(20,047 posts)I should have made that clear, but I wasn't thinking. It was still cool though. I'd have had to been a MUCH bigger player to get beyond the state level in such a highly contested race when I was supporting a main player. Which I was not!
Yeah, I had some realist/realization moments pretty early on in Obama's term. It was also when I began to realize how important it is for us to focus on the US congressional and senate seats. With just a few more senate seats (to buffer the illnesses, etc.) I think things might have worked out differently on some important issues. I wish we Democrats could get this worked up and organized for more than the presidential elections. I believe it would change the face of politics in this country if we could. We seem to only get our game on really well in presidential elections years though.
Bill Clinton talking too long isn't a surprise, but people booing him talking kind of shocks me. I didn't know about that, it was just before my political awareness time. I thought everyone loved to listen to his classic spokesman style, even if he were talking silly fluff. Live and learn. Still, that must have been an amazing experience, to be at the National Convention as a delegate for Jessee Jackson, wow! It's one heck of a cool claim to fame if you ask me!
