When faced with impossible odds, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes we can.

This campaign is about building a different kind of politics. We don't take money from Washington lobbyists or special-interest political action committees. Instead, our broad base of individual donors ensures that this campaign answers to no one but the people.

Please make a contribution to the campaign here:

And it would be nice if Sen. Clinton told her surrogates like Carville, Bagala, and others to stop denigrating the campaign and the convention.

She can stop them from going on those shows and badmouthing Obama and the campaign. I hope she does that. To me, that's just as important as the speech.

You can't say one thing in a speech and allow your surrogates to go out and say the exact opposite to tv and radio pundits. That's my measure of the sincerity of the speech. I want to see if she will reel in the junkyard dogs.

Tyrone, I agree with you. I think that Carville is really a bitter person. I could not believe how he was literally dogging the first night of the convention. I could not watch MSNBC or CNN this morning. I have been watching C-Span.

In reality I really think they are just JEALOUS. If Hillary had won they would be in charge and they are NOT. She has to do more with her surrogates who will be on the morning shows.

Pat Buchanan, well he just equals hate. There is no difference between him and hate. He really makes me sick and to see that MSNBC is paying him all that money to knock down the dems.

Some of this reporting is NEITHER FAIR NOR BALANCED. IT IS JUST MESSED UP.

With James Carville, when you see him in the media I really don't think his motives are to help candiate A or candidate B or one part or the other...

This guy just really likes attention...likes to see himself on tv....That is why he is always doing cameos in movies, doing commercials for M&M's and all these companies....He likes attention..he has to stir up trouble to get it..

As far as his wife Mary Matalin helping publish that book, I don't really care...What was Hillary supposed to do..Tell Carville that if you want to work on my campaign you have to make your wife stop working as an aide to the GOP?...

It isn't too smart of the guy if he wants a future in the party... If McCain wants him as a surrogate I could care less...he won't help him...

Wow! Hillary - I hope this stops the "evil Clintons" talk.

She may have been drawn astray by political advisors (you can keep up the "evil Mark Penn" talk) but fundamentally she has not been driven by herself but by goals like universal health care, etc. I felt more sadness than anger by the ways her campaign went astray in the end of the primary, but thought it sad that a candidate with good motives was too focused on winning and forgetting what she was working for.

But her speech - WOW! She really came back to her true self here, I think.

Hillary is awesome now but in the primary she proved to be morally corrupt, manipulative, deceiptful and a loyalty only to the Clinton's not the Democratic Party or the country...If she had an even money way to get the nomination reversed at the convention (despite making the chances of a DEM victory much smaller) and she knew that would be her last chance to get the nomination and go for the Presidency she would do it in a heartbeat...that is the reality of it.....She has a track record of 35 years of being morally corrupt....maybe it is not fair that Bill got a free pass on this (which was more do to his charisma then being a male) but she hasn't/won't...

I am hoping for an All-Star cast in 2016 that includes..

RAHM EMANUEL
BRIAN SCHWEITZER
KATHLEEN SEBELIUS
JOE BIDEN (a possibility of course)
DEVAL PATRICK (a possibility)
TIM KAINE (sill have by then completed time in congress as you can only serve one term in VA)
MARK WARNER
HILLARY CLINTON (don't support her but she might run).
RUSS FEINGOLD
CLAIRE MCKASKILL
LATINO CANDIDATE NEEDED
ASIAN CANDIDATE NEEDED
GAY CANDIDATE (serious)
SEVERAL NEW PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T STARTED YET.

I say Obama doesn't start out endorsing any of them, but sort of blanketely throws his support around the group of candidates that follows the pledge to campaign with the integrity and focus on building each other up and not tearing each other down style he adopted in the primary and to take the high road...

Push to have all these top candidates, even if they feel they are not likely to be in the top 2-3, or think they have a little better chance waitng four years, forget it...put the best the DEM paty has to offer all in the primary....and in the best wishes of the party have the candidates agree that the strongest person for VP spot will do it if chosen to strengthen the ticket.

In 2016 the goal would be when a winner is chosen, we have 95% of the dem party behind them solid and can focus on IND/REP votes eating into the GOP base...

Also over the next 8 years would be awesome if we could continue the registration drives and re-write the electoral map.

But there are good speeches, there are GREAT speeches & then there are SPEECHES that go down in history.

I'm simply saying that it wasn't the speech to end all speeches.

They are trying to find a way to get young people interested...if they get 20 something celebrities interviewing them these clips will get lots of views on sites like YouTube and on these cable news channels...

Remember that there are some very talented and intelligent actors that supported the campaign like George Clooney, that guy from West Wing, John Legend (who has given lectures at colleges for the campaign)....These could be serious.....

Hillary delivered tonight, and the Repubs must be crying in their beers right about now. No fights at the Convention. No protests, and only about 200 PUMAs were protesting outside.

Hillary had her cathartic moment, and hit McCain hard.

Bill. What a joke.

DENVER (CNN) – Hillary Clinton will be on hand for Barack Obama's acceptance speech, but according to a source close to former President Bill Clinton, he will not: the source tells CNN that Clinton will not join his wife at Invesco Field Thursday night.

Hillary Clinton was fantastic and filled the convention with sincere hope and a forceful and sincere request that her supporters vote for Barack.

However, CNN Sucks!! They bitch and moan about getting the delegates fired up. So, after Hillary does JUST THAT, they interview a Hillary supporter who was so emotional and so unsure of whether or not she will even vote, she could hardly hold back the tears!! CNN, you SUCK big time!! Anderson tried to recover by asking that they locate that delegate after Biden and Barack speaks this week to see if she's decided to vote for Barack. Go Anderson!! Oh, and did I say, CNN, YOU SUCK!!!

