Obama Needs Bill Clinton
I'm told by Clinton associates that the former president does not have any foreign travel planned between now and the election. I think that, if Obama is to win, Clinton needs to play a very crucial role.

Sure, hindsight is 20-20. But after watching Hillary and Bill Clinton's speeches over the past two nights, you have to believe that their rousing endorsements of Barack Obama were inevitable.
I'm sorry, but the theories that Hillary Clinton showed "exemplary grit and class" or that "it is no longer up to her" are preposterous. Hillary managed to make voting for Obama sound like taking Cod Liver Oil.
The Clintonites viewed Richardson's support of Obama as a betrayal of Biblical lengths, as Bill himself had been lobbying hard to get the New Mexico Governor's imprimatur.
There is one place where you can see and experience absolutely everything you might want to see in HD -- even if you don't have an television set or a DVR.
If unity is what the Democrats were looking for, they got it. The roll call vote was not expected to yield any surprises, and yet it did -- the timing was exquisite.
The night of Clintons Behaving Graciously and Joe Biden fighting with finesse was unexpected -- the first half of it was a most welcome change and a big step toward maturity.
The most fundamental difference in how Democrats and Republicans view middle class Americans revealed itself inadvertently in speeches during the second night of the convention in Denver.
The truth is that getting women to buy a book or bundt cake is one thing. Getting them to completely change their emotional allegiance is another.
Any resentments should be gone by tonight -- Hillary already rejected efforts by some renegade supporters not to get behind Obama. If Bubba urges unity, the "divided" story is effectively over.
In a night that was supposed to celebrate women and their achievements, why so many male speakers? Why did we get the bland white-toast Mark Warner and the anti-choice Bob Casey.
The Clintons' narcissism perfumed every bit of Hillary's campaign, and it leaked down to her contributors and followers. "Were you in it for me?" was the funniest line of her speech.
Hillary Clinton's job, we were told, was to unite her supporters behind Barack Obama. The speech she gave had several mentions apiece of her chosen themes -- only one thing was left out.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer -- now there's nothing to stop the Clintons, if they choose, from undermining an Obama presidency so Hillary can run in 2012.
The talking heads doubted she'd do it. The Hillary haters doubted she would do it. The anti-Clintonites doubted she could do it. But boy did she do it.
The Clintons are doing everything they can to make this convention all about them -- and to absolve themselves from the substantive criticism of both Clintonism and Bill Clinton's behavior on the campaign.

It's about time. Voting for Obama IS supporting Hillary!

Im tired of these people making money hand over fist, and by the time we realize their game its way too late.
Dems, on behalf of right-minded independents, please STOP BICKERING! Or do you want to lose another presidential race? My goodness!
