I watched last nigfht too-saw Hillary and Bill. Loved the Don't Stop intro.

I know it's a pep rally and I know also that the primary job the delegates have there is to get a party platform written that the majority of the Dems can support. I don't expect much of it, it's interesting to watch however.

Clinton was good last night. He was more than good. His speech was organized and to the point, unlike our friend in the White House. I don't care much for the man personally but I have to give credit where credit is due.

The main point to me is to get Bush out of the White House and his Republicans with him. It's top priority to me. Let's just hope and pray we can do that. I'm not sure Kerry can beat Bush. I'd rather they'd have waited to see if somebody better didn't emerge. Oh, well.

As to why we haven't more candidates of upstanding moral integrity I believe that a lot of those kinds of people don't want to run given the situation here in America where your private life and your family's private life is going to be taken apart by the media. Some people think that their family is more important than running for office if that is what it is going to mean. I am sorry because I agree we need somebody we can look up to and say this is a good man. I used to hear my parents talk about Roosevelt and Churchill and you could tell they thought those men were true leaders. I wish I could have felt that way about somebody who has been in office during my voting years. Kennedy comes closest but even he was not that great of a leader. People can accomplish extraordinary things when led by a leader who has some sort of vision to make the world better. I just wish we could have someone like that for President.

By the way, who is Paul Wellstone?
