I just attended the Public Library Association conference in Minneapolis. A vendor took pictures of librarians standing next to candidate cutouts; here's me and my gal:
Today Bill Clinton stumped for Hillary in my town. I arrived three hours early to ensure a good spot, and he was (predictably) about an hour late, so my poor aching back and my poor aching feet, oy vey.
But it was worth it. Bill gave a good speech. It wasn't bombast and cheerleading, it was very policy-wonkish and Clintonesque, and a good way to remind me why I'm for Hillary - it's the policy, not the charisma, that I favor.
The audience was heavily female, and I suppose the press would spin that negatively, but why? why? Why shouldn't women unite and vote for someone who will uphold their interests?
(Oh, and I shook Bill's hand! Squee!)
I'm voting for Hillary because of the breadth and depth of her experience, because her health care plan is the best one out there, and yes, because she's a woman. I wouldn't vote for her just because she's a woman, but my goodness, doesn't it help?
