Dig,
Your post on Hillary gave me chills.
Like you, I wasn't crazy about her to begin with.
I/We watched her betrayed by Bill, then 'stoned' by thousands/millions & she carried herself with strength!
Not long after she decided to run for senator of NY. Many thought she didn't have a chance, especially against Rudy Giulaini.
Yet she traveled the state on a 'listening tour' and gained respect from many of us (I live in NY)
Rudy had cancer & backed out.
Her next opponent, got into her space during their debate & Hillary won with a landslide.
The way she survived being first lady & becoming NY senator, made her viable to be POTUS.
When she ran against Obama, at first she seemed entitled. But then she was in for the fight of her political life & she NEVER GAVE UP! even when she knew her only chance was in the hands of the Super Delagates & they preferred O.
I didn't think he had enough experience, thought he was reaching too early.
I was sooo upset that he won the primary, for a brief time I didn't know if I could vote FOR him.
After licking my wounds & watching Hillary speak & support Obama in full throat, well she won me over for him ;))
I think Bill & Hillary are the smartest politicians of my lifetime. I enjoy listening to both of them discuss ANY topic.
As you stated so well, what a story!
