Got to hand it to Hillary: Last night’s speech at the DNC convention might have been the best of her entire career. Her tone, delivery and content were spot-on. If she had made a few like that about a year ago, the convention would be all about her instead of Obama.
As has been discussed last night and this morning, what's notable is what was omitted. She stressed unity, but never mentioned Obama’s capability, never endorsed his leadership, and never did she express her unqualified support for his candidacy. She went out there and delivered exactly what she was asked to do; no more, no less.
So much entertainment! There was Bill, high above in the bleachers, obviously “on” the whole time, playing to the cameras he knew would be trained on him. He didn’t disappoint. The man’s vanity is as endless as his ego. The high point was the mouthed “I love you”s, solely for the benefit of the TV audience. And this, coming from an individual whose presidency was defined by his extramarital peccadilloes. Amazing.
And decyphering Michelle’s facial expressions throughout the speech became a form of entertainment in itself. Imagine what was running though her head. Was it: “If you try to steal this convention I’ll kill you”, or instead, “I’ve won, you lost. Now, go away”?
Can’t wait for tonight’s thrilling installment of “The Clintons”!
