I’ll be the first to admit that I was wrong. Thank god.
I’m actually really impressed with this strong display of support from Hilary and from the Democratic delegates. Sure, it would have been nice if the Clintons hadn’t waited until the convention to fully support Barack Obama, but at least they did in the end.

The FBI is investigating claims of an assassination plot against Barack Obama after four people were arrested near the Democratic convention in Denver in the possession of high-powered rifles.
One of the suspects told of a plan to shoot the presidential nominee “from a high vantage point … with a … rifle.” Nathan Johnson, who denies involvement in the plot, said his friends “were here to do that – to assassinate him.”
When I heard this news last night, my jaw literally dropped (in spite of my TMJ pain) and my heart pounded. I realized months ago that assassination attempts could become a reality if Obama was elected, but hearing the news that there was even an active assassination plot hit me much harder than I’d anticipated. But then of course, Hilary warned us of this months ago, didn’t she?
Now, why in the world is Clinton still hesitant to direct her supporters to vote for Barack Obama in November?
Clinton said she wouldn’t tell her backers how to vote, but she told them she would cast her own vote for Obama. “We were not all on the same side as Democrats, but we are now,” she said.
Of course, Clinton is expected to fully endorse Obama tonight, so I’m sure that the past three months of stalling and two-faced compliments were simply coincidence.
On a related note, when I went in search of information about Sunday’s assassination story, I stumbled upon this incredible art exhibit by Yazmany Arboleda. The exhibit explored the figurative, but highly effective attempts by the American populace to assassinate Barack Obama’s reputation during his historic candidacy, and the artist did a parallel exhibit for Hilary Clinton.
