Primetime '08
The next chapter in one of the biggest political stories in history is finally here.
The Democratic National Convention is officially underway. Scores of political pundits, supporters, bloggers, party nominees and yours truly are already tuned in. Something pretty amazing is going to happen here, something big.
Members of the press are analyzing the inner workings of the convention coverage, taking note of Barack Obama's historic candidacy and what it means for American politics. The week begins with Michelle Obama addressing the convention in primetime tonight, followed by a host of party leaders addressing the nation later this week.
One event in particular that's sure to have everyone talking is what will Hillary Clinton bring to the convention this week? Will she give Barack Obama the support he needs in order to take the White House in November?
Will Clinton supporters, who still advocate for her as the best Democratic candidate for president, be willing to take a second look at Obama and vote for him?
Will the party be unified as a result of the convention, or will it take several additional weeks before the party as a whole can come together and take the fight to McCain and his running mate for the presidency? This race is still up for grabs and, like in the old adage of sports competition, "It's anybody's game."
Question: What would Clinton supporters need to hear from Mrs. Clinton to give their support to Barack Obama this fall?
