1. I actually love what Hillary said

She paid tribute to the thousands of believers who set aside their lives every four years so they can propel presidential campaigns on little more than blood, sweat and tears.

"They believe in our future. They work around the clock. They are so committed to their cause, and I just want to commend every one of them from every campaign who really makes what is a sacrifice and a commitment," Clinton said. "A lot of them postpone school, leave their families, move across the country, and I'm so grateful for them every single day, and I'm especially just relieved to have this situation end so peacefully without anyone being injured."

3. yes, she did

I trust that Obama and Edwards would have handled themselves just as well. In matters of life and possible death like this, politics tends to take a backseat, the knives get put away and people are just nice to each other for a brief time. I kinda like it.

4. Agree with the both of you - poise, maturity and diplomacy all around

The jerk squad is a TINY minority, and most of us want to get along on some level, even while debating issues.
Everyone that does that has my respect, no matter who their candidate is.

You guys are some of the good ones
