Hopefully, you'll live long enough to see her not just elected, but inaugurated! (AND even farther, as long as you're up for it, my lady!)

It's a wonderful name, but very few women have that name anymore.
Ah well, all things must pass.
I'm glad to hear that Viola Ford Fletcher was able to vote; and for Kamala.

We are going to win.

When a 110 year old can get herself to the polls and vote .... that is good work.
