Person For The Week: Hillary Clinton.

The task of choosing a person for the week was a HUGE one this week.

It could have easily been Joe Biden, but he has so far been less than news worthy, in a commanding sort of way.

It could have been Michelle Obama, but no matter how good her performance was in giving her speech, she did not merit the accolade.

Barack Obama?

Well, he was supposed to be the week's subject but he was upstaged in that regard (other than for his news worthy text message that had EVERYONE on "pins and needles" waiting for that familiar ring tone that announced the arrival of a text message. Moreover, I found his speech less than inspiring, unlike his speech about Rev. Wright, which I felt was near MLK, Jr.'s "I have a dream speech".

So who is it?

When you think about it, Hillary Clinton managed to upstage Barack Obama, and her CLASSY act -- I know, I know, many of you do not think those words should be used in the sentence with the Clintons, but bear with me -- of moving for Obama to be nominated by acclamation, together with the press wondering if her presence at the convention was an impending train wreck qualifies her as our person for the week.

John McCain qualifies for honorable mention for his SURPRISE pick of Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, as VP candidate, and only missed the person for the week honor because he has not generated enough news for the week.

I'll let you guess who might be shaping up to be next week's person for week.
