Most democratic analysts say that Hillary Clinton "hit it out of the park" in her speech at the democratic convention where she focused on unifying the party behind Barak Obama.

Conservative analysts stated that she didn't focus on what they think is most important, to wit: is he ready to be president? (that she didn't explictly say "he is ready to be president" after " not being ready" was the focus of her campaign against him)

What do you think?
  • Will Hillary Clinton supporters unite behind Barak Obama?
  • Are there lingering issues that must be addressed?
  • Even if they are disenchanted, do you think any Clinton supporters will vote for McCain?

while i voted yes, my belief is that women in general will vote for obama, hillary backer or not.
the repugnentans were and are terrible for the vast majority of women.
women want and need help and support and hope for the future ( as do men), and the repugs led bt mccain is NOT the party of that.
the democrats, bad as they are, on their worst day far more benefit women than republicans on their best day.

They already are. A few will not, but very few. The Clintons are playing team now, setting the stage for another Hillary campaign in 4 or, I hope, 8 years. By Friday morning the Dems will be "Game On." I still don't trust the Clintons, but they are smart enough to carry the party water bucket knowing that to do otherwise would scuttle their barge.

If she "hit it out of the park," it was because it was a very short fence.

"Hit it out of the park" . . .

1. Aside from the 'change' theme, nothing in the last year of political antics appears to have "hit it out of the park" for American voters.

While Iraq WAS and perhaps is a priorty, the falling value of the dollar, the 'recession' and the general lack of growth in the standard of general, American's standard of living is now where Americans want answers.

Neither of the candidates are giving solid answers to the American public. The American public is in for some surprises no matter who becomes President because the bills from the last eight years are coming due and some hard decisions need to be made.

2. I don't see Hillary Clinton supporters uniting behind Barak Obama. I could see no VISIBLE OPPOSITION to Barack, but 'uniting behind him, no I don't see that right now. Perhaps some back room negotiating at Denver will result in something. Who knows

3. Lingering issues...... How about a DISTINCTIVE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM that makes one party DIFFERENT enough from the other to make any vote one of issues not of emotions?

4. To tell the truth, I don't think anyone but the Conservatives know who they will vote for right now. The conservatives are MORE AFRAID of a YOUNG, BLACK president than people in general are of Grandpa McCain, even with all the current Republican Hacks hanging on to his coat tails.

I think this election will be 'last minute' and I think it will be a single issue selection. Conservatives will play the fear card on Abortion (for some to fear), or Taxes (to pay for the bad decisions of the last eight years as fear for others). Democrats will play the 'Can America afford 'four mo' years of Bush failures' or might play the 'How many more rights are Americans willing to give up under Republican King Bush/McCain'.

To be honest, it might even be as simple as 'do I hate Michelle Obama more than I hate Cindy McCain's aloof wealth and position'?

Heck if Average Joe Citizen thinks the gasoline prices are too high or if his breakfast was burned, that might decide whom he votes against this election.

Of course HRC backers will vote for Obama. There was little doubt about that BEFORE HRC's great speech. No one other than those who root so hard for the GOP that their judgment is suspect could honestly conclude that HRC voters would vote for McSame. The Iraq occuption, the economy, taxes, energy, choice, whatever -- the wrinkly old white-haired dude with the anger management problem with 7 houses he can't keep track of and who thinks it takes $5m per year of income to be rich is WAY out of step with anyone who voted for HRC other than a few WV and KY racists and Limbaugh's Operation Chaos HRC voters.

I think they will. If they were Democrates in the first place he is Barack is the party nominee. How does it help the cry for change to vote for McCain or another candidate who will take votes away from the Democrates?

A few Hillary supporters will unite behind Obama, but not the majority of them. HRC supporters are angry and angry enough not to vote for Obama---who they feel did not show her enough respect.

That doesn’t mean that they’ll vote Republican. Like many Republicans that will not be voting for McCain, I believe many HRC supporters would rather stay home on election day than to vote for Obama.

What people are missing is the fact that Hillary's supporters do much more than simply vote. Those Hillary delegates at the convention are the grass roots workers and organizers that enabled Hillary to get more votes than NOBama. While they might vote for NOBama, they will not get their hands dirty ringing door bells, raising money, getting local events organized, getting the yard signs out, handing out brochures at the local mall or Walmart. They will not write the letters to the editor, nor will they do the interviews on the local call-in shows. In short, NOBama is losing the multiplier effect that Hillary's delegates bring to the election. One of these Hillary delegates can be responsible for as many as 500 votes in the general election.

Carly Fiorina was discussing Hillary talk, and she made a very interesting observation: most women that support Hillary are not single issue people - while the MSM is obsessed with "a woman's right to choose", most of the women voters that Hillary attracts are more focused on women's issues in the workplace, particularly entreprenurship. Most new business start-ups are led by women, and it is these women that are more interested in economic issues and tax issues that prevent entreprenurship. Which is one reason why so many women are shying away from the $52 trillion in new spending that NOBama is proposing, along with the trillon dollar tax increase that hits small businesses the hardest.
