That’s the job of the Journalists and the Republicans. I may not be the perfect Democratic but I was moved by her speech and what she said, they way she said it and the timing of it. I probably would have voted for Barrack anyway, but I for sure am now. Hillary did a great job of endorsing Barrack. She stated that within the first few sentences of her speech. The part about the sisters of the traveling pantsuit, I think that was perfect. I think no matter what Hillary said, somebody would find fault. That’s the job of the Journalists and the Republicans.

First of all women have fought for gender equality through out the history of humanity and black people just for few hundreds years. However, that is an irrelevant issue! In order to acquire a better American society we need to focus on the issues of "today" with out color or gender, because that is only vanity and it creates division. It is not about where we come from, but where are we going? I think Hillary has done everything she should, based on her position. It is clear the if Obama had chosen her as his VP, he would have united the party. By not doing so, I can only think that either he has everything under control or his ego gets on the way.

They both care too much about this country for that.

She accomplished an amazingly difficult feat with poise and diginity. The is the true mark of a leader. How could anyone have the courage to get up in front of millions and go against their gut and intuition to try and bring order to the bigger picture. I applaud her for this. I am a life long democrat who will "not" be voting for Obama this election year. His inexperience being a great factor in my decision along with his problematic past affiliations. I have seen many of caucasians make stupid ignorant choices when it comes to racially insensitve situations go under both politically and socially. Yet for some reason there is a double standard applied to this man of supposed higher learning. One who may not have been present at the now historic incident where his preacher preached hate, but nonetheless was involved very intimatly in this man's congregation for years. This type of acceptance of hatred no matter how small can not be ingrained into any individual's character within my life, especially one that would want me to call him "Mr. President". This is just one of many reasons why I will vote for McCain..... Not that I believe McCain is the ideal choice. He is far from it. But I believe that when he becomes President. America will see more of the same. And just maybe the next time around. My party will get it right. Hey you may think my message makes not sense. But I will give you one stark cold piece of truth. There is a large number of voters who agree with my thoughs. Those are the ones that McCain is counting on. Those are the ones that will tip the scale. And only then will the failures both in the primaries and in America's zeal to put forth total inexperience as a candiate be revealed as a "disaster". I seem to remember from my history book a certain individual who had no experience yet desired change. He became President and it took almost 2 decades before another Democrat sat in the White House. How much damage are we willing to incur over a bunch of incoherent dreaming? How sad is it that even our fellow Republicans have been saying " The Presidency could very well be up for the Democrats this time around", yet we decided to give it all away?

Much of the experience Republicans are attacking Obama for lacking is nothing more than longevity. They are sorely irritated at his upstart, take-no prisoners rise to the top of US politics and feel he should wait his turn. Hillary failed to display experience, not once but twice. Once with her health initiative as first lady and then again in the most important campaign of her life. That's why she's not the nominee. No hard feelings; I gave some money today to retire her debt. This is the most important election in a generation; it determines whether America moves into the 21st century or stays stuck in the past.

I hve been following the election many times from the start last year until now. The thing that I keep wondering about is that alot of things have been said about Obama's inexperience and not ready to lead let alone or be the commander in chief. There is something that we must also remember, Obama was never an administrator like a long time in the senate or the congress. He was not a former governor of some state or a territory. This man if you put in this position and expect him to lead the country, and what if he makes a mistatke, or you going to tell the country that we made a mistake and lets do it over. No way. Biden tried twice and pulled out because he the democratic party didn't believe he can lead and not fit to be president. What makes you so sure he can do it now behind Obama as his ticket to the White House, not bad! Or may be Obama at 3 a.m. when the phone rings, he would say, call Joe, I am not good in foreign policy. When I was a politician once before, a good friend of mine said, politicians say things that are good for the ears but that does not mean it is also good for the country. Good Luck on your convention! It is 9:09pm here in American Samoa. I hve been following the election many times from the start last year until now.

News to the world: She is horrible at faking it, and this time, she was NOT. We saw her in the beginning saying that she was behind Obama but neither the public or Hillary herself believed that for a second. This was the first time I really felt her. She went negative and then i lost interest. To those Hillary Supporters who are willing to STILL vote McCain you've just proved your hidden bigotry. I'm tired of people hiding behind the cloak of "Well, he's inexperienced, well Hillary would have been better". If you are willing to go against what YOUR OWN BELIEFS you have proven what we all know is hiding underneath your everyday mask: You can't vote for a BLACK MAN. yes I pulled the race card because though i DO NOT believe that is MOST of America, i believe it is a large part. The people who say they can't vote for him because he didn't wear a flag lapel or because his name rhymes with Osama are looking for any reason to make it seem like they are not racist or bigots. Same goes for some of the black population. stop hiding guys. Just admit the REAL reason you can't vote for him. Just like some can't vote for Hillary because she's a woman. Again, though I THINK this is only a small fraction of America, i wonder how many have me fooled.

But when taxes and government spending sky rocket and you continue to see less return for you investment in our government you might think again. If you vote for him though think of it in this comparison. If you take someone in severe depression and replace them with someone with narcissism you are just going from one extreme to the other. The person in depression thinks they are nothing and the narcisist thinks they are better than anybody else. Wake up America, your representives in Washington cast out Clinton and gave Obama the nomination. The Clintons have a moderate record. Now you are stuck with Obama that has a Liberal agenda or McCain that at least has a more moderate record. In the end, if you vote for Obama you might as well kiss your pocket book goodbye.

McCain has many negatives in his personal and professional life yet he is coming through unscathed. McCain has run a very bad and negative campaign with mistakes galore yet he's basically tied with Obama in the polls. This is as pathetic as it gets.

The fact is we all know that Senator Clinton is going to be an important part of the Obama White House. She and Obama are planning on working together to bring our country back.

Alex, if you are not already a Republican, you'd make a great one. Your analysis reflect the type of thinking that you try to attribute to others: very articulate but masking the truth for one's personal agenda. Pundits and analysts should exhibit wisdom. Regrettably, this rarely occurs. As an independent voter, lacking the motivators of paid pundits, I found Hillary's endorsement to be refreshing, hopeful and inspiring. I'm never quite sure who disturbs me the most: politicians whose primary goals is to stay in office by pandering to special interest groups or "would be" journalists whose primary goal is to maintain high rating through..... pandering to special elements of the population.

So two things I wanna say: First, she did an exceptional job. Anyone criticizing this speech negatively is a real head case, I'm sorry. And secondly, for her supporters that are still on this jargon about voting for McCain, please go back and look at the crucial part of her speech where she asks you, were you in this for her or other reasons? If your true intentions were for her then why defy what she's imploring you all to do? For my fellow Obama supporters, it's time to give her a break and give credit where it's due. She did a wonderful job and for what it's worth, I truly believe she was sincere. I've been one of the Clintons' harshest critics these past few months but she really killed it tonight and she deserves her props, for real.
