My name is Hillary Clinton and I am running for president

I am not here to start a campaign. I am here to start a conversation with our country.

She was introduced by Tobias, treasurer to the DNC. Booooring. Then he said her name, the room went ape shit. Seriously.

Clinton has just said that more people went bankrupt last year than graduated from college ... there was a collective, OH! from the audience.

Her message is all about economics, about how people are going bankrupt, that there is no middle class, that jobs being lost to China.

Uh-oh ... people are heckling Clinton over the "non-binding" resolution.

"Had I been the President in 2002, I would not have gone into war".

"If this Congress doesnt end the war, in 2009 as president I will".

She is talking about her experience with the health care bill project and is talking about how she learned from that experience.

She is talking about her "life time of experience" and about "knowing a thing or two about winning campaigns".

She's just given a whole laundry list of her accomplishments ... "We can elect the first woman president ... We can stop global warming ... We can stop the genocide in Darfur ... we can end the war in Iraq ... "

And the crowd goes wild ... to the best song yet (as per Michael) of any of the campaigns. I unfortunately have no idea what the song is, but it's interesting how all these candidates have "a song".

Words to live by

If you go ahead and boycott you may as well should brace yourself to risk losing your job. But to advise that as a reason not to is as wortheless as telling someone not to go to war because they may die! Obviously in fighting for anything worthy there is much risk and much sacrifice and that is what America is all about.

This is a monumental movement. Has the tumult of illegal immigrants marching helped their cause in the past? Yes it has. It brought immigrants out of the shadows and into the light. It put the 'A' for amnesty in Senate's immigration debate. What will a boycott do I am not sure but I am suspicious of all the nay sayers who tell others to be mediocre in their endeavors.

The hypocrisy of greed has led to this by allowing companies to partake in illegal hiring practices. And everyone is guilty of that from politicians to farmers to those who needed their garden hedged. This is the unfortunate backlash of a broken immigration system. We only have ourselves to blame and should stop scapegoating and criminalizing those who came here in search of a better life.
