Woo, hoo! I am pretty stoked about this news. They are going to let Hillary Clinton’s name be included in the floor vote at the Democratic Convention. The convention takes place next week in Denver. It is pretty exciting. However, I doubt anything will come of it. But I can hope, right?
I was really stoked about politics this time last year. I had the tv on CNN all the time. Now, I rarely have it on at all. Why is that? Well, they have really lost my interest. I just can’t get behind Obama. And that is a big part of it. I will watch though when Hillary speaks at the convention. Even if it is not the speech I want it to be.
I am still a big Hillary Clinton fan. And it still makes me sick that Obama is the Dem nominee. But it really makes me sick to see Hillary schlepping for Obama. That is just plain wrong. And apparently now she is going to be making solo stops on his behalf. I really can’t stomach that.
I went to the movies last weekend. I went to see The Dark Knight. I also looked to see what else was out. Wow. What a lack of strong female characters. And you know what the sad part is? No one really seems to care. There is no uproar. There aren’t even any rumblings.
When Hillary Clinton did not get the nomination, I was crushed. But I was still holding out hope. I was hoping that Obama would want to secure the Clinton backers votes by picking Hillary as his running mate. I think a lot of people were hoping for that. But clearly that is not going to happen. Seems he has already offered her a speaking time during the convention in Denver on the 4th night, which is not the night that the running mate speaks. I wonder who he will pick now. I can’t say I care that much anymore.
