Hillary Clinton speaks at convention. The press concocts a story


After last nights rousing and historic address in front of the Democratic National Convention in which Hillary Clinton gave her support to Barack Obama, Eric Boehlert has a an enlightening column over at Media Matters today.

For weeks now political pundits and the media have been questioning Clinton's motives for allowing her name to be placed into nomination for the presidency tonight. They have claimed that this is all a ploy by the Clinton's to promote disharmony among rank and file Democrats and to somehow steal the spotlight and nomination away from Obama.

This is simply not true.

In his column, Boehlert puts into historical perspective last night speech by Hillary Clinton and what it means to the Democrats to have her name be placed into nomination. The Clinton critics all seem to forget their convention history when it comes to Hillary.
