Is it just me, or is the name "Clinton" getting too much airtime during this convention?
A quick disclaimer:
Never before have I appreciated the service and dedication of Hilary Clinton more. She is a true patriot, and, despite what many Obama-Zealots believe, genuinely fights for what is in the best interest of all Americans. There is no denying that we will need her leadership and ability on the Senate floor throughout the Obama administration's time in office.
However, after hearing that more and more delegates at the convention refuse to vote for anyone other than Hilary during the roll-call vote, I'm beginning to doubt the efficacy of having Hilary Clinton's named plastered all over this convention.
She absolutely deserves to speak at the prime time spot tonight. However, the focus of the convention leading up to her speech is not "Renewing America's Promise" as the DNC promised us. Instead, it is, "Will Hilary swallow her pride, or will this speech be a prelude to her 2012 campaign."
And don't even get me started on Bill. To be honest, the same can be said of his service to our country, and he was an inarguably incredible President. However, it has become very clear throughout this campaign that Bill's emotions can get the better of him. He is yet to say that Barack Obama would make a good president. One would assume that in order to get a time slot at the podium during this convention, you'd need to have the ability to support the nominee!
Don't get me wrong, I love the Clinton family. They're brilliantly pragmatic, and it's absolutely impressive. However, I think it's time they stepped out of the spotlight. At the rate we're going at now, there will be Democratic primary debates for th 2012 Election next summer, anyways.
