I've never seen those before.

Got to be one of the strongest people I've ever laid eyes on.

did you see pres. clinton? that kid looks like hes gonna cry.

she looks sad to me

WOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

Listen to the lady in the pantsuit sing!

That wasn't subtle. Also what a lot of people wanted to hear her say. For her to lead with it, no less, should shut a lot of people up.

Great

No way.  No how.

No McCain.

HRC 2016!!!!!!

The image that my somewhat geeky mind is getting is Clinton up there with a sword, hacking away at the McCain campaign.

This is the vitriol and strength this convention was waiting for :).  Not everybody can go on the offensive, you don't want to be too "negative," but so far, this is a strong speech.

cry..

wow this has just been a great speech from the get go, she really just made a supporter out of me tonight.

sister of the traveling pantsuits!

great line....

I loved "none of us can sit on the sidelines". A message aimed dead at the PUMAs.

She is great.

surely she must be pretending, she must have something up her sleeve, I know she's planning to run in 2012...commenters in the top recommended diary at DKos told me so.

I hope the tiresome paranoia of the Hillary-haters will end tonight. Some Obama supporters have trouble accepting that the Clintons are not trying to sabotage Obama.

Shit, she's doing great!

well, there WAS a reason why she got so many votes.

she is no slouch.

To Hillary!

No one holds a candle to her as far as I am concerned. We are all losing the opportunity to have this incredible woman as our President.

She looks like she's settled into her new role. And it certainly looks like her heart is in it.

We love you Hillary! You are so strong and brilliant, never stop fighting for us!

getting my fix from all of you.

I WILL be watching this tonight!

Progressive Blue

Perhaps now the idiot talking heads can move on.

She can't do any more than she's doing with this speech.

Pitch perfect. Nothing forced so far. Contrasts with McCain.

"This isn't for me..."

or were you in it for that young marine, that mother with cancer raising her childre...?"

You GO girl!

Were you in it just for me?  Or were you in it for that young marine?

omg - she will be the liberal lioness in the Senate for decades to come.

GREAT SPEECH!!!!!

the crowd goes wild...

Jill Biden won't stand to get a kudo - knowing it's Hillary's night - classy lady

She just hit McCain in the face with a baseball bat. Fucking perfect.

George and John are hard to tell apart!

That Twin Cities remark hit the nail on the head - with a rocket launcher :).

Excellent, she's talking about Barack's background and why he is the correct choice outside of just being a democrat.

and all the other woes - all one thing!

"They're hard to tell apart!"

<warning on TV: do not allow fingers or loose clothing near the screen>

:~)

2 nights in a row.....

KNOCKED CLEAR OUT OF THE PARK by a strong Democratic Woman.

One a Future First Lady.
One a Former First Lady.

Both make me damned proud to be a Democrat.
Damned Proud.

The bar has been set high for BOTH of their husbands!!

Why does Bill keep laughing?

Wow, Michelle Obama looked amazing/so happy/etc as Hillary was going through her "keep going" segment.

Screaming my fool head off.

She is ON FIRE.

Damn, she's good on the attack. I can appreciate it more now that she's not attacking Obama.

best I've ever seen her in a long, long time (2nd half of the speech).

great flow and pacing.

This is the best speech she's ever given, on style at least. She's found a rhythm that I didn't see during the primaries (and, yes, I watched dozens of her speeches). Hell, she's giving my boy Barack a run for his money. I think I heard celestial choirs there for a second. See, Hillary, speeches aren't so bad.

Holy Shizznit!  She is naaaaaiiiiiiling it!  zing central up in here....twin cities- ha Ha Ha, YES!  Oh McCain you just got your ass handed to you!  fn incredible!

Man, that felt good. Thanks, Hillary!

This is the speach I expected her to give. Hitting all the right notes and knocking it out of the park.

I expect to keep hearing her hitting these notes all the way up to the election. Barack's issues are her issues, and hers are his, and combined they're ours.

