On Monday, at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Hillary Clinton made it clear in her speech to the Hispanic Caucus that the stakes were far too high in this election to not work tirelessly to elect Barack Obama.
Clinton accurately stated that Republicans would try to divide us and distract Democrats from the ultimate goal by trying to rehash the battles of the primaries.
She is exactly right. That is John McCain's strategy. He has several new ads that solely aim to persuade disgruntled Clinton supporters.
I believe Hillary Clinton's speech on Tuesday night will go a long way towards slamming the door on McCain's hopes to attract past Clinton supporters, which is a good thing not just for us here in Texas, but all across the nation.
“Every one of us could stand up and recite all the reasons why we must elect Barack. The Supreme Court is at stake; our educational system needs the right kind of change. We’ve got to become energy independent; we have to create millions of new green collar jobs. We’ve got so much work to do around the world.
“None of that will happen if John McCain is in the White House. I just want to make it absolutely clear we cannot afford four more years of George W. Bush’s failed policies in America, and that’s what we would get with John McCain.
"Now I understand that the McCain campaign is running ads trying to divide us, and let me state what I think about their tactics and these ads: I am Hillary Clinton, and I do not approve that message.
“So let there be no mistake about it, we are united. We are united for change.”
