I've just been seeing the words of so many really good-hearted Clinton supporters and I just wanted to express an idea that came to me when I read them.
I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I've been calling from home and from phonebanks. I first knocked on doors in Studio City, CA in June 2007 and I've been working for it since. But now that we're here, I don't want to celebrate. I've been waiting for this day for what seems like forever, but I'm not going to celebrate. I will hold my celebration for November in deference to the Clinton supporters who have done so much for such an equally talented candidate.
Hillary Clinton has been a public servant for 35 years. Her life has been service to her country. Even when she was a corporate lawyer, she was in charge of the Office of Legal Services. And during that time she was serving in all types of ways developing actual policy that helped the people of Arkansas and America. There is no doubt that in one or another every single person on this blog and in this country has been had their lives improved by her service to our country. And she has been nothing, but abused for all her work. While Bill got the adulation, Hillary got the scorn. And it was unfair, sexist and inappropriate. I know how great she is, because I've worked for her candidacy for the Senate.
I also know that we are not done yet. We have 5 months to demonstrate that McCain cannot be president. So for that, I hope that we will hold our celebration until we can all celebrate together.
I also really like the diaries of those who have after such a heartfelt dedication to such an excellent public servant to remain there after this contest. Even if she or they are still advocating for her candidacy. I hope they stay on the top of the Rec List.
