Can the Clinton folks just shut up? I don't know, saying that Democrats should act like Republicans and demanding instant gratification for a 4 day serial on the first night is the kind of political advice that will drive people like me - including me - out of the party if it becomes clear that it's the only operating plan in the future. Give the convention a chance.
Howard Wolfson, James Carville, and all of the other Clinton high-paid political operatives that figured out how to lose her primary and run up a huge debt when starting with advantages never before seen in a candidate - just go away. Let the actual Clintons do their thing, and shut these campaign contribution syphons up.
BTW - for all the political pundits who somehow missed the point of what last night was about - it was the connection to a mystical time for Democrats. Obama doesn't want Democrats to think it's time to go back to the Clinton years. He wants them to think about the glory of Camelot. JFK, Jackie, Bobby... didn't they see that last night?
No, they were too busy looking for controversy.
The coverage last night was abysmal.
One of my friends pointed out that all her aging Hillary supporting friends are childless. They could care less about the future, because they aren't invested in it.
Made a lot of sense.
