I miss Hillary Clinton

[PresidentObama]

There I said it.

I was at my hometown's PRIDEFEST looking at all the booths and vendors when I saw an old friend from four years ago with an Obama pin and clipboard in hand. We met volunteering in 04' for Kerry, and started talking. I signed up to volunteer, and somehow that launched into a conversation about whether Kerry was a good nominee in 2004 or not. I'm sure by my name here on DU, you know which side I took.

Anyway, we were talking when out of the corner of my mind I saw a lesbian couple both with Hillary for President shirts on. They came by us, and smiled. I said nice shirts ladies, and let them go on their way to enjoy the rest of the festivities.

It got me thinking. I miss Hillary.

She ran a great campaign, and despite all the bad things felt towards her...she ran for all the right reasons. We should all be proud of her and Bill Clinton's commitment to winning in November, and to making sure we get the kinds of changes this country so desperately needs.

Even if Obama doesn't pick Hillary for VP, I hope she has a large capacity in the years to come. She's one of the most passionate and tenacious leaders our party has.

My hat's off to Hillary, and I hope she's enjoying her time off.

The Senate is a better place with Hillary Rodham Clinton there.

The Clintons... :yourock:

OH, and GOBAMA!
