Twitterers want Bill Clinton for president (and boyfriend)

Those who watched Bill Clinton's speech at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night were all a-Twitter, and the tweeted reviews were mostly raves.

The positive reemergence of "the male Clinton," as many Twitterers referred to him, inspired a hopeful — but technically impossible — push for his reelection. "I love Bill Clinton in a completely appropriate way. Re elect the male Clinton!!! We wish, right?" Sara Lidstrom wrote on her Twitter page shortly after the speech.

A few naysayers chimed in, calling Clinton's rhetoric boring and unconvincing. Adam Kmiec tweeted, "so disappointed with Bill Clinton's speech.  wish he would have said the truth instead of playing politics."

As is the case with most smooth talkers, Clinton's appearance reignited the age-old debate: Would you date him? "I want to re-elect Bill Clinton after that speech he gave tonight. I still don't find him hot, though," wrote MissSueBurbia on her Twitter page.

Some women could still see the appeal of the 62-year-old politician. "It's official: My crush on Bill Clinton has been restored," Josephine wrote on Twitter.

DWMDC was disappointed — not with the speech but with the phenomenon of aging. "Alright, I confess:  Bill Clinton is no longer "hot"," she wrote on her page.

Still, some Twitterers managed to stay on topic. They discussed the content of Clinton's speech, which focused on his endorsement for a Barack Obama-Joe Biden ticket.

And one pro-Clinton twitterer may even be out in front of the pack on the next nonagenarian political celebrity:

"Bill Clinton passed the torch beautifully. Can't deny the man gives a great speech," Seth tweeted. "And OMG Joe Biden's mom is adorable."

DEMOCRATES GOT THIS SO WRONG THIS ELECTION YEAR!
Obama screwed up, just as expected and predicted…

Count how many Obama selected top advisors have been fired from his camp, but ONLY after voters began to discover for themselves where MEDIA, like CNN & MSNBC failed to report the truth and of course the rapid drop in polls, otherwise Rev Wright would still be employed by Obama camp. Next Obama's selects VP vetting team, Jim Johnson who got the sweetheart deal from countrywide and fired and Caroline Kennedy no experience at all, (payback for Ted Kennedy’s support) who both stupidly ignored the historic candidate who split the primary elections down the middle, won the popular vote, 23 primaries, with 18 million strong supporters, they wrongly pick Biden who got just 9000 votes in primaries and contradicts his change message and the war vote the media helped him use against Hillary that Biden voted for as well? Proof is Biden gained him zero "bounce" in the polls. Infact it underlines his inexperienced to lead and make a decision based on what’s best for the country and not just for him and Michelle.

What would Clinton of added to the ticket? Apparently a WIN. If Clinton were at the top of the ticket, even today polls show she would be leading McCain by 8pts 3 months after ending her campaign. Clinton herself enjoys 87 percent approval ratings among Democrats, Gallup reports three out of four Democrats would like to see her as president and be a major-party spokeswoman over the next four years. Clinton's supporters lukewarm in their support for Obama mainly because of the sexist way his camp treated Senator and President Bill Clinton. David Axelrod has said often in the past; “Obama doesn’t need her supporters” they vote republican anyway, why are they begging for them now? DNC is shaking in their boots over selection of Palin.
Especially after the historic DNC convention Obama ONLY got an average 2pt bump in polls, when history shows most got 10-15pt bump.

Simply Put: “ Dems showing “BUYERS REMORSE”

Tabloid Cable media especially CNN ( Obama hired help)& MSNBC should be boycotted for frankly putting the security of our great country at risk with an Obama coronation in the bias election opinions nightly. It’s extremely concerning that so many Americans could care less about who their candidate really is?? He’s black, let’s make it happen? Simply amazing and frankly scary.

Obama has shown this entire season he can be pushed and told exactly what to do just what we can’t have in the White House and remember grandma; he will throw anyone under a buss if it helps politically so; WATCH OUT MICHELLE!

Obama, Pelosi and Dean are why we changed our party affiliation to “Independent” When all the benefits are with the Democrats this election; they selected the wrong candidate, who in turn selected the wrong VP candidate by a mile.
