Hillary's Speech

Well. Didn't she acquit herself well? The consensus seems to be that she did what she needed to do to help the ticket. One observer, noted on www.Electoral-Vote.com, suggested that her endorsement was something shy of ringing. She never came out and praised his virtues, leadership ability, or vision. She essentially said "he'll fight for the things I believe in, so support him". But she at least said it enthusiastically, and without any irony or undercurrent.

It will do the job for most of Senator Clinton's supporters. There will undoubtedly be some dead-enders who will never, ever give up. oh well.

There will be a brief hiatus while I traipse downstairs. Some lunatic ( I'm looking at you, David Bright), called me at 6:15 a.m. to ask me to distribute some DVD's to the delegation. I croaked something resembling a positive response. An hour later his local contact calls me breathlessly to ask if she can come up to the room and drop the packages off. I suggested that the whole not- wearing -clothing thing might be an issue. She chirped " That's ok, nothing I haven't seen before." I suggested that it would be better for all, (especially my roomate, livid at being awakened) if I met her in the lobby. She proceeded to give me a detailed description of what she was wearing. As if there would be a flock of people with crates of DVD's in the lobby...

I can't repeat my roommate's observations on this episode. They were colorful.

Off to breakfast and whatever fresh hell this DVD escapade entails.
