“Although they were thousands of miles away, the crowd in the Thompsonsâ€™ living room [in Montana, where Obama watched the speech] clapped along when Chelsea introduced her mother.”
“Thousands of miles…”?
Actually, 554 miles from Billings, MT to Denver, CO. according to Google Maps.

I thought both Bill and Hillary’s speeches were extraordinary. I thought she was both funny and cogent and she never strayed far from giving her props to Obama. Bill’s was very good , too, because he is the only one (besides Carter) who can genuinely give an endorsement from having had the experience. So, as a former Hillary voter, I am glad they were able to deliver in such a positive way.

You've totally misread me, but I understand it's because you have that pesky Y-chromosome. Maybe it's not possible for men to understand my point, which is that Hillary can't afford to give credit to others in the same way a man could. I thought her speech at the convention was great. Period. I don't think everything the woman's ever done is great â€” certainly not within her campaign â€” and that might be another area where we differ, but she gave a superior speech.
