Another day, more talk about Hillary. But it's justified I suppose, since this is "her night". At least on MSNBC they are acknowledging somewhat that the supposed divisions within the Party are largely hyped up creations of the 24-hour news networks. Those divisions are only real with a tiny fringe group of fanatical Hillary supporters. With them is where things get ridiculous, which is no doubt why the media loves to put them on the air, because they are crazy. Apparently some of these supporters actually think that the primary process was setup to screw Hillary and nominate Obama, and that the DNC was stacked against Hillary. This is what they mean by post-rational. These are the kinds of idiots who want to destroy the Democratic Party to help McCain. They actually think (or argue at least) that the establishment was anti-Hillary and pro-Obama, even though Hillary was CLEARLY the "inevitable" establishment choice from the very beginning. All you had to do was look at superdelegates, and how Hillary started the thing with well over a hundred superdelegates edge over Obama, an edge that he didn't overcome until the very very end of the primary season. Yeah, and that is apparently anti-Hillary. Hillary had EVERY advantage going into the primary, most people thought Obama had no chance, and it was an epic uphill battle for Obama. Hillary even had a former president campaigning for her full time. How anyone could say with a straight face that the process was loaded against Hillary is beyond me. How pathetic. Grow up, seriously, you fringe fanatics are embarrassments. At the very least get your facts straight.
Here was Rep. Dennis Kucinich earlier today, fired up and ready to go! (sadly it probably didn't make it to the cable "news" channels):
Can I get an "Amen"?
Hillary's speech was good, I'll give her that. I think she hit all the right notes and, unlike her concession speech, her support of Obama this time around and her urging to her supporters to embrace Obama and lend him their full support are actually believable. I'll post video when it is available. Here's the video:
Agreed. The need of the 24/7 cable "news" organizations to feed their audiences is destroying politics in this country. I don't think it is any coincidence that since cable news has taken off all of our elections have been razor close. The media purposely tries to make sure it is close, which is why they have been carrying McCain's campaign for him this whole time, and why the polls have tightened so much. It isn't a story if it was a landslide, and I firmly believe that if it weren't for the media distorting reality, this thing would be a landslide. People (the media) keep asking why isn't Obama taking off? It's because the media is holding him down and pushing McCain up. Kiss the days of landslide victories goodbye. The course of our country is controlled by the MSM now, and the handful of corporations that control it. It is an infinitely important phenomenon, and never discussed. Why? I'll give you one guess...
After stretching for nearly two long years, the election is finally over. We won. We won big. All the donations, all the volunteering, all the mythbusting and truth spreading paid off. Obama is our next president! This was just the first step. Now the hard work for change begins. This blog hasn't been about the election, it has been about progress, and so I'm not going anywhere. Let's make sure we get the change we need!

AMEN!
Hillary's speech tonight was far better than most expected.... but I knew she'd step up and hit a home run.
I think the media just wants controversy.
No how. No way. No McCain! Thank you Hillary Clinton!
