so, it came down to this

It appears that the Democrats may have pulled their chestnuts out of the fire with the powerful speech, and endorsement, that Bill Clinton provided in Denver on Wednesday night. Doubts had lingered that the Clinton's were truly behind Obama, and plenty had circulated about various gripes and slights felt by the Clinton's and their respective supporters. Most if not all of that seemed to have been eliminated by Bill Clinton's appearance Wednesday night, his forceful language, and most of all his linkage of experiences and criticisms that he faced in 1992 with that which Obama has run into this cycle. No stronger endorsement could have been proffered. Whether this does unite the Democrats, and eliminates this story line for the media, and for the Republicans, remains to be seen.
