Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumI didn't support Hillary in 2008, but this is why I am supporting her now
She could have burned the house down in 2008. She could have turned the Dem convention into something ugly. She didn't do that. She showed grace and class by accepting the will of her party, a lesson that others need to learn today.

(297,261 posts)I don't care that some can't get over that I didn't like her for the nom but I started liking her at the convention and then when President Obama chose he to be his SOS.. I rooted for both of them.
And, now I just love her.. and BS fans will just have to deal.
Thank you for this, Yavin.. excellent thought.

(1,307 posts)Even then is was liking Obama better but it was close. I could have lived with either outcome in the primary. Now we are close to getting them both.

She waited. She looked at what was possible. You ALL waited!

I will never forget on a talking head show once: one babble head said to another " how dare you change your position on abortion! " and I was like: isn't that what debating is all about?
