Goodbye to Hillary
This week, the DNC was supposed to be all about Obama. But for many people, Hillary was the star -- their glorious falling star. And she lit up for one brilliant speech Tuesday night as she graciously -- and presidentially -- threw her support behind Obama. It was one of the most poignant moments of the race so far for me, and I don't even support Hillary.
I've been conflicted all along about the two democratic candidates, going so far as to pen a column endorsing Hillary before the February primary election in California. Immediately after the election I wrote a column changing my support to Obama, mostly because I realized not only could he win, but he would win.
My decision wavered again Tuesday night with Hillary's address and, at least, to me, the obvious sincerity of her plea for party unity. This is what it would have been like to have her as president. And it would have been good.
