She's really dragging it out. Half the speech was kissing her own ass.

She needed to trash McCain more and elevate Obama more.

She was pretty vague when talking about Obama, honestly. I'm not overwhelmed.
 
I thought the point of this speech was to pump up her supporters for Obama. Bar a few mentions of Obama this could have been her own nomination speech.

The equal pay quote was pretty much all she needed to say to turn the people bitter about Hillary's loss, I think. I think that was the pinch in the arm people needed.

Ya, probably the best point to bring up outside of abortion.

Yup. Why did she need a frikken tribute video? Any Democrat who'd vote McCain or not vote at all over Hilary is an idiot. That said, she ended it pretty well...

I'd give it an A-. She had a few moments where she clearly dragged out the celebratory nostalgia, but overall it did what it had to do. Anyone left is clearly secret Republicans or closet idiots.

She talked for over half an hour, didn't screw up once, and had the crowd in the palm of her hand... you have to admit she's a great politician. Obama needs her.

She should have spent more time on obama, less time giving her own presidential stump speech - especially women's rights.

I thought overall it was self serving, putting her position before Obama's and tagging on the necessary "Support Obama" "No McCain" to survive politically.

I know it is common around here to think the GOP is anti-everything, but where is the "he supports unequal pay for woman" come from?

As far as convention speeches, this is tops so far. Michele's last night wasn't even in the same league. I'm thinking it won't be topped until Obama on Thursday.

So lets guess FOX news narrative...

"Michelle Obama looked irritated, does she hate Hillary?"

"You can just see it on her face, ladies and gentlemen, Hillary Clinton is taking the good will and message of unity Ted Kennedy brought us last night and tearing it down. She does not want Barack Obama in the White House. This image speaks for itself."

Agreed.

She looked good tonight, and she gave a great speech. She even "gutted McCain" like Buchanan wanted so badly!

This was just the thing the party needed. Now let's get the show on the road and get dat man in the White House.

McCain was anti-Ledbetter case, and also anti legislation that would require men and women to earn the same wages for doing the same jobs.
 
She didn't do what she needed to do until the brilliant Mccain quote. It was only at that point that she had hit all the notes she had to. I loled.
