Day Two: Hill Dawg



Day two of the Democratic National Convention featured Hill Dawg giving a energizing speech about party unity...without climbing aboard herself.

Hillary Clinton thanked her supporters (affectionately calling them the "sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits"), pleading with them to vote for the party instead of defecting to the GOP.

"I want you to ask yourselves; 'Were you in this campaign just for me?'" she said.

Clinton rarely spoke of Obama during the 25-minute speech, choosing to stick to vague generalizations of what the democratic nominee should be.

A positive thing that resulted from her speech might have been the potential new mantra for the party in this election.

"No way, no how, no McCain."

During the routine roll call, Clinton stepped into the spotlight one last time to move for an end to the roll call and nominate Obama by acclamation to stop any drama before it started.

Maybe the curtain is finally closing on an era.
