Hillary : "I found my voice"
"I have listened to you ... and I found my own voice."
We're in need of a compare and contrast post. I can't wait for the video clips.
Hillary's speech started AWESOME, making reference to "the tear heard around the world". Yet the speech was incredibly clunky with her effort to "we-ify" her rhetoric and move away from the "I will" that has become her trademark throughout the campaign.
I will hold off any comment, but I have to say that Clinton is definitely a survivor. She's not the iron lady people try to paint her. She is pliable, she is flexible, she learns fast her opponents moves and is quick to adapt to her circumstances.
No wonder I voted for her. No matter what I say about her dynastic tendencies, I did vote for her as my senator and I will do it again.
For president? I so wish she had waited 4 years to run ...

A woman won
The press is underplaying the historic significance of last night. For the first time in American history a woman won a presidential election contest. It wasn't long ago that woman candidates for president were rare and not taken seriously. The idea of a woman being on the ballot of a presidential race with five guys, and beating all the guys, would have been unheard of twenty years ago. Or actually unheard of until yesterday. Hillary Clinton made american history. She proved a woman can win.
