Democratic National Convention - Day 2
This session of the convention focused more on the common man so to speak. There were numerous 'average hard working' supporters of Sen. Obama that were able to tell their story and why they felt that he should be the next president. The governor of Virginia Tim Kaine gave the Keynote address tonight.
He spoke of family and coming together for the common good of the party. Not really a rebel rousing speech but it is what it is, I guess.
Next it's Senator Clinton's turn. her intro seems more like she is the Democratic nominee instead of Sen. Obama. I get that she has 18 million backers and all but a bit much. I'm not a big Chelsea fan anyway, met her before and she came off snobbish to me. She was introducing her mom.
Senator Clinton's speech was pretty much more of the same. She did not really rally her "girl scout troops" (as my mom calls them) behind Obama. Seems more like she just geared them up to vote for her in 4 more years. Even though she says he's her candidate it didn't seem sincere *no play on my name though*. I guess all that mudslinging she threw makes her hard for me to believe. In her entire speech she only referred to Senator Obama two or three times. The rest of the time she spent talking about what she did and what her husband did. All about herself and not the party. She did raise a great question though "Were you in it for me or the soldiers"? My question for her is "were you in it for yourself or the good of the country"? She did give Michelle Obama and Joe Biden their due props towards the end when she was getting her 'mojo' back. Her speech overall was inspirational but in the beginning I was a little skeptical of her motives. By the end she had me hooked and waiting for more. She may have won over some of those voters that went republican when she lost.
Thus ending another night of the convention.
