I,too, wish that Bill Clinton could have run for another term. Did you see people in the audience crying? Saying good bye to Bill Clinton is like saying good bye to an old friend. We've been on an emotional roller coaster with this man. We also love the way that he connects to people. I've never met him, but boy do I feel like I know his heart. While the country was panting about who Gore was going to select for his running mate, I (jokingly) said that he should select Bill.
Also, Al Gore is running from Clinton, but he should actually embrace him. The American people love this man no matter what! I mean folks love money and happiness and with this prosperity, they have both. All that laughter about the "good times" we are having allows them to get a sudden amnesia about the Lewinsky debacle.
Speaking of the impeached President Clinton..I loved the way he just slightly connoted the tension that others may have with regard to his character. Did you hear the last few words..."No matter what you think about me, know that we stood for the people." Just smooth.
At any rate, I think that the speech definitely sparked my excitement about the party. I would really like to see Gore elected. But, like you, I think that his campaign still needs work. We need to see his heart. And that's just because people are looking for a charismatic and compassionate president in addition to the policy expert. Gore has the latter, but I still haven't seen the former 2...maybe we'll see that on Thursday.
