I was thinking about Bill's speech a little more. What struck me as surprising was that he said the words Hillary wouldn't say: Barack Obama is ready to be president. He only said one thing about Hillary - that "his" candidate didn't win - and then he went on to say that Barack Obama is the right man for the job. Interesting. He also said that people the world over were more impressed by the power of our example than the example of our power. David Brooks (PBS commentator) said that was a pretty slogan but he didn't think Putin or Ahmadinejad were impressed by the power of our example.
And then I was thinking about the claim that McCain has it over Obama due to experience. I wonder why the Democrats haven't taken up the Freewheelin' Franklinesque mantra that good judgment can substitute for experience, but experience cannot substitute for good judgment.
(You don't know Freewheelin' Franklin? Then be sure to check the "mantra" link.)
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
Perhaps Bill was extending a gentle dig towards Hillary? She mentioned that she was a proud mother, a proud democrat, a proud senator, a proud American, and a proud supporter of Barack, and what? An embarrased spouse to Bill?