We had two great candidates in the primary. The shame has always been that only one could win, in the end. But that doesn't diminish the other.

Great speech. Great job. Great woman.

If I had roses I'd throw them at my television screen.

Wow.

Just... wow.

She just managed to wring every inch of bitterness over the primary from me.  The Hillary Clinton I knew is back, and back with a vengeance.

MSNBC is showing Michelle talking with Joe Biden and his wife, and she looks positively giddy.

I wonder what they're doing now though, it looks like the 3 are praying?  Are they closing the convention for the night?

My infant daughter is entranced by Hillary... ;-)  She just keeps staring at the screen in fascination!  I told her that maybe that could be you someday!

She's doing a great job... Thank you for helping the cause, Hillary...  

Maybe we Obama supporters can chip in to pay down some of that debt... it should be organized, so that everyone knows who's doing it and why...  Hillary did her part today.... we should return the favor...

Thanks for doing your part, Hillary...  We really are all in this together...

I'll fight for you when the time comes... you just fought for us.... to win against republicans!

Thank you, again!  Now, I can see why your supporters go so crazy for you...

P.S. I guess Republicans are going to stop liking her anymore...

P.P.S.  I also like show she shamed the PUMAs

Now THAT'S how to give a speech!  She's amazing.

She couldn't have done it any better. She made it clear that this election is not about her, but about America. America needs Barack Obama as President.

I did not get to see her speech! I have to wait for reruns and talking heads!  AAHHHH!   :)

Progressive Blue

a minimal endorsement of Obama...WTF, do they leave in the same planet???

I challenge any asshat to parse THAT speech to mean that she isn't on board.

No one can deny it.  She blew the doors off.

that was so fucking good. everyone I was watching with was going nuts. I was all pumped up! everyones lucky we dont have any glass fixtures around here.

If you are a Hillary Clinton supporter, but vote for John McCain, you will offend Hillary Clinton. It's that simple.

out...of...the...freaking...park...grand ...SLAM!!!!!!!

hey I was just wondering if it is still possible to help Clinton retire her debt.  I'll admit she pissed the hell out of me during the primaries, but she was picture perfect tonite.  It took a lot of courage and selflessness to do what she did.  Let's put the primary non sense behind us...

anyway, can I still donate, and what webiste do I use (HillaryClinton.com doesn't seem to be responding)

Sen. Clinton is amazing.  Great speech, great tone, great substance, great all the way around.

Candidate Obama needs Sen. Clinton.

President Obama will need her even more.

Her influence in Congress and contributions to our nation will be much, much greater with Sen. Obama in the White House than McCain.

(Schweitzer rocks the house, too)

A few thoughts...

Great Speech... Maddow and Olbermann are GUSHING about it.  

THAT should be the bounce... We will see it Thursday morning in the Tracking polls (since tommorrow's poll will be about Monday... hope Michelle moved some people as well).

If former supporters don't move to Obama now, then chances are it isn't going to happen or will be a last second decision to switch.

I'll be curious to see how many viewers tonight.

If Bills speech tommorrow is in that same tone, if Biden's speech rocks and then Obama does his Obama Speech thing, I think we see a big bounce.  I still think Obama should plan a rally in Ohio or another swing state at the same time McCain speaks.  Blow his speech OUT OF THE WATER... Serve the SOB right for all the crap he is pulling this week.  We need to strike back hard.

Man! She killed it! Congratulations Hillary Clinton and congratulations Democrats. This Obama supporter has forgotten all about the primaries and looks forward to a fall campaign with both of these powerhouses taking the fight to the Republicans. Well done Senator Clinton!

...when she said "We know how to do this, we did it with President Clinton."  Bill was beaming, and hanging on her every word, just like everyone else in the hall. I'd love to  know what was going through his head as he listened.  

She's become an outstanding speaker.   She's an asset to our party, no question.
