She could have easily found an excuse to avoid going, but she took time away from her campaign to fulfill a commitment. It must have taken guts to show up at a place where she knew that she would confront a somewhat hostile audience. It was interesting for me to see that the people who applauded her the most were women, while the ones who sat on their hands were primordially the young men. No surprise there, as a lot of young white men would have done the same. Checking out many blogs, not just the political ones, it always surprises me to see how many young men who have been born at the latter part of the 20th century can be so sexist. I would have expected it from older men, but not young guys growing up in this time and age.

I digressed, but I think that she did well and was treated with respect. They may not have been overly enthusiastic, but I'm sure she didn't expect it. I'm glad she showed up while none of the other candidates bothered to be there.
