You (the media) asked her to walk a tightrope, and she did with one hand tied behind her back. I've been an Obama backer from the get-go, and never was impressed by Hillary before last night, but I thought she was excellent and extremely gracious, not to mention uplifting in her speech. Enough of all the grousing. If Bill gives half as good a performance in his speech, and he should if he knows what's good for this country, then the Democrats' job is to seal this election and quit in-fighting.

The media is certainly working overtime trying to increase the gap between Hillary and Obama voters. In fact, the media is obsessed with trying to convey discontent within the Democratic Party! The pollsters are just as obsessed as the media!

So, why hasn’t the media been interesting in the division between Republicans, Libertarians and the Third Party? The Libertarians have a membership of 55,000,000 – give or take. Ron Paul has a very good change of robbing McCain of votes in the south and western states. The court has ruled that Ohio must put the Libertarian Party pick (Barr) on the ballot. That along must be causing panic for McCain’s people!

So media and pollsters, why is it so important to continue your obsession with Hillary and Obama? Why are you so determination to portray the Democratic Party as a train headed for collision in November? Why not focus on McCain and the battle he will be facing as voters vote for Barr or Ron Paul! So, which Party is having a problem with unity?

Sounds like the Republicans are headed for a collision with the Third Party and the Libertarians!

PS The Democratic Party will unify because of the determination of Hillary and her supporters! True, some were behind Hillary because of their own agenda, but most are behind her because of her love of this country and it’s people. This is also true of those supporting Obama. One purpose leads to unity and votes!

As a Republican, then Independent, I have become a 100 percent Democrat because of decent men and women who make up the Democratic Party! Something is terribly wrong with the Republican Party!

Hillary Clinton's speech supported Obama and united the Democratic Party behind its policies of universal health care, pre-kindergarten, and equal pay for women.

We wouldn't need those programs if we stop destroying our food, air, land, and water by creating a garden paradise retirement lifestyle. Employment is not the solution; it causes world problems including diseases. More jobs even with higher pay continue destroying us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

I'm thrilled that Senator Clinton honored the suffragettes, including Harriet Tubman, who was as ardently involved in the suffrage struggle as she was in the Underground Railroad.

Thanks to the success of Harriet Tubman and other amazing suffragettes, women now have voices and choices!

We can ELECT a great candidate like Obama!

But most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won, and what life was REALLY like for women before they did.

"The Privilege of Voting" is a new free e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 - 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to win the vote.

This is no boring history report. It's a real-life soap opera!

Two beautiful and extremely powerful suffragettes -- Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan, Alice Roosevelt and two gorgeous presidential mistresses.

There are tons of heartache for these heroines on the rocky road to the ballot box, but in the end, they WIN!

Exciting, sequential 10-minute e-mail episodes are perfect for coffeebreaks, or anytime.

Hillary's speech wasn't about electing Obama - it was about electing a Democrat. It just so happens that Obama is the Democrats' candidate.

There was a lot of Hillary and not a lot of Obama in Hillary's speech. In many ways, this seems to be a generational spat--self-obsessed boomers grasping their fading power. Pass the torch!

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED

Thanks to several alert readers here at No Quarter, I have learned about a new documentary on Caucus Fraud that is just coming out. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED, by Gigi Gaston, came into being according to their website because:

As Americans, we expect certain liberties and rights that were granted us by our forefathers, who wrote documents like the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. WE THE PEOPLE expect that these fundamental rights will always be protected.

However, in the current Democratic Presidential Primary, this has not been the case. We believe that the The Democratic National Committee (DNC) made a grave error by depriving American voters of their choice of Hillary Clinton as Democratic nominee. Senator Clinton, by all accounts, except caucuses, won the Primary Election and, therefore, should be the 2008 Democratic Nominee.

That didn’t happen, due largely to illegitimate and illegal acts. We have interviews of many accounts from caucus states recounting threats, intimidation, lies, stolen documents, falsified documents, busing in voters in exchange for paying for “dinners,” etc.

There are at least 2000 complaints, in Texas alone, of irregularities directed towards the Obama Campaign, that have lead to a very fractured and broken Democratic Party.

The preview, all 33 minutes of it, is compelling. In essence, it is a visual companion to the work of Dr. Lynette Long at Caucus Fraud and Peniel Cronin on Primaries and Caucuses (which will appear at NQ shortly). In short, it is disturbing not just how this happened, but THAT it happened in our country.

I invite you to watch the preview to this documentary, about which the authors said this:

This documentary is about the disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama Campaign. We the People have made this film. Democrats have sent in their stories from all parts of America.

We want to be heard and let the country know how our party has sanctioned the actions of what we feel are Obama campaign Chicago Machine dirty politics.

We believe this campaign of Change from Chicago encouraged and created an army to steal caucus packets, falsify documents, change results, allow unregistered people to vote, scare and intimidate Hillary supporters, stalk them, threaten them, lock them out of their polling places, silence their voices and stop their right to vote, which is, of course, all documented in WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED.

My deepest thanks to all of those at WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED for your commitment to democracy, to the rights of Americans, all Americans, to vote. Thank you for your courage and integrity in getting this critical information out. And thank you for bringing the voices of these Americans out for us all to witness.
