His wife ain't too shabby, either...
I haven't been watching the convention as it happens, so I've been getting bits and pieces out of order as I try to catch up. I didn't see Hillary's big speech until after I saw Bill's, so here's the clip of her big moment:
As I mentioned over a year ago, I think the Democrats are missing an opportunity by passing over Hillary for Barack. I don't necessarily agree with her policies, but she's a significantly more engaging personality. I honestly think her speech was better than Bill's.
It's just as well, I've got to vote for the Republican ticket no matter what, and it's a lot easier for me to do with Obama on the other side. More important than any one leader is maintaining divided government -- Congress is lost to the Dems so the White House has got to go to the Republicans, for the good of the country. If Congress was in the hands of the Republicans, I'd hold my nose and vote for Obama, despite my many reservations about the man.

Does the choice of Palin for veep give you any pause?

Oh man, there are so many things about this election year that give me pause...
I've been meaning to write up my thoughts on Palin here... things have been pretty hectic in the real world... but look for a posting soon on the topic. ;-)

David,
Agree. The last thing we need is a single party government with expanded Dem majorities and led by a toe-the-party-line Democrat like Obama. I've been flogging the divided government meme on my blog for over two years. Voted straight Dem in '06. Voting for McCain/Palin in '08.
