128. I voted for Hillary the first time,
Sat Jul 15, 2017, 01:09 AM
Jul 2017

when she ran against Obama in the primary. I was our party chair then.

When Obama won, my husband and I put in long days working for him. I can't tell you how many calls, how much walking, fundraising, etc., etc. I was never more happy than when he won the Presidency.

We worked hard for his reelection too. We ended up with tickets to McCormick Place on election night. We stood on a concrete floor for about eight hours, but we got to see and hear him after he was declared the winner.

I think about Dean and his loyal supporters. I knew many of them. Look at how hard Dean worked for Democrats after he dropped out of the race. The fifty state strategy! We could use that again.

And she still got 3 million more votes... Johonny Jul 2017 #1