Congratulations, Hillary, and thank you for giving what must have been the most difficult speech of your life! You done good, girlfriend!!

Re: Barack should have chosen Hillary Clinton VP | Report to Admin

By Dave Aug 27th 2008 at 12:47 am EDT (Updated Aug 27th 2008 at 12:47 am EDT)

The Hillary Clinton you saw tonite and the treatment of Hillary by the media and the GOP the last month will not be consistent with what she will receive as Barack Obama's VP.

As she is no longer a candidate the media is not giving her any real scrutiny...the last thing McCain wants to do now is attack her as any hope for him winning rests on him winning over her disaffected supporters not mobilizing them behind Barack Obama by attacking her...She is also not facing the scrutiny of any candidate Obama or McCain as she isn't in the race....

The GOP would have the ability to destroy her...Obama really gave her a free pass, once they destroy her and the ticket she and Obama have to make this very negative..then we see the angry Hillary on attack...

Look how fractured her campaign was for day one...merging that with the Obama campaign would be a disaster, there would be so much headaches...

Look it is the job of both Obama (as Dem Nominee) and Hillary (as former candiate) to help bring together the Democratic Party, bring Hillary's supporters behind Obama....as long as we can unite the Democratic Party, get 90+% of the DEM support going (or projected to go) to Obama then we really don't need Hillary...... The IND/REP voters would be turned off by her....

Essentially you would be trading away an IND or REP vote for each DEM vote you gain, you would gain no REP votes as she got few unless you count the Limbaugh Operation chaos people...

The goal of the convention is to bring together the dem party, if we can do that, with Hillary's help than we can both gain support from new dem supporters and be able to target Independents and Republicans you can't with Hillary...

Joe Biden is awesome...Hillary is not consistent with Obama's message of change and after the GOP is done with her it would fracture the message of the ticket..I think even some Hillary supporters will leave when they really hear what the GOP will be saying...

All I care is at the end of the convention and in the weeks after we unite the Democratic Party...these are supportes that will stay with Obama as they have loyalty to the party as they are members...Then go after the IND/REP voters...

We will still have Hillary campaigning during the GE.

I don't want to seem out of line but there will be even more scnadals with her...a week after the GE she is on trial in LA...Whether she wins or looses information (video footage) implicating her will be all over youtube and the trial will be public..

I don't want Obama to lose credibility on representing change to cover for Hillary then go down with her, or not cover for her and be taken down by her supporters...

Re: Barack should have chosen Hillary Clinton VP | Report to Admin

By Nashfan for Obama in Phoenix, who has had "ENOUGH!" Aug 27th 2008 at 2:05 am EDT (Updated Aug 27th 2008 at 2:05 am EDT)

You don't know if selecting Biden is a misstep. Biden brings in the working class voters, Jewish, Catholics, and he has a great understanding of the mechanics of how Washington works.

There are pros and cons of selecting Hillary for VP.

The pros are what we saw during her speeches, the name familiarity. Occasionally I have wished that she had been the VP candidate, but all things considered she may not have been the best choice.

The cons are-

1)personality conflicts are never good for a joint ticket. Don't blame Obama's ego. The Clintons have too much ego- you cannot ignore that. The way Bill was whining and not giving Obama any credit after Obama won the nomination did not help things. The things she did/said during the campaign cannot be easily forgotten. Put yourself in Obama's shoes.

In addition to all that, Hillary did not want to send Obama her vetting info unless he guaranteed her the VP spot. That kind of promise would have been very unfair to the other candidates being considered (those who had sent the papers).

2)the Clintons have a lot of baggage that could be exploited by the repugs. It hurt Al Gore to be associated with Bill Clinton in 2000. It would have hurt Obama too.

3)There are people that absolutely do not want the Clintons anywhere near the WH. So Obama could have lost many votes from that group, while he would have lost some from the likes of PUMA. It would not have balanced each other out, so there was no advantage from the numbers perspective.

Ultimately Obama has the best understanding of who would be the right running mate for him. Biden has the foreign policy experience (Hillary cannot hold a candle to him in that department). Hillary has the charm and the name recognition, but that alone would not have pulled off the election for Obama.

Tonight's speech was written by Lissa Muscatine, Jim Kennedy and chief speechwriter Jon Lovett, working closely with long-time Clinton advisors Maggie Williams and Cheryl Mills.

She is a leader in Democratic politics, and wouldn't trash all that for one singular bitter moment. I think she now realizes how harmful she was to the democratic campaign for change, and will do all she can to see John McCain defeated.

She has good examples such as Ted Kennedy, in how to move forward.

J, I kind of feel the way you do BUT I am trying to be optimistic & give her the benefit of the doubt.

For so long we've been at battle with her & for some of us it is VERY hard to just switch gears.

But if she is willing, then so am I. But I have my doubts...I almost wrote donuts... LOL...I have those TOO!...but I am working on it...and the donuts!

I don't care if she didn't mean it. She SOLD it! And that is all that counts.

Good job Hillary! Mr. President, it's your turn now. Let's win this damn thing!

I also liked this from him...

Even leaders in the oil industry know that Senator McCain has it wrong. We simply can’t drill our way to energy independence, even if you drilled in all of John McCain’s backyards, including the ones he can’t even remember. LOL

Hi Lace. You finished seeing the speech online. I think it's great we have enough technologies and media that we can all see it somehow, some way. I'm just glad she drove home "No way, no how, no McCain" and brought it home to make Obama POTUS. That's some fantastic WoW.
