(more Hillary speech coverage. - promoted by juls)

I hate to say this, but seeing Hillary up on the big screen at the CDP convention is totally giving me flashbacks to the now infamous 1984 parody ad.

I say this not to be mean, but just to marvel at the impact of this new media environment. I saw that ad probably a dozen times, between getting it passed around by friends and the media coverage it received. I realize that most people who see Hillary will speak will see her on that big screen, and it will evoke the negative imagery of "Vote Different," which just says how brilliant that particular hit piece was.

So far I am not wowed by Hillary's speech, and I would say the reaction of the crowd is tepid at best. The highlight: she talked about immigration reform and wanting to "bring people from the shadows." The lowlight: The whole "you are invisible" refrain is really not working for me.

About to go to a press conference with her now, which should be really interesting!

No kidding (0.00 / 0)
Let's do the timewarp again.  While we're doing Jesus Jones, what other early 90s music can we awkwardly co-op? Cracker "Get Off This" jumps to mind.

Obama's nailing the music too (0.00 / 0)
He's got soul. And he's superbad.

Tough to get too much Aretha.
