>I think she proved you wrong last night :o) In fact, I have to agree with the media who stated (on 2 of the 4 news shows I watched) hat no losing candidate has ever done as much as she has to support the party nominee.

That was the early reaction. Hearing some grumbling today that it was not as supportive as it may have at first seemed.

It was funny reading Charles's message yesterday, speculating about what the Clintons might be up to this week. It reminded me of my thoughts exactly. If I am wrong in this conspiracy theory, at least I'm in good company <g>.

Full disclosure: I did not watch Hillary's speech. Political speeches are painful for me to endure in general and Hillary's are particularly difficult. She does have her good traits but let's face it, public speaking is not one of them. You can tell it is not her natural personality. No wonder most of those who know her say she is warmer in person than her public persona. Practically hollering her emphasis lines, chopping the air with her hand -- ugh. I guess I should credit her for trying. They say public speaking is many people's biggest fear and she has to do it practically every day.

The natural, her husband, is on deck tonight. I may watch that, even though I am irritated at him. Say what you will about Bill Clinton, he is a gifted politician and in his element in a crowd. My admiration for him has ebbed and flowed but I have never failed to enjoy his speeches.
