Clinton-Obama Drama Continues with Bill's Speech Tonight
After his wife's stirring speech supporting Barack Obama last night, former president Bill Clinton will be the featured speaker tonight at the Democratic National Convention (after the roll-call and nomination process). Clinton is expected to discuss foreign policy, and his aides told the Times "he intends to deliver an impassioned plea for Democratic unity." However, much has been made of the fact that the former president has made remarks suggesting skepticism for Obama's chances. Clinton will not be at Invesco Field on Thursday when Obama finally gives his acceptance speech--reportedly because he "doesn't want to detract from Obama." Politico looks at the Clinton-Obama drama, noting things each side could have, should have done to unite the party and Doonesbury has a funny comic about it.

If Obama/Biden loses, the Clintons don't want to get any of their fingerprints on that train wreck.

I have listened to over 10 live speeches by Bill and he's just an amazing speaker...

It is time for Bill to get over it. He's part of the reason she lost in the primaries.

My guess is Bill's speach will go something like:
"It's a DANGEROUS world out there --- we need a commander-in-chief who is ready on day one!"

Marxist Obama's only notable achievement in politics so far has been to make the Clintons look like John and Abigail Adams.
