When Election ‘08 is long over and done with and the dust has cleared, this will be remembered as the defining moment for Hillary Clinton’s campaign:
I’ve been as big of Hillary detractor as anyone out there, but it was this that made me reconsider her. The cynics out there will say that it was calculated and staged, but I do think that she really does believe what she is saying and that the emotion is real.
My biggest reason so far for not supporting Hillary is that I didn’t think she could win. Perhaps, and only perhaps, if she showed more of herself like this, she could pull off a victory. I’m not willing to give up on Edwards yet (as I still think he’s the surest bet against a Republican), but should he not make it, I’m beginning to think my support would go to Hillary over Obama. That’s just me though and it’s not definite yet.
Congratulations to Hillary and her supporters on tonight’s win in New Hampshire.
P.S. I’m nearly recovered from my bout with the stomach flu as is Buckaroo. Thank you for all your well wishes, and when I get caught up on things I’ve missed from being sick, I’ll get back to blogging more.
