Democratic Convention

It is Day 3 of the Democratic Convention and so much has happened since my last political blogpost. Sen. Obama chose Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware as he VP pick. Most feel that it was a good choice. Sen. Biden has strong foreign policy credability and he is tough. He can say things that Obama won't and can't say. I was extremely happy with the choice and was excited about my 3am text message about the announcement!


Day 1 of the Convention featured Michelle Obama and she was fabulous. She tugged at the heart strings of America. She let you know about her life and Sen. Obama's life. I think America really got to see what makes this family tick. At the end of her speech when Sen. Obama appeared it was so beautiful to hear is lovely daughters asking where their daddy was. Such a natural and private moment that the world was able to see.


On Day 2, Sen. Clinton knocked it out of the park! She explained in no uncertain terms, regardless of what the right wants to tell you, why we should vote for Barack Obama! She reminded Democrats of their duty and their focus on the issues. When she asked, "Were you in this for me? Or was it because of the important issues of the day?" That was a pivotal question that Hillary supporters will have to reflect upon. I am sure that if they listened to her they will follow their instincts and what they know is right and support Sen. Obama. Sen. Clinton did what she needed to do and her speech reminded me of why I have always loved the Clinton family. Thank you Sen. Clinton for leading the way toward unity in the Democratic party.
Stay tuned to my posting for Day 3 which will feature President Clinton. I am watching now and so far so good.
