Bill Clinton, Getting the Gang Ready to Rock and Roll

Searching for a way to describe Hillary Clinton's popularity with Democrats, ABC News anchor Peter Jennings said last night, as the crowd at the FleetCenter in Boston cheered her, "Senator Clinton is a rock star."

Maybe so, but guess who was about to come out there and set the Democratic National Convention on its ear: a veritable combination of Elvis, the Beatles, James Brown and Bruce Springsteen put together. There he was, huger than life: Bill Clinton, who after his introduction by his wife raced breathlessly through what seemed a 40-minute speech crammed into about 25 and got the 2004 presidential race roaringly underway. He was just plain magnificent.

6. OK Den

your point?I heard Obama say he was against it.ya know all this for and against stuff is a moot point IMO b/c the vote was skewed by deceptions and lies.So it don't count.

8. Not to mention that a person being sincere

about something does not mean that it was right. I don't have any doubts that * was sincere about wanting to invade Iraq.

7. Yes, Clinton has that very rare "something"

called charisma. His speech last night was one of the best I've ever heard, and equal to Kennedy. Politicians like that only show up once or twice in a person's lifetime. The contrast to doofus is unbearable.
