Political babble

The past 2 nights my TV has been bombarded with the Democratic Convention. Tripp and I are still living in the dark ages watching free TV from the antenna mounted in our attic. We don't have cable so there's no way to escape all the political campaigning. Out of sheer curiosity I decided to watch Hillary Clinton's much anticipated speech last night at the Democratic Convention. Surprisingly enough I found myself appreciating her speaking skills and obvious intelligence. Truthfully I am not a Hillary supporter but after hearing her speak I understood why so many others were, she is quite a compelling speaker. Then tonight I saw her go out onto the floor at the Democratic Convention and actually make a motion to officially nominate Barrack Obama on the Democratic Bill and suspend the formal proceedings of recounting the votes from the primaries. Now, like I said before I am not a Hillary Clinton advocate but I have to say that I was sort of wowed by her ability to put aside her personal feelings and make a nomination for her opponent. Seriously it really takes a big person to make a generous speech for someone they have fought against for months on end. And how humbling to not only "lose" to your opponent but then endorse them in front of the whole nation. I realize it's all part of the "game" of politics but I am very amazed at the position that Hillary Clinton has been put in trying to unify her political party. I guess I sound like a Democrat but I will neither confirm or deny such allegations! haha If you know me well then you can probably guess which way I lean but if you don't then I won't indulge. One thing that I've learned is to not discuss politics because it tends to elicit strong feelings and sometimes erratic debates. However, this blog isn't really about politics or partisan views but rather just me analyzing a person trapped inside the twisted world of politics. As an outsider and a "critique-er" of people I see on TV I often find myself minimizing their human existence and only seeing them for the face they have to wear in their profession. However, due to the circumstances of this Presidential nomination I found myself pondering how Hillary Clinton as a person must feel giving up what she has so longed hoped for and swallowing her pride publicly as she nominated someone else for that role. Not that she cares what I think but I feel badly for the place she now finds herself.
This whole blog just proves what a softy I really am! I feel sorry for a woman who is powerful, holds a seat in the Senate, is a former 1st Lady and most importantly makes enough money to buy a small island in the Caribbean to escape from all this and probably play darts with a giant poster of Obama's face!!!!!
