama loses, expect the free mental health clinics to be full of these noodles in December.

That sounds great and all, but it has as much to do with Obama as his horoscope in the Sunday paper.

Did Hillary not encounter Bill in her "life's path"?
