DENVER – It is about 9pm EST and the buzz is all about Hillary. The Convention hall is filling up. Tonight is different. You can tell the scores of Hillary supporters due to the visible Hillary paraphrenalia being worn. This night will be significant as it will determine the direction of the soul of the party. There is an anticipatory feel in the Hall. Will there be a seemless merger of emotional affinities? I will return back to Hillary in a jiffy.
Last night, I witnessed the Carnivalizing of Denver courtesy of the talent of Wyclef Jean. Wyclef Jean co-host an after party with Bizmarkie at a Denver downtown club. Wyclef demonstrated the musical dexterity of a magician. He warmed the crowd up with a medley of Bob Marley standard and built a energizing mood with the spectrum of Caribbean melodies. He had the audience nibbling out of the palm of his hands. He stopped mid-lyric and reminded the audience that he was from Haiti. He questioned the audience whether they were ready for a new president. In his usual Brooklyn Haitian cadence he incited a near electoral riot. Shirts were swirling, campaign signs were waving, and bacchanal smiles filled the room. The fire marshalls stood by nervously as Wyclef stood on one of the speaker and created bedlam as he instructed “tear the club down” tear McCain down”. They smiled and shook their heads. He closed the club down with a congaline into the streets. He basically shut it down.
Now back to Hillary after that short station break. The primary question tonight will be whether Hillary could take the emotional equity of her supporters and transport them towards the best interests of the party and the nation. It will not be easy. They are vested in her.
Stay tune for the feedback.
