Well it was not only the speech of a lifetime, but the speech a lot of us younger women who have felt alienated and disillusioned by politics for most of our lifetimes wish she would have delivered in the beginning. She talked about the cracks she made in the biggest glass ceiling of all and that she isn't someone running for president who happens to be a woman (the way she started out)... but that she was a woman who ran for president. Instead of belittling and chiding a message of hope, she adopted it.
People! Don't be sad...these are historic and amazing times that I am so excited I got to witness.
CNN is reporting on the part that really bothers me: the bitterness her supporters are expressing as they leave the speech area, the idea that, "Obama better pick her as the VP or I won't vote for him." My God people greater good. Take your anger out on the evil ones, not Obama who is in the middle of transforming the democratic party and brought millions of new voters into the fold. These are things to be glad about and celebrate. In other words, it's bigger than your own disappointment. You can bet if Hillary were the nominee right now Dimpled Chads would be pumped and ready to help our woman beat McCain to a pulp. So climb on board the Obama train, it's lots of fun, we throw good parties, and remember this is about our country and our future.
