DNC Obama Nomination by Acclamation

Well its official the Democratic National Party has committed political suicide. The DNC anointed Obama with a Nomination by Acclamation vote. Earlier tonight Hillary Clinton formally released her delegates to Obama and a vote of the delegates anointed Obama the Democratic Nominee. Of course I don’t see a lot of difference in what happened with the Nomination by Acclamation vote than what has happened all through out the primaries. It seems to me the Obama was nominated by acclamation months ago when the leadership of the Democratic party decided to back Obama at all costs.

If you look at th epolls it does not seem that Obama is able to move at all against John Mccain in position. He did not receive any bounce when he announced Biden as his running mate last week and there has not really been any movement now that the Democratic convention is underway and dominating the news cycle. Historically either of these events will produce a considerable bounce in the polls once these types of activities happen. But with Obama this has not happened. Of course I thought this all along, Obama has no substance and you need substance to convince the American People you are qualified to be president. Obama just has not produced any proof that he is ready to lead. Of course this is the exact angle the Mccain camp is taking with the commercials they have been airing which use the words of Obama’s former adversaries Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton against Obama. Both Biden and Clinton said some pretty bad things against Obama during the campaign mostly surrounding his inability to lead the country.

Then you have Hillary’s speech last night, which in my humble opinion was one of the best speeches she ever delivered, where she gave the neccesary allcades to anoint Obama the democratic nominee and set up the nomination by acclamation vote taken today. While Hillary did endorse Obama she also spent a lot of time talking about her accomplishments. And of course there was also the nice little dig she gave to Michelle Obama when Hillary stated she was Proud to be an American.

Well in a few minutes Bill Clinton will be speaking and with his ability to captivate a crowd, it may turn out to be interesting. Bill is a former president so Obama can’t really tell him what to say or what not to say. I’ve seen enough comments by President Clinton to know he does not care a lot for Barak Obama. I would not be surprised to see Bill slam Obama in a way that could be a slam, but could also mean something totally different.

This nomination by acclamation is the closet Obama will ever be to the presidency.

Hillary on Ticket Nomination

Fox News is reporting that Barak Obama has finally agreed to an actual vote at the Democratic National Convention. Obama has not wanted  a vote up until now, but the Clinton’s have  pretty much demanded it and with the number of delegates she has he really does not have a choice.

I’ve never understood how someone who is supposed to want the best for this country opposes such fundamental rights as voting for something and actually listening to the voice of the people. Obama has always ran campaigns which seeks to disenfranchise voters. From his first campaign in Illinois to the current campaign. I’m sure he will try and get Mccain thrown off the ticket before November like he did his competitors in Illinois.

With  their actually being a vote at the convention, instead of just an anointment of Obama as the Democratic Nominee actually brings up a question. Why are they actually  going to vote at the convention. The DNC anointed Obama months ago and Howard Dean and crew have clearly been in the Obama camp for a long time. Why would they decide to vote now. Many people say its to help party unity. It seems like all those Hillary supporters who started PUMA and countless other websites who vowed they would never vote for Obama just have not came around. Even though a lot of people both on the right and left do not like Mccain at all, it does not seem that Obama can close the gap. Most pools show Obama with  a slight lead some weeks and a couple have showed Obama behind Mccain.

Perhaps Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and the other idiots that have been promoting Obama all along are finally starting to realize that he can’t win. There was a point when Obama may could have won the election, but all his flip flopping on issues has eroded away that possibility. Not to mention all his associates who have questionable morals at the least.

Its been rumored that neither Hillary nor Bill Clinton expect Obama to come close to winning the actual election. This has been reported as internal memos circulated within the Clinton campaign. Hillary spoke out the other day stating at the least there should be a vote which many Obama people criticized as showing she does not really support Obama for the nomination or President. Of course she does not. Would you just forgive someone who treated you like Obama treated Hillary. No you would still be pissed.

It will be really interesting to see what happens at the DNC. I expect fireworks and it won’t be from the Obama acceptance speech night rock show.

Hillary Clinton Concession Speech

As expected Hillary Clinton gave a concession speech today and suspended her campaign. Hillary spoke for about 30 minutes where she endorsed Barak Obama, but since she only suspended her campaign she maintains control of her delegates until the Democratic National Convention. She thanked her supporters and asked them to support Barak Obama for President of the United States.

As she made these comments about Barak Obama the crowd became increasingly quiet and you could even hear boos coming from the crowd. A lot of people in the democratic party expected all democrats to just fall in line behind Barak Obama once he was the presumptive nominee, but the reaction of supporters during Hillary Clinton’s concession speech may suggest that is not going to be as easy as they expected.
