People poured out of Denver’s Pepsi Center following Sen. Clinton’s speech Tuesday night. With so much attention focused in recent days on how Hillary would fare, I asked some of the attendees for their reaction.

I believe its time for the democrats to be realistic when it comes to Sen. Obama.  He talks a good game but there is a hollowness that follows.  He has no real experience; has never been put through the political fire and looks at the picture in black and white. Democrats hear me, voting for Obama will bring pain, trouble, economic hardship as never before experienced and a unrealistic idea ( HOPE ) that he can change things and everything will be better. He is the WOLF dressed in sheeps clothing, beware.

She did a fantastic job.

I listened to Sen. Clinton's speech and although she  was well spoken I didn't feel that she was sincere.  The fact that Hillary waited so long to back Obama  will hurt the Democratic party and cost them the election.

Great job by a great lady.  I did love her speech and I really loved the reaction to her speech by both sides of the democratic party, her supporter loved her and I think Obama supporter have seen why Hillary's supporters wanted her so badly.  Not to sound dimiss Obama choice as a running mate, but I would have loved to see a Obama/Clinton ticket.

I will not vote for Obama.  There will be no change with him. Hillary's spoke to all the people.  It came from her heart.  Obama has 0 to offer.  Change what???? I still have to hear any thing.  How will he do it??? Raise tax's?????  I have lots of questions. I dont think i will get the answer from Obama.  Again I will not vote for Obama. Be care full people.  Think be for you vote.

Dear Hillery, Our Country really needs you. Please hang in there. You will be our next President. Obama should have had you by his side and visa versa. He could have caused the Democated party to lose because of his wrong choice of a V.P. We love you.
