Extras off stage.....bring on the stars! 32,000 Obama
supporters crowded the St. Paul Auditorium tonight 17,000
inside and upwards of 16,000 outside watching the
festivities on Jumbotrons! An American Black Man for the
first time in history will represent a major party in this
country for President of the United States! Barack Obama
beat the 2118 delegate total needed to get the nomination.
The initial number was 2123...but it quickly went up from
there to 2156. The Obama acceptance speech was first
cabin quality and set a strong tone that John McCain will
have to reach deep into his gut...to try and approach in
intensity and clarity. When you think of great moments
in American History...this will certainly rate high on
the list of firsts.
We congratulate Senator Obama for this very historic
achievement. What happens now can either supplant his
bid or ruin it. The Senator has his future in his own
hands. Who he chooses as his Vice President will be
extremely important to his campaign. More than most
candidates....Obama's choice will be pivotal. If he
chooses Hillary...he will lose all his Conservative
Republican base and most of his Independent voters.
We will be hoping that Obama is as sharp as we think
he is and will choose a Conservative Democrat male.
Hard to find.....but we are hopeful.
Obama is truly a charismatic figure....that draws
people to him and relates a strong sense of youth and
honesty. Obama brings a sense of "now" to his campaign.
Not "back then" or "many years from now"....there is
a great sense that something will in fact change if he
is elected. As scary as "change" is: there is something
reassuring in his demeanor. We will see!
Hillary who gave an earlier self congratulatory "Victory"
Speech....highlighted her many achievements and years of
efforts to save all of man and womankind! Sadly, she
refused to Congratulate Senator Obama on his clinching
of the nomination. Additionally, she is asking her
supporters to help either retire her campaign debt and
help her fight on....in spite of obvious loss. What was
she be thinking? We guess that not knowing when to get
off stage has truly become another Clinton trademark!
She let out word through surrogates that she might want
to be Vice President. She now wants people to answer a
survey on her website to decide what she should do NOW!
Our answer is: Finish your term as Senator Hillary!
It was too bad that Hillary didn't quite understand how
historic a night this was.... and more importantly that
she was truly just the 2nd Banana once again!
