Democratic National Convention Winter Meeting

If Donna Brazille's presence at the DNC Winter Meeting is any validation of my suspicions, then HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED will indeed announce his candidacy. And he will only do so after winning the Oscar for that little documentary of his.

Oscar-winning President kind of rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

Let's see if my predictions once again are valid. I was after all the first one to announce Hillary's candidacy after she hired Peter Daou.

Just saying.

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".
