Any doubt who Hillary Clinton thinks should be the next president?

She was remarkable.
All the rusted signs, we ignore throughout our lives, choosing the shiny ones instead...

And he who forgets, will be destined to remember...

    I thought her speech was pretty awesome. She did a great job.

    I don't think you could have expected that speech from someone who lost the race by that close of a margin. It was monumental. She reminded her voters that they were not just voting for her but a fundamental. It is sad that Obama did not have the confidence in himself to choose her for the veep. She will replace Ted Kennedy as the face of the democratic party.

    i'm just wondering when the fuck she's going to get back to ny and work. i mean, she was in the state friday......sucking down sausages at the state fair. i have no idea what else she did while in the state. but that's all that made the news. "Hillary at the fair, enjoying a sausage sandwich" BFD.

    A perfectly crafted speech delivered to perfection - definitely one for the ages. Got goosebumps watching her. Obama is going to have to reach deep to top that! Well done!!!!

    Oh Kurt. Sausage sandwiches are delicious. You can't fault her for that. ;)

    Greg and I were talking tonight about how, if someone is running for president, they should really resign from their office. It seems inappropriate to have them campaigning and effectively ignoring the duties of their office...

    I think she nailed it. And she really has my total respect for that speech. What a classy lady.

    I think we can't live in the past and "what if". I can't tell if you're "concern trolling" here, but I really don't think that Obama chosing Biden has anything to do with his confidence level in her. With her on the ticket, the Republicans would have been foaming at the mouths at the chance to rip into an Obama/Clinton ticket. It would have solidified the Republican base and motivated them way more than they are now. I also heard that she refused to provide necessary information for the vetting process.

    I think that with her remaining in the Senate the party will be much better and quite possibly actually get some shit done for a change.

    It's all a dog-and-pony show anyway. :D

    Great speech. Exactly what she needed to do to hopefully get her supporters more fully behind Obama.

    Finally something good,(the rest of this convention has sucked ass) the speech was great. If she had that kind of the energy during the campaign, she would be in the drivers seat right now...

    she could've been a great choice as obama's running mate.

    is there an instance in history wherein the losing party candidate was chosen by the party's standard bearer as their running mate?

    I thought it was a great speech. Tonight and tomorrow evening should be very entertaining. I can't wait for Obama to take the stage to shut up all the naysayers.

    If I understand your question correctly, JFK selected LBJ.
