Democrat Convention Day Two: Reciprocity ?


This evening Hilary Clinton gave the key speech at the Democrat convention in Denver. Hilary gave a real tour de force which even the most ardent anti-Democrat would have to concede. She achieved four key issues in her speech;

1. Putting personal support behind Senator Obama.
2. Pitching to women voters.
3. Thanking her supports and sponsors.
4. Reminding Democrats of the Clinton legacy and what they will be missing.

The telling issue was the lack of Barack Obama today. For a candidate able to dial in by satellite to say hello to his family it seemed odd that he would not give a personal tribute to Hilary Clinton. Secondly, the fact that critics are pitching Obama as being an elitist, his lack of appearance is no salve to the criticisms.
