Are We Ready To Forgive The Clintons?

Yesterday we polled BONTV readers on whether they felt Hillary Clinton's speech at the Democratic National Convention fully supported Barack Obama.

60% of voters answered Yes.

Yes [ 60% ]
No [ 40% ]

Last night, President Bill Clinton took to the mic and podium where he not only supported Obama but drew comparisons between Obama and himself.

So after this speech, are we ready to forgive The Clintons for running such a dirty primary campaign against our beloved Obama?

Did Hillary's Speech Fully Support Barack?

For the past two weeks it had been the Olympics, now it's the 45th Democratic National Convention that seems to have me glued to my tube each night.

Last night, we heard one of the most highly anticipated speeches of the convention by none other than Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Speculations was all the buzz as folks wondered whether Hillary's speech would unify the party. Would she be convincing in her support of her former opponent, Barack Obama? Would she lead her supporters, who are foolishly now supporting McCain, to vote for Obama? Or would she keep the spotlight on herself as she secretly plots to run again for president in 2012 if McCain should win?

You be the judge. Watch the clip below and vote on today's poll; Did Hillary's Speech Fully Support Barack?

"No way, No how, No McCain!"

Hell No! FCUK Hillary!

In a recent BONTV poll we asked readers on whether they felt Barack Obama should choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate?

55% of voters answered HELL NO, FCUK Hillary!

Yes [ 14% ]
No [ 29% ]
Hell No, FCUK Hillary! [55%]

Accoring to these polls, it seems the Democratic party is far from unified after this long presidential nominee campaign.

I must say a while back I thought the idea of these two candidates coming together would be a 'dream'. But after this mess of a campaign, now I am not so sure.

As much as I want Barack Obama to be the next president, I don't know if Clinton can be trusted as his running mate. I fear she would secretly sabotage Obama's good endeavors for the country with the hopes of saying, 'I told you I was the better candidate.'.

Are We There Yet Papa Smurf?

So after what felt like a year of campaigning, tonight should mark the end of the Obama/Clinton marathon race for The White House.

Obama is expected to snag the 35 delegates needed to win. While Hillary is planning on making a speech from New York City where she will more than likely announce she will be endorsing Senator Obama.

This has certainly been a long drawn out fight. Hopefully the pair will be able to come together and form a 'dream ticket' and bring some unity to this divided party.

Well...one can hope.

Tyra Talks Politics: Hillary Clinton

Democrat presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, sat down with the Queen of Fierce, Tyra Banks, to chat up some serious topics surrounding her campaign:

Not!

Yes, if anyone can get Hillary to talk about hip hop dancing it certainly would be Tyra. But dancing wasn't the only topic of discussion for the hour long segment. Tyra delved into the past and brought up Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton's infidelity. Hillary explains she had to “…dig down deep and think hard about what was right for me, what was right for my family,”

Hillary is no fool. Since tearing up in New Hampshire was a sure fire way of getting women voters, I'm sure she figured telling Tyra's huge young female audience just how she dealt with a cheating husband would pull women voters just the same.

But I have to admit, I am impressed with Tyra snagging interviews with the presidential hopefuls. She does have a knack for bringing out the non-political side to these normally stiff individuals. Remember her interview of Barack Obama last year?



Yeah, we know Obama likes Jay-Z. According to The New York Post, a Jay-Z track entitled, '99 Problems', was being played at a recent victory party in Iowa for Obama. The hook to the track raps, "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one."

OUCH!

You can catch Hillary Clinton on The Tyra Banks Show this Friday at 5 PM on UPN.

BET and the BLACK Vote!

I don't know about you all, but in trying to make my decision on who to vote for in the upcoming New York Primaries, I am feeling very much like Letoya Luckett.....

TORN!
BET is helping me to make my decision however with their news profile of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. I have to admit this is a good look for BET. Black voters need to know the facts and what better place to get them?

Last week, BET premiered 'Barack Obama and The Black Vote' and unfortunately I missed it. Tomorrow, 'Hillary Clinton and The Black Vote' premieres at 10 PM.

But if you are like me, you might want to watch both of these segments back to back which is possible if you tune into BET on Sunday at 12 noon.

But don't let your research stop there. Read more about both candidates here and here.

Good luck!
