The second night of the Democratic convention: Meet the Northern Methodist church lady | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: This was a very good program, which was preceded by the Roll Call Vote and Bernie Sanders and the Vermont Delegation moving Clinton's nomination by acclamation. It was the touch that was essentail to unifty most of the delegates (although some walked out).
Many of the speakers made me cry. I missed Goveror Richards' little girl (I had not known of the connection) - but I think she did not mention abortion because she no longer needs to. Roe is going nowhere - the only one who feels likewise, Justice Thomas, is leaving the Court after the Spring Term - although Alito my hold that chair - he certainly didn't during the partial birth abortion case. The people have mostly accepted the inevitability of first trimester abortion and the GOP won't compromise on the second (and the rare third) because then everyone would say that the issue is done. Hopefully Obama addresses it now as promised.
I loved Clinton's speech. We saw her through his eyes - and anyone who knows her history knows she was a bookish chick in law school and has never been glamorous. His speech put us right there and that is very humanizing. You have to be a fan of the Clintons as people to be moved by it. He also listed her accomplishments at State - something she was loathe to do because the ethics of a cabinet secretary are to give all praise to the President and not take credit for anything. That is true is city and state government, as I experienced first hand. I am interested in what Obama is saying, which is going to be on within the hour of my writing this.
